Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]
, 2015 During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...

Environmental shaping of codon usage and functional adaptation across microbial communities. [PDF]
, 2013 Microbial communities represent the largest portion of the Earth's biomass. Metagenomics projects use high-throughput sequencing to survey these communities and shed light on genetic capabilities that enable microbes to inhabit every corner of the ...

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.

On the complexity of haplotyping a microbial community [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2020 Abstract Motivation Population-level genetic variation enables competitiveness and niche specialization in microbial communities. Despite the difficulty in culturing many microbes from an environment, we can still study these communities by isolating and sequencing DNA directly from an ...
