Topographic diversity of fungal and bacterial communities in human skin [PDF]

Nature, 2013
Traditional culture-based methods have incompletely defined the microbial landscape of common recalcitrant human fungal skin diseases, including athlete's foot and toenail infections. Skin protects humans from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms and provides a home for diverse commensal microbiota. Bacterial genomic sequence data have generated novel

Seasonal succession of microbial community co-occurrence patterns and community assembly mechanism in coal mining subsidence lakes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Coal mining subsidence lakes are classic hydrologic characteristics created by underground coal mining and represent severe anthropogenic disturbances and environmental challenges.

Impact of Arsenite on the Bacterial Community Structure and Diversity in Soil

Microbes and environments, 2016
The impact of arsenite (As[III]) on the bacterial community structure and diversity in soil was determined by incubating soil slurries with 50, 500, and 5,000 μM As(III). As(III) was oxidized to arsenate (As[V]), and the microbial contribution to As(III) oxidation was 70-100%.

Structure and Diversity of Soil Bacterial Communities in Offshore Islands [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractThe effects of biogeographical separation and parent material differences in soil bacterial structure and diversity in offshore islands remain poorly understood. In the current study, we used next-generation sequencing to characterize the differences in soil bacterial communities in five offshore subtropical granite islands (Matsu Islets, MI ...

Quantifying relative contributions of biotic interactions to bacterial diversity and community assembly by using community characteristics of microbial eukaryotes

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Biotic interactions are known as a major control on microbial diversity. However, biotic interactions have rarely been quantified in an adequate manner, often leaving much residual variation unexplained in microbial biogeographic studies.

Influence of Fecal Sample Storage on Bacterial Community Diversity [PDF]

The Open Microbiology Journal, 2009
Previous studies have identified a correlation, either positive or negative, between specific stool bacteria strains and certain autoimmune diseases. These conflicting data may relate to sample collection. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of the collection parameters of time and temperature on ...

Diversity of Human Vaginal Bacterial Communities and Associations with Clinically Defined Bacterial Vaginosis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common syndrome associated with numerous adverse health outcomes in women. Despite its medical importance, the etiology and microbial ecology of BV remain poorly understood. We used broad-range PCR to census the community structure of the healthy and BV-affected vaginal microbial ecosystems ...

Sediment enzyme activities and microbial community diversity in an oligotrophic drinking water reservoir, eastern China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Drinking water reservoir plays a vital role in the security of urban water supply, yet little is known about microbial community diversity harbored in the sediment of this oligotrophic freshwater environmental ecosystem. In the present study, integrating

Characterisation of bacterioplankton communities in the meltwater ponds of Bratina Island, Victoria Land, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
A unique collection of Antarctic aquatic environments (meltwater ponds) lies in close proximity on the rock and sediment-covered undulating surface of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, near Bratina Island (Victoria Land, Antarctica).

Warming enhances the effects of nitrogen addition on fungal but not on bacterial diversity in an alpine meadow

Basic and Applied Ecology
Warming and nitrogen (N) deposition significantly affect soil microbial community characteristics. However, the responses of bacterial and fungal diversity to warming and N deposition, as well as the dominant influencing factors, remain unclear ...
