The soil microbiome at the Gi-FACE experiment responds to a moisture gradient but not to CO2 enrichment [PDF]
The soil bacterial community at the Giessen free-air CO2 enrichment (Gi-FACE) experiment was analysed by tag-sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. No substantial effects of CO2 levels on bacterial community composition were detected.

Microbial biogeography of arctic streams: exploring influences of lithology and habitat
Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to explore the community composition of bacterial communities in biofilms on sediments (epipssamon) and rocks (epilithon) in stream reaches that drain watersheds ...

Repeated pulse feeding induces functional stability in anaerobic digestion [PDF]
Anaerobic digestion is an environmental key technology in the future bio-based economy. To achieve functional stability, a minimal microbial community diversity is required. This microbial community should also have a certain “elasticity”, i.e.

The effects of clays on bacterial community composition during arthropod decay. [PDF]
Abstract Fossilization, or the transition of an organism from the biosphere to the geosphere, is a complex mechanism involving numerous biological and geological variables. Bacteria are one of the most significant biotic players to decompose organic matter in natural environments, early on during fossilization ...

Analysis of Bacterial Community Composition by Oligonucleotide Fingerprinting of rRNA Genes [PDF]
ABSTRACT One of the first steps in characterizing an ecosystem is to describe the organisms inhabiting it. For microbial studies, experimental limitations have hindered the ability to depict diverse communities. Here we describe oligonucleotide fingerprinting of rRNA genes (OFRG), a method that permits identification of arrayed ...

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.

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

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 ...

Soil sustainability is based on soil microbial communities’ abundance and composition. Straw returning (SR) and nitrogen (N) fertilization influence soil fertility, enzyme activities, and the soil microbial community and structure.
