Phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities vary with host species identity, plant traits and seasonality in a subtropical forest

Environmental Microbiome, 2022
Background Phyllosphere microbes play important roles in host plant performance and fitness. Recent studies have suggested that tropical and temperate forests harbor diverse phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities and their assembly is driven by ...

Local environment, surface characteristics and stochastic processes shape the dynamics of urban dustbin surface microbiome

Environment International, 2023
Dustbins function as critical infrastructures for urban sanitation, creating a distinct breeding ground for microbial assemblages. However, there is no information regarding the dynamics of microbial communities and the underlying mechanism for community

Species-level functional profiling of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes. [PDF]

, 2018
Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming, prone to spurious mapping, and often limited to community-level quantification ...

Ecological landscapes guide the assembly of optimal microbial communities [PDF]

PLOS Computational Biology, 2021
AbstractAssembling optimal microbial communities is key for various applications in biofuel production, agriculture, and human health. Finding the optimal community is challenging because the number of possible communities grows exponentially with the number of species, and so an exhaustive search cannot be performed even for a dozen species.

Metabolic specialization and the assembly of microbial communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract Metabolic specialization is a general biological principle that shapes the assembly of microbial communities. Individual cell types rarely metabolize a wide range of substrates within their environment. Instead, different cell types often specialize at metabolizing only subsets of the available substrates.

Stochastic Assembly Leads to Alternative Communities with Distinct Functions in a Bioreactor Microbial Community

mBio, 2013
The processes and mechanisms of community assembly and its relationships to community functioning are central issues in ecology. Both deterministic and stochastic factors play important roles in shaping community composition and structure, but the ...

Soil microbial community assembly precedes vegetation development after drastic techniques to mitigate effects of nitrogen deposition [PDF]

, 2016
Oligotrophic semi-natural systems are threatened by high levels of nitrogen deposition. To mitigate these effects, drastic techniques such as sod-cutting and topsoil removal are applied to reduce nitrogen loads in existing systems and expand their area ...

Community Assembly Processes of the Microbial Rare Biosphere [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
Our planet teems with microorganisms that often present a skewed abundance distribution in a local community, with relatively few dominant species coexisting alongside a high number of rare species. Recent studies have demonstrated that these rare taxa serve as limitless reservoirs of genetic diversity, and perform disproportionate types of functions ...

Estimating and mapping ecological processes influencing microbial community assembly [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Ecological community assembly is governed by a combination of (i) selection resulting from among-taxa differences in performance; (ii) dispersal resulting from organismal movement; and (iii) ecological drift resulting from stochastic changes in population sizes.
