Microbial interactions in building of communities [PDF]

Molecular Oral Microbiology, 2012
SummaryEstablishment of a community is considered to be essential for microbial growth and survival in the human oral cavity. Biofilm communities have increased resilience to physical forces, antimicrobial agents and nutritional variations. Specific cell‐to‐cell adherence processes, mediated by adhesin‐receptor pairings on respective microbial surfaces,

Synthetic Microbial Communities Enhance Pepper Growth and Root Morphology by Regulating Rhizosphere Microbial Communities

Microorganisms
Synthetic microbial community (SynCom) application is efficient in promoting crop yield and soil health. However, few studies have been conducted to enhance pepper growth via modulating rhizosphere microbial communities by SynCom application.

Microbes as engines of ecosystem function: when does community structure enhance predictions of ecosystem processes?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microorganisms are vital in mediating the earth’s biogeochemical cycles; yet, despite our rapidly increasing ability to explore complex environmental microbial communities, the relationship between microbial community structure and ecosystem processes ...

Identification of Carbohydrate Metabolism Genes in the Metagenome of a Marine Biofilm Community Shown to Be Dominated by Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes [PDF]

, 2010
Polysaccharides are an important source of organic carbon in the marine environment and degradation of the insoluble and globally abundant cellulose is a major component of the marine carbon cycle.

Microecological insight into the microbial structure, key cellulolytic community, and microbial interaction during cellulose degradation in high-diversity and low-diversity communities

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Inadequate management of lignocellulosic waste poses a risk of substantial environmental pollution. Enriched microbial communities selected from environmental samples can effectively contribute to lignocellulose degradation.

A coexistence theory in microbial communities [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Microbes are widespread in natural ecosystems where they create complex communities. Understanding the functions and dynamics of such microbial communities is a very important theme not only for ecology but also for humankind because microbes can play major roles in our health. Yet, it remains unclear how such complex ecosystems are maintained.

A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Priority effects largely determine the consequences of soil microbial community coalescence

Geoderma
Priority effects play critical roles in microbial community assembly but remain underexplored in soil systems. Here, we investigated their influence on soil microbial community coalescence via microcosm experiments based on soils collected from six sites
