Diverse diazotrophs are present on sinking particles in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. [PDF]
Sinking particles transport carbon and nutrients from the surface ocean into the deep sea and are considered hot spots for bacterial diversity and activity.

Bacterial community function increases leaf growth in a pitcher plant experimental system
Across diverse ecosystems, bacteria and their hosts engage in complex relationships having negative, neutral, or positive interactions. However, the specific effects of leaf-associated bacterial community functions on plant growth are poorly understood ...

Acidification increases abundances of Vibrionales and Planctomycetia associated to a seaweed-grazer system: potential consequences for disease and prey digestion efficiency [PDF]
Ocean acidification significantly affects marine organisms in several ways, with complex interactions. Seaweeds might benefit from rising CO2 through increased photosynthesis and carbon acquisition, with subsequent higher growth rates.

Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]
We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.

Bacteria isolated from Bengal cat (Felis catus × Prionailurus bengalensis) anal sac secretions produce volatile compounds potentially associated with animal signaling. [PDF]
In social animals, scent secretions and marking behaviors play critical roles in communication, including intraspecific signals, such as identifying individuals and group membership, as well as interspecific signaling.

Community acquired infections and bacterial resistance
In this paper we review the problems of antibiotic resistance in community acquired infections. We discuss pathogens that have a large impact on morbidity and mortality in the community such as Streptococcus pneumoniae , Streptococcus pyogenes , Neisseria meningitidis , the enteric pathogens Salmonella spp and Campylobacter spp, and the urinary tract ...
