Bacterial and Archaeal Water and Sediment Communities of Two Hot Spring Streams in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, China

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
In Tengchong County, springs with wide physicochemical diversity provide a multitude of niches for extremophilic microorganisms. In this study, eight middle-low temperature spring sites along two continuous small streams with low water flow and slow ...

Global Composition of the Bacteriophage Community in Honey Bees [PDF]

open access: yesmSystems, 2021
Viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages) are abundant in the microbial communities that live on and in plants and animals. However, our knowledge of the structure, dynamics, and function of these viral communities lags far behind our knowledge of their bacterial hosts.

Spatial Diversity in Bacterial Communities across Barren and Vegetated, Native and Invasive, Coastal Dune Microhabitats

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The microbial community composition of coastal dunes can vary across environmental gradients, with the potential to impact erosion and deposition processes.

The community ecology of pathogens: coinfection, coexistence and community composition [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2015
AbstractDisease and community ecology share conceptual and theoretical lineages, and there has been a resurgence of interest in strengthening links between these fields. Building on recent syntheses focused on the effects of host community composition on single pathogen systems, we examine pathogen (microparasite) communities using a stochastic ...

Cybergenetic control of microbial community composition

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
The use of bacterial communities in bioproduction instead of monocultures has potential advantages including increased productivity through division of labour, ability to utilise cheaper substrates, and robustness against perturbations. A key challenge in the application of engineered bacterial communities is the ability to reliably control the ...

Simultaneous effect of habitat remnancy, exotic species, and anthropogenic disturbance on orchid diversity in South Australia

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Orchids are potentially useful as ecological indicators because of their sensitivity to habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic disturbance. While many studies explore the effect of single factors on orchid diversity, few investigate how the extent ...

High Variation in Protist Diversity and Community Composition in Surface Sediment of Hot Springs in Himalayan Geothermal Belt, China

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Hot springs are some of the most special environments on Earth. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes have been found to live in this environment. The Himalayan geothermal belt (HGB) has numerous hot springs spread across the area.

Impact of Transgenic Cry1Ab/2Aj Maize on Abundance of Non-Target Arthropods in the Field

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) maize has broad prospects for application in China. Before commercialization, it is necessary to assess possible ecological impacts, including impacts on non-target arthropods (NTAs) in the field.

The Impact of Warming on Assembly Processes and Diversity Patterns of Bacterial Communities in Mesocosms

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Bacteria in lake water bodies and sediments play crucial roles in various biogeochemical processes. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of bacterioplankton and sedimentary bacteria community composition and assembly processes across ...
