Global assembly of microbial communities
mSystems, 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]
Cell 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
Environment 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 ...

Coupling Bacterial Community Assembly to Microbial Metabolism across Soil Profiles
mSystems, 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 ...

Emergent simplicity in microbial community assembly [PDF]
Science, 2017 Interchanging species of similar function Under natural conditions, bacteria form mixed, interacting communities. Understanding how such communities assemble and stabilize is important in a range of contexts, from biotechnological applications to what happens in our guts. Goldford et al.

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

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

Hierarchical control of microbial community assembly [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractMetabolic processes that fuel the growth of heterotrophic microbial communities are initiated by specialized biopolymer degraders that decompose complex forms of organic matter. It is unclear, however, to what extent degraders control the downstream assembly of the community that follows polymer breakdown. Investigating a model marine microbial
