Global assembly of microbial communities

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
Different habitats harbor different microbial communities with elusive assembly mechanisms. This study comprehensively investigated the global assembly mechanisms of microbial communities and effects of community-internal influencing factors using the ...

Functional attractors in microbial community assembly. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Syst, 2022
For microbiome biology to become a more predictive science, we must identify which descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are not, and why. We address this question by experimentally studying parallelism and convergence in microbial community assembly in replicate glucose-limited habitats.

Spatiotemporal variations of microbial assembly, interaction, and potential risk in urban dust

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Community and composition of dust-borne microbes would affect human health and are regulated by microbial community assembly. The dust in kindergarten is always collected to evaluate the microbial exposure of children, yet the microbial assembly, their ...

Resource competition can explain simplicity in microbial community assembly. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
AbstractPredicting the composition and diversity of communities is a central goal in ecology. While community assembly is considered hard to predict, laboratory microcosms often follow a simple assembly rule based on the outcome of pairwise competitions.

Chronic Environmental Perturbation Influences Microbial Community Assembly Patterns. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Sci Technol, 2022
Acute environmental perturbations are reported to induce deterministic microbial community assembly, while it is hypothesized that chronic perturbations promote development of alternative stable states. Such acute or chronic perturbations strongly impact on the pre-adaptation capacity to the perturbation.

Activated sludge microbial community assembly: the role of influent microbial community immigration. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Environ Microbiol, 2023
AbstractWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are host to diverse microbial communities and receive a constant influx of microbes from influent wastewater, however the impact of immigrants on the structure and activities of the activated sludge (AS) microbial community remains unclear.

Coupling Bacterial Community Assembly to Microbial Metabolism across Soil Profiles

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Soil microbial community assembly is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of microbial communities that regulate ecosystem-level functioning. The relative contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes to microbial community assembly remain ...

Biotic interactions contribute more than environmental factors and geographic distance to biogeographic patterns of soil prokaryotic and fungal communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Recent studies have shown distinct soil microbial assembly patterns across taxonomic types, habitat types and regions, but little is known about which factors play a dominant role in soil microbial communities.

Community structure follows simple assembly rules in microbial microcosms [PDF]

open access: goldNature Ecology & Evolution, 2016
IntroductionMicrobes typically form diverse communities of interacting species, whose activities have tremendous impact on the plants, animals, and humans they associate with1–3, as well as on the biogeochemistry of the entire planet4. The ability to predict the structure of these complex communities is crucial to understanding, managing, and utilizing
