Microbial Communities as Experimental Units [PDF]

BioScience, 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

Extensive microbial and functional diversity within the chicken cecal microbiome [PDF]

, 2014
Chickens are major source of food and protein worldwide. Feed conversion and the health of chickens relies on the largely unexplored complex microbial community that inhabits the chicken gut, including the ceca.

Effects of soil organic matter properties and microbial community composition on enzyme activities in cryoturbated arctic soils.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Enzyme-mediated decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is controlled, amongst other factors, by organic matter properties and by the microbial decomposer community present.

Linking pollution induced community tolerance (PICT) and microbial community structure in chronically metal polluted estuarine sediments [PDF]

, 2008
We tested the ability of pollution induced community tolerance (PICT) to detect the effects of chronic metal pollution on estuarine sediment microbial communities, along a gradient spanning two orders of magnitude in metal concentrations.

Anoxic Biodegradation of Isosaccharinic Acids at Alkaline pH by Natural Microbial Communities [PDF]

, 2015
One design concept for the long-term management of the UK’s intermediate level radioactive wastes (ILW) is disposal to a cementitious geological disposal facility (GDF).

Autogenic versus environmental control during development of river biofilm [PDF]

, 2009
In the natural environment, microbial community structure of river biofilm is controlled by biotic and abiotic factors. This study explored the capacity to manipulate the structure of microbial communities by modifying environmental conditions during the

A microbial community description of a heavy metal contaminated soil site [PDF]

, 2012
Tui mine area, with extremely low pH (2.9-3.3) values and high-metal concentrations, is one of the most contaminated sites in NZ. The structure of the microbial community in different soil layers (Top, Middle and Bottom) of the Tui mine tailing was ...

A culture-independent approach to unravel uncultured bacteria and functional genes in a complex microbial community [PDF]

, 2012
Most microorganisms in nature are uncultured with unknown functionality. Sequence-based metagenomics alone answers 'who/what are there?' but not 'what are they doing and who is doing it and how?'.
