Abundant and Rare Microbial Communities Respectively Contribute to an Aquaculture Pond Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare microbial communities are crucial for diversity, function and host health in a given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their assembly strategies. Here,

From the Sunlit to the Aphotic Zone: Assembly Mechanisms and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Protistan-Bacterial Microbiotas in the Western Pacific Ocean

mSystems, 2023
We know little about the assembly processes and association patterns of microbial communities below the photic zone. In marine pelagic systems, there are insufficient observational data regarding why and how the microbial assemblies and associations vary

Dispersal Limitation Expands the Diversity of Coral Microbiome Metacommunity in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The coral microbiome is one of the most complex microbial biospheres. However, the ecological processes shaping coral microbiome community assembly are not well understood. Here, we investigated the abundance, diversity, and community assembly mechanisms

Functional Traits Resolve Mechanisms Governing the Assembly and Distribution of Nitrogen-Cycling Microbial Communities in the Global Ocean

mBio, 2022
Microorganisms drive much of the marine nitrogen (N) cycle, which jointly controls the primary production in the global ocean. However, our understanding of the microbial communities driving the global ocean N cycle remains fragmented.

Strong Dispersal Limitation of Microbial Communities at Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica

mSystems, 2023
Microbial communities can be structured by both deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relative importance of these processes remains unknown. The ambiguity partly arises from an inability to disentangle soil microbial processes from confounding

Disentangling the Mechanisms Shaping the Prokaryotic Communities in a Eutrophic Bay

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Eutrophication occurring in coastal bays is prominent in impacting local ecosystem structure and functioning. To understand how coastal bay ecosystem function responds to eutrophication, comprehending the ecological processes associated with microbial ...

A conceptual framework for the phylogenetically constrained assembly of microbial communities

Microbiome, 2019
Microbial communities play essential and preponderant roles in all ecosystems. Understanding the rules that govern microbial community assembly will have a major impact on our ability to manage microbial ecosystems, positively impacting, for instance ...

Prokaryotic Diversity in Mangrove Sediments across Southeastern China Fundamentally Differs from That in Other Biomes

mSystems, 2019
Mangroves, as a blue carbon reservoir, provide an environment for a variety of microorganisms. Mangroves lie in special locations connecting coastal and estuarine areas and experience fluctuating conditions, which are expected to intensify with climate ...

The Transition From Stochastic to Deterministic Bacterial Community Assembly During Permafrost Thaw Succession

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw. Changes to the environment during thaw leads to shifts in microbial communities and their associated functions, such as greenhouse ...
