Reply to: Beyond microbial carbon use efficiency

, 2023
In their commentary, Xiao et al. cautioned that the conclusions on the critical role of microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) in global soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in a paper by Tao et al. (2023) might be too simplistic. They claimed that Tao et al.’s study lacked mechanistic consideration of SOC formation and excluded important datasets. Xiao et

Responses of soil heterotrophic respiration and microbial biomass to organic and conventional production systems

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2022
The effects of organic and conventional production systems on crop productivity have been greatly explored, but their effects on soil microbial processes were often neglected.

Application of electro-active biofilms [PDF]

, 2010
The concept of an electro-active biofilm (EAB) has recently emerged from a few studies that discovered that certain bacteria which form biofilms on conductive materials can achieve a direct electrochemical connection with the electrode surface using it ...

Carbon use efficiency of microbial communities: stoichiometry, methodology and modelling [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2013
AbstractCarbon use efficiency (CUE) is a fundamental parameter for ecological models based on the physiology of microorganisms. CUE determines energy and material flows to higher trophic levels, conversion of plant‐produced carbon into microbial products and rates of ecosystem carbon storage.

Environmental and stoichiometric controls on microbial carbon‐use efficiency in soils [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2012
Summary Carbon (C) metabolism is at the core of ecosystem function. Decomposers play a critical role in this metabolism as they drive soil C cycle by mineralizing organic matter to CO 2 . Their growth depends on the carbon‐use efficiency (CUE), defined as the ratio of growth

Organic amendments with high proportion of heterocyclic compounds promote soil microbiome shift and microbial use efficiency of straw-C

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Soil microbial use efficiency of straw carbon (C), which is the proportion of straw-C microbes assimilate into new biosynthetic material relative to C lost out of the system as CO2, is critical in increasing soil organic C (SOC) content, and hence ...
