Bacterial diversity stabilizes community productivity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Stability is a crucial ecosystem feature gaining particular importance in face of increasing anthropogenic stressors. Biodiversity is considered to be a driving biotic force maintaining stability, and in this study we investigate how ...

Limited Transmission of Klebsiella pneumoniae among Humans, Animals, and the Environment in a Caribbean Island, Guadeloupe (French West Indies)

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Guadeloupe (French West Indies), a Caribbean island, is an ideal place to study the reservoirs of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) and identify the routes of transmission between human and nonhuman sources due to its insularity, small ...

Microbial interactions play an important role in regulating the effects of plant species on soil bacterial diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant species and microbial interactions have significant impacts on the diversity of bacterial communities. However, few studies have explored interactions among these factors, such the role of microbial interactions in regulating the effects of plant ...

Divergent drivers determine soil bacterial β-diversity of forest and grassland ecosystems in Northwest China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The determinants of bacterial β-diversity across the large scale have been well explored, yet little is known that about how the driving factors of bacterial β-diversity differ between the forest and grassland in northwest China. Here, we comprehensively

Associations of soil bacterial diversity and function with plant diversity in Carex tussock wetland

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Some species of Carex can form tussocks, which are usually distributed in valleys and flood plains. The soil microbial community diversity and function of micro–habitats formed by tussocks are associated with plant diversity, and research on these ...

Warming alters elevation distributions of soil bacterial and fungal communities in alpine grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
It is still unknown whether climate warming can change the elevation distribution of soil microbial communities in alpine grasslands. Both species and phylogenetic β-diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities were investigated at three alpine ...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Wildlife in Guadeloupe (French West Indies): Distribution of a Single blaCTX–M–1/IncI1/ST3 Plasmid Among Humans and Wild Animals

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Limited data are available on the contribution of wildlife to the spread of antibacterial resistance. We determined the prevalence of resistance to antibiotics in Escherichia coli isolates collected from wild animals in 2013 and 2014 and the genetic ...

Land-use intensity indirectly affects soil multifunctionality via a cascade effect of plant diversity on soil bacterial diversity

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Land-use intensification impairs multiple soil ecosystem functions and services (hereafter ‘soil multifunctionality’; SMF) crucial to human wellbeing by influencing plant diversity and soil microbial communities. However, available information is limited
