Urban wastewater bacterial communities assemble into seasonal steady states [PDF]
Abstract Background Microorganisms in urban sanitary sewers exhibit community properties that suggest sewers are a novel ecosystem. Sewer microorganisms present both an opportunity as a control point for wastewater treatment and a risk to human health.

Bacterial community assembly of specific pathogen-free neonatal mice. [PDF]
Abstract Background Neonatal mice are frequently used to model diseases that affect human infants. Microbial community composition has been shown to impact disease progression in these models. Despite this, the maturation of the early-life murine microbiome has not been well-characterized.

Bacterial predation transforms the landscape and community assembly of biofilms
The bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus attaches to the exterior of a Gram-negative prey cell, enters the periplasm, and harvests resources to replicate before lysing the host to find new prey.1-7 Predatory bacteria such as this are common in many natural environments,8-13 as are groups of matrix-bound prey cell clusters, termed biofilms.14-16 Despite

Homogeneous selection is not always important in bacterial community in the eutrophic enclosed bay
Background Previous studies have found that coastal eutrophication increases the influence of homogeneous selection on bacterial community assembly. However, whether seasonal changes affect the dominance of homogenous selection in bacterial community ...

Neutral community model explains the bacterial community assembly in freshwater lakes [PDF]
Over the past decade, neutral theory has gained attention and recognition for its capacity to explain bacterial community structure (BCS) in addition to deterministic processes. However, no clear consensus has been drawn so far on their relative importance.
