Scale-dependent effects of climate and geographic distance on bacterial diversity patterns across northern China's grasslands. [PDF]
Patterns of variation in plant and animal diversity along precipitation gradients have been extensively studied, but much less is known about how and to what extent precipitation affects the biogeographic distribution of microbial diversity in arid areas

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.

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.

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

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

Effects of preservation method on canine (Canis lupus familiaris) fecal microbiota. [PDF]
Studies involving gut microbiome analysis play an increasing role in the evaluation of health and disease in humans and animals alike. Fecal sampling methods for DNA preservation in laboratory, clinical, and field settings can greatly influence ...

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

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