Anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacterial communities in sediments of a drinking reservoir, Beijing, China

open access: yesAnnals of Microbiology, 2020
Purpose Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) connects the global cycle of carbon and nitrogen in aquatic ecosystems. The aims of this study were to investigate the spatiotemporal variation of N-DAMO bacteria and its driving ...

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer

open access: yes, 2014
The genome of bacterial species is much more flexible than that of eukaryotes. Moreover, the distributed genome hypothesis for bacteria states that the total number of genes present in a bacterial population is greater than the genome of every single ...

Extensive horizontal gene transfer in cheese-associated bacteria. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Acquisition of genes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) allows microbes to rapidly gain new capabilities and adapt to new or changing environments.

Structure and Function of Soil Bacterial Communities in the Different Wetland Types of the Liaohe Estuary Wetland

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Soil bacterial communities play a crucial role in the functioning of estuarine wetlands. Investigating the structure and function of these communities across various wetland types, along with the key factors influencing them, is essential for ...

Diversity of Bacterial Biosynthetic Genes in Maritime Antarctica

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Bacterial natural products (NPs) are still a major source of new drug leads. Polyketides (PKs) and non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) are two pharmaceutically important families of NPs and recent studies have revealed Antarctica to harbor endemic polyketide ...

Phage Resistance Reduced the Pathogenicity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae on Rice

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Plants grow together with microbes that have both negative and positive impacts on the host, while prokaryotes are in turn also hosts for viruses, co-evolving together in a complex interrelationship.

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Agro-ecosystems experience huge losses of land every year due to soil erosion induced by poor agricultural practices such as intensive tillage. Erosion can be minimized by the presence of stable soil aggregates, the formation of which can be promoted by ...

Global Transcriptomic Profiling of Bovine Endometrial Immune Response In Vitro. I. Effect of Lipopolysaccharide on Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The dysregulation of endometrial immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been implicated in uterine disease and infertility in the postpartum dairy cow, although the mechanisms are not clear.

Bacterial community and arsenic functional genes diversity in arsenic contaminated soils from different geographic locations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
To understand how soil microbial communities and arsenic (As) functional genes respond to soil arsenic (As) contamination, five soils contaminated with As at different levels were collected from diverse geographic locations, incubated for 54 days under ...
