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 ...

The diversity of a distributed genome in bacterial populations
The Annals of Applied Probability, 2010 The distributed genome hypothesis states that the set of genes in a population of bacteria is distributed over all individuals that belong to the specific taxon. It implies that certain genes can be gained and lost from generation to generation.

Bacterial Actins and Their Diversity [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2013 For many years, bacteria were considered rather simple organisms, but the dogmatic notion that subcellular organization is a eukaryotic trait has been overthrown for more than a decade. The discovery of homologues of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins actin, tubulin, and intermediate filaments in bacteria has been instrumental in changing this view ...

A catalog of the diversity and ubiquity of bacterial microcompartments [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractBacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are organelles that segregate segments of metabolic pathways which are incompatible with surrounding metabolism. BMCs consist of a selectively permeable shell, composed of three types of structurally conserved proteins, together with sequestered enzymes that vary among functionally distinct BMCs.

BacDive—the Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2013 BacDive-the Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase (http://bacdive.dsmz.de) merges detailed strain-linked information on the different aspects of bacterial and archaeal biodiversity. Currently (release 9/2013), BacDive contains entries for 23 458 strains and provides information on their taxonomy, morphology, physiology, sampling and concomitant ...

Effects of precipitation changes on soil bacterial community composition and diversity in the Junggar desert of Xinjiang, China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Variation in precipitation can markedly affect the structure and function of soil microbial communities, especially in arid areas which are limited by water resources.

Soil bacterial diversity mediated by microscale aqueous-phase processes across biomes
Nature Communications, 2020 Soil bacterial diversity varies across biomes with potential impacts on soil ecological functioning. Here, we incorporate key factors that affect soil bacterial abundance and diversity across spatial scales into a mechanistic modeling framework ...
