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

, 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.

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

Microbiology 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 ...

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

, 2013
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

Is the thermodynamic efficiency of soil microbial communities related to ecosystem maturity and stress? [PDF]

, 2014
According to the second law of thermodynamics, no process can be 100% efficient and all processes must increase the total entropy of the system they occupy.

The assembly of microbial communities on red sandstone surfaces was shaped by dispersal limitation and heterogeneous selection

mSystems
Understanding the role of microbiota on stone surface is essential for developing effective grottoes conservation strategies. However, the ecological feature of microbial communities on stone surfaces has been rarely investigated systematically.

Evaluation of DESS as a storage medium for microbial community analysis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Microbial ecology research requires sampling strategies that accurately represent the microbial community under study. These communities must typically be transported from the collection location to the laboratory and then stored until they can be ...

Investigating the Physiological and Metabolic Requirements of the Tramway Ridge Microbial Community, Mt Erebus, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2012
Mount Erebus is the most active volcano on the Antarctic continent, and has the most geographically and physically isolated geothermal soil on Earth. It is exposed to some of the most extreme environmental conditions on the planet.

Plant chemical variation mediates soil bacterial community composition

Scientific Reports, 2023
An important challenge in the study of ecosystem function is resolving how plant antiherbivore chemical defence expression may influence plant-associated microbes, and nutrient release.
