Evidence for selective bacterial community structuring on microplastics
Environmental Microbiology, 2018Summary In aquatic ecosystems, microplastics are a relatively new anthropogenic substrate that can readily be colonized by biofilm‐forming organisms. To examine the effects of substrate type on microbial community assembly, we exposed ambient Baltic bacterioplankton to plastic substrates commonly found in marine environments ...

Bacterial Community Structure at the Microscale in Two Different Soils
Microbial Ecology, 2016The spatial distributions of bacteria in the soil matrix have a role in ecosystem function, for example, at the small scale, through gene transfer or xenobiotic degradation. Soil bacterial biogeography has been evidenced at the large scale, but data are scarce at the small scale.

The structure and functions of bacterial communities in an agrocenosis
Eurasian Soil Science, 2016The most significant factor responsible for the specific taxonomic composition of the bacterial communities in the agrocenosis studied was found to be a part or organ of plants (leaves, flowers, roots, fruits). A stage of plant ontogeny also determines changes of taxa.

Bacterial community structure in fumigated soil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2014Abstract Soil microbial biomass has been determined since the mid 1970's by the chloroform fumigation incubation technique as proposed by Jenkinson and Powlson (1976). The microbial biomass C can be determined by subtracting the CO2 emitted from an unfumigated soil (mineralization of soil organic matter) from that emitted from a chloroform fumigated ...

Formation and structure of mixed bacterial communities
APMIS, 1999Mixed bacterial communities are formed by unrelated bacteria on solid media. Mixed bacterial communities on solid media are similar to “classical” colonies and are formed after the growth of a large number of unrelated bacteria simultaneously plated onto a limited area of agar. The morphology of the mixed bacterial communities was similar for different

Characterisation of the bacterial community structures in the intestine of Lampetra morii
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2016The metagenomic analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing method were used to investigate the bacterial community in the intestines of Lampetra morii. The bacterial community structure in L. morii intestine was relatively simple. Eight different operational taxonomic units were observed. Chitinophagaceae_unclassified (26.5 %) and Aeromonas spp.

Assessing the Bacterial Community Structure in the Rhizoplane of Wetland Plants
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2018Plant-microorganism interaction in the rhizosphere is important for nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration in natural ecosystems, contaminant elimination and ecosystem functioning. Abundance of microbial communities and variation in species composition can be an imperative determinant of phytoremediation capability.

Bacterial Community Structures of Antarctic Soils
2014Antarctica’s ice-free environments span diverse habitats, ranging from well developed and nutrient rich soils in the coastal areas, to poorly developed and oligotrophic soils in the continent’s deserts and high elevation sites. Though most terrestrial environments in Antarctica are typified by harsh environmental conditions, many soils are home to ...

An experimental model for the spatial structuring and selection of bacterial communities
Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2011Community-level selection is an important concept in evolutionary biology and has been predicted to arise in systems that are spatially structured. Here we develop an experimental model for spatially-structured bacterial communities based on coaggregating strains and test their relative fitness under a defined selection pressure.

Bacterial Community Structure of Biofilms on Artificial Surfaces in an Estuary
Microbial Ecology, 2006This study examined bacterial community structure of biofilms on stainless steel and polycarbonate in seawater from the Delaware Bay. Free-living bacteria in the surrounding seawater were compared to the attached bacteria during the first few weeks of biofilm growth.
