Seeing the forest for the genes: using metagenomics to infer the aggregated traits of microbial communities [PDF]

, 2014
Most environments harbor large numbers of microbial taxa with ecologies that remain poorly described and characterizing the functional capabilities of whole communities remains a key challenge in microbial ecology.

Salt Marsh Elevation Drives Root Microbial Composition of the Native Invasive Grass Elytrigia atherica

Microorganisms, 2020
Elytrigia atherica is a native invasive plant species whose expansion on salt marshes is attributed to genotypic and phenotypic adaptations to non-ideal environmental conditions, forming two ecotypes. It is unknown how E. atherica–microbiome interactions

Activated Sludge Microbial Community Assembly: The Role of Influent Microbial Community Immigration

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023
Abstract Wastewater 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.

Groundtruthing next-gen sequencing for microbial ecology-biases and errors in community structure estimates from PCR amplicon pyrosequencing [PDF]

, 2012
Analysis of microbial communities by high-throughput pyrosequencing of SSU rRNA gene PCR amplicons has transformed microbial ecology research and led to the observation that many communities contain a diverse assortment of rare taxa-a phenomenon termed ...

Comparative analysis of pyrosequencing and a phylogenetic microarray for exploring microbial community structures in the human distal intestine [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Variations in the composition of the human intestinal microbiota are linked to diverse health conditions. High-throughput molecular technologies have recently elucidated microbial community structure at much higher resolution than was ...

Increasing acid rain frequency promotes the microbial community dissimilarities of forest soil rather than agricultural soil in southern China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Soil microbial community drives the terrestrial carbon (C) cycling by C sources metabolism (i.e., organic C decomposition), however, the microbial response to changing acid rain frequency remains less studied, thus hampering global warming projection ...

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

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,
