Succession of soil microbial community in a developing mid-channel bar: The role of environmental disturbance and plant community

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Succession of microbial and plant communities is crucial for the development and the stability of soil ecological functions. The relative role of plant communities and environmental disturbance in shaping the microbial community in a newly established ...

Microbial Communities as Experimental Units [PDF]

open access: yesBioScience, 2011
Artificial ecosystem selection is an experimental technique that treats microbial communities as though they were discrete units by applying selection on community-level properties. Highly diverse microbial communities associated with humans and other organisms can have significant impacts on the health of the host. It is difficult to find correlations

Microbial community development in a dynamic gut model is reproducible, colon region specific, and selective for Bacteroidetes and Clostridium cluster IX

open access: yes, 2010
Dynamic, multicompartment in vitro gastrointestinal simulators are often used to monitor gut microbial dynamics and activity. These reactors need to harbor a microbial community that is stable upon inoculation, colon region specific, and relevant to in ...

Garden compost inoculum leads to microbial bioanodes with potential-independent characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Garden compost leachate was used to form microbial bioanodes under polarization at 0.4, 0.2 and +0.1 V/SCE. Current densities were 6.3 and 8.9 A m2 on average at 0.4 and +0.1 V/SCE respectively, with acetate 10 mM.

Deciphering Succession and Assembly Patterns of Microbial Communities in a Two-Stage Solid-State Fermentation System

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Although the importance of microbiota in the natural environment and in industrial production has been widely recognized, little is known about the formation and succession patterns of the microbial community, particularly secondary succession after ...

The impact of Zero-valent Iron Nanoparticles upon Soil Microbial Communities is Context Dependent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Purpose Nanosized zero valent iron (nZVI) is an effective land remediation tool, but there remains little information regarding its impact upon and interactions with the soil microbial community.

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils

open access: yes, 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 ...

Microbial communities in the phyllosphere and endosphere of Norway spruce under attack by Heterobasidion

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Heterobasidion annosum species complex has been regarded as the most destructive disease agent of conifer trees in boreal forests. Tree microbiome can regulate the plant–pathogen interactions by influencing both host resistance and pathogen virulence ...

On the complexity of haplotyping a microbial community [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 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 ...
