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

open access: yesmBio, 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 ...

Deterministic selection dominates microbial community assembly in termite mounds

open access: yes, 2021
Termite mounds are an important habitat for an enormous diversity of microorganisms. However, the microbial community assembly processes in termite mounds remain unresolved, which impeded our ability to predict the biological functions of these mound ...

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

Microbial community assembly responses to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination across water and sediment habitats in the Pearl River Estuary.

open access: yesJournal of Hazardous Materials, 2023
Along with rapid urbanization and intensive human activities, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) and its effects on the microbial community have attracted extensive attention.

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

open access: yesEnvironment 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

Seeing the forest for the genes: using metagenomics to infer the aggregated traits of microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Most environments harbor large numbers of microbial taxa with ecologies that remain poorly described and characterizing the functional capabilities of whole communities remains a key challenge in microbial ecology.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
