Seasonal modulation of mesoscale processes alters nutrient availability and plankton communities in the Red Sea [PDF]
Hydrographic and atmospheric forcing set fundamental constraints on the biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems and manifest in the patterns of nutrient availability and recycling, species composition of communities, trophic dynamics, and ecosystem ...

Abstract The stoichiometric imbalance caused by nitrogen (N) deposition typically exacerbates phosphorus (P) limitation in plants. However, it remains unclear whether this effect extends to soil microbes, particularly those in the rhizosphere.

Characterization of dysgonic, heterotrophic bacteria from drinking water [PDF]
Only a small percentage of the heterotrophic bacteria encountered in water distribution systems are identifiable, because of these organisms fail to grow on the conventional media used for biochemical characterization. Organisms that would not subculture from the same standard plate count agar used for initial isolation were successfully subcultured on

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]
Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.

Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification by novel isolated bacteria
Three novel strains capable of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification were isolated from the landfill leachate treatment system. Based on their phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the isolates were identified as Agrobacterium sp. LAD9, Achromobacter sp. GAD3 and Comamonas sp. GAD4, respectively.
