Microbiome composition modulates secondary metabolism in a multispecies bacterial community
Bacterial secondary metabolites are a major source of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds. In microbial communities, these molecules can mediate interspecies interactions and responses to environmental change. Despite the importance of secondary metabolites in human health and microbial ecology, little is known about their roles and ...

In the Arctic, seasonal changes are substantial, and as a result, the marine bacterial community composition and functions differ greatly between the dark winter and light-intensive summer. While light availability is, overall, the external driver of the

Evolutionary history influences the salinity preference of bacterial taxa in wetland soils [PDF]
Salinity is a major driver of bacterial community composition across the globe. Despite growing recognition that different bacterial species are present or active at different salinities, the mechanisms by which salinity structures community composition ...

Composition of the bacterial community in the gastrointestinal tract of Kunming mice
Background: The intestinal bacterial community has an important role in maintaining human health. Dysbiosis is a key inducer of many chronic diseases including obesity and diabetes.

Microbial community composition and function in an urban waterway with combined sewer overflows before and after implementation of a stormwater storage pipe [PDF]
When the wastewater volume exceeds the sewer pipe capacity during extreme rainfall events, untreated sewage discharges directly into rivers as combined sewer overflow (CSO).

Tapping into the maize root microbiome to identify bacteria that promote growth under chilling conditions [PDF]
Background When maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in the Northern hemisphere, its development is heavily arrested by chilling temperatures, especially at the juvenile phase. As some endophytes are beneficial for plants under stress conditions, we analyzed the

Species dynamics in natural bacterial communities over multiple rounds of propagation
Our experimental work illustrates how microbial ecosystems can be shaped by selective pressures over long‐term ecological time scales. Natural microbial ecosystems generally consist of various co‐existing species, where community composition describes ...

Most multicellular organisms harbor microbial colonizers that provide various benefits to their hosts. Although these microbial communities may be host species- or even genotype-specific, the associated bacterial communities can respond plastically to ...
