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 ...

Contrasting Community Assembly Forces Drive Microbial Structural and Potential Functional Responses to Precipitation in an Incipient Soil System

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.

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

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 ...

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Environmental shaping of codon usage and functional adaptation across microbial communities. [PDF]

, 2013
Microbial communities represent the largest portion of the Earth's biomass. Metagenomics projects use high-throughput sequencing to survey these communities and shed light on genetic capabilities that enable microbes to inhabit every corner of the ...

Trophic Interactions and the Drivers of Microbial Community Assembly

, 2023
© 2020 The Authors Despite numerous surveys of gene and species content in heterotrophic microbial communities, such as those found in animal guts, oceans, or soils, it is still unclear whether there are generalizable biological or ecological processes ...
