Microbial Communication Superhighways [PDF]
Cell, 2011 Exchange of information is critical for bacterial social behaviors. Now Dubey and Ben-Yehuda (2011) provide evidence for bacterial "nanotube" conduits that allow microbes to directly exchange cytoplasmic factors. Protein and DNA transfer between distantly related species raises the prospect of a new, widely distributed mechanism of bacterial ...

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem
mSystems, 2019 Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...

Spatiotemporal variations of microbial assembly, interaction, and potential risk in urban dust
Environment International, 2022 Community and composition of dust-borne microbes would affect human health and are regulated by microbial community assembly. The dust in kindergarten is always collected to evaluate the microbial exposure of children, yet the microbial assembly, their ...

Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Decomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant species may alter the decomposition rate, but its effect on the microbial decomposer community in plant ...

Activated Sludge Microbial Community Assembly: The Role of Influent Microbial Community Immigration
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023 AbstractWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are host to diverse microbial communities and receive a constant influx of microbes from influent wastewater, however the impact of immigrants on the structure and activities of the activated sludge (AS) microbial community remains unclear.

Abundant and Rare Microbial Communities Respectively Contribute to an Aquaculture Pond Ecosystem
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare microbial communities are crucial for diversity, function and host health in a given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their assembly strategies. Here,

Recent Advances in Understanding the Composition and Functions of Microbial Community in the Fermentation of Baijiu Daqu [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 The fermentation process of traditional Baijiu Daqu involves extremely complex changes in microbial communities, and the microbial communities work collaboratively to determine the quality of Daqu.
