Environmental stress mediates groundwater microbial community assembly [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Microbiology
Community assembly describes how different ecological processes shape microbial community composition and structure. How environmental factors impact community assembly remains elusive. Here we sampled microbial communities and >200 biogeochemical variables in groundwater at the Oak Ridge Field Research Center, a former nuclear waste disposal site, and

Microbial Astronauts: Assembling Microbial Communities for Advanced Life Support Systems

Microbial Ecology, 2004
Extension of human habitation into space requires that humans carry with them many of the microorganisms with which they coexist on Earth. The ubiquity of microorganisms in close association with all living things and biogeochemical processes on Earth predicates that they must also play a critical role in maintaining the viability of human life in ...

Microbial niches in raw ingredients determine microbial community assembly during kimchi fermentation

Food Chemistry, 2020
Fermented foods constitute hubs of microbial consortia differentially affecting nutritional and organoleptic properties, quality, and safety. Here we show the origin source of fermentative microbes and fermentation dynamics of kimchi. We partitioned microbiota by raw ingredient (kimchi cabbage, garlic, ginger, and red pepper) to render kimchi fermented

Microbial community assembly in engineered bioreactors

Water Research
Microbial community assembly (MCA) processes that shape microbial communities in environments are being used to analyze engineered bioreactors such as activated sludge systems and anaerobic digesters. The goal of studying MCA is to be able to understand and predict the effect of design and operation procedures on bioreactor microbial composition and ...

Stochastic and Deterministic Assembly Processes in Seamount Microbial Communities

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023
Although there are approximately 25 million seamounts in the ocean, surprisingly little is known about seamount microbial ecology. We provide evidence that seamounts are island-like habitats harboring microbial communities distinct from those of nonseamount habitats, and they exhibit a distance-decay pattern.

Connecting microbial community assembly and function

Current Opinion in Microbiology
Microbial ecology is moving away from purely descriptive analyses to experiments that can determine the underlying mechanisms driving changes in community assembly and function. More species-rich microbial communities generally have higher functional capabilities depending on if there is positive selection of certain species or complementarity among ...

Microbial communities assembly in wastewater treatment plants in China

Science of The Total Environment
Community assembly processes determine community structure. Deterministic processes are essential for optimizing activated sludge (AS) bioreactor performance. However, the debate regarding the relative importance of determinism versus stochasticity remains contentious, and the influencing factors are indistinct.

Synthetic microbial community enhances lignocellulose degradation during composting by assembling fungal communities

Bioresource Technology
Inoculating synthetic microbial community (SynCom) has been proposed as an eco-friendly approach for lignocellulose degradation in composting to enhance organic fertilizer quality. However, the mechanisms responsible for SynCom-regulated lignocellulose degradation during composting remain unclear.
