Modular Assembly of Polysaccharide-Degrading Marine Microbial Communities [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Understanding the principles that govern the assembly of microbial communities across earth's biomes is a major challenge in modern microbial ecology. This pursuit is complicated by the difficulties of mapping functional roles and interactions onto communities with immense taxonomic diversity and of identifying the scale at which microbes interact [1].

Chronic Environmental Perturbation Influences Microbial Community Assembly Patterns
Environmental Science & Technology, 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.

mSystems, 2020 The ecological drivers that concurrently act upon both a virus and its host and that drive community assembly are poorly understood despite known interactions between viral populations and their microbial hosts. Hydraulically fractured shale environments

Microbial community assembly in marine sediments [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2017 Marine sediments are densely populated by diverse communities of archaea and bacteria, with intact cells detected kilometers below the seafloor. Analyses of microbial diversity in these unique environments have identified several dominant taxa that comprise a significant portion of the community in geographically and environmentally disparate locations.

Metabolic rules of microbial community assembly [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractTo develop a quantitative theory that can predict how microbiomes assemble, and how they respond to perturbations, we must identify which descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are unpredictable, and why.

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem
mSystems, 2019 Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...

Microbial community composition, and not pH, influences lake sediment function
Ecosphere, 2022 Lake sediment microbial communities vary across ecosystems and are often differentiated across pH. Additionally, these pH‐mediated differences in community composition are often correlated with changes in sediment functioning, such as methane and carbon ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Microbial communities in incipient soil systems serve as the only biotic force shaping landscape evolution. However, the underlying ecological forces shaping microbial community structure and function are inadequately understood.

Stochastic microbial community assembly decreases biogeochemical function [PDF]
Processes, 2017 AbstractEcological mechanisms influence relationships among microbial communities, which in turn impact biogeochemistry. In particular, microbial communities are assembled by deterministic (e.g., selection) and stochastic (e.g., dispersal) processes, and the relative influence of these two process types is hypothesized to alter the influence of ...
