Engineering difference: Matrix design determines community composition in wastewater treatment systems [PDF]

, 2012
There is a growing view that the application of ecological theory has the potential to facilitate a transition from a descriptive to a predictive framework in wastewater engineering.

Characterizing the effect of habitat structure on microbial community assembly and secondary metabolism for natural product discovery [PDF]

, 2021
Microorganisms exist in dynamic networks that catalyze reactions and respond to stimuli. They organize into populations that make up the microbial communities we know to drive large-scale biogeochemical cycles that can determine the fate of all organisms

Comparison of assembly process and co-occurrence pattern between planktonic and benthic microbial communities in the Bohai Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Unraveling the mechanisms structuring microbial community is a central goal in microbial ecology, but a detailed understanding of how community assembly processes relate to living habitats is still lacking. Here, via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we

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

, 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.

Differential distribution patterns and assembly processes of soil microbial communities under contrasting vegetation types at distinctive altitudes in the Changbai Mountain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Diversity patterns and community assembly of soil microorganisms are essential for understanding soil biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Investigating the impacts of environmental factors on microbial community assembly is crucial for comprehending ...

Feedstocks influence on the process parameters and the microbial community in anaerobic digestion [PDF]

, 2013
To improve our understanding into the key parameters controlling and regulating the microbial groups involved in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, particularly over multiple changes in operational conditions, triplicate lab-scale digesters fed with

Forest succession improves the complexity of soil microbial interaction and ecological stochasticity of community assembly: Evidence from Phoebe bournei-dominated forests in subtropical regions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Forest succession is a central ecological topic, due to the importance of the associated dynamic processes for terrestrial ecosystems. However, very little is currently known about the community assembly and interaction of soil microbial communities ...

Environmental stress mediates groundwater microbial community assembly [PDF]

Community assembly describes how different ecological processes shape microbial community composition and structure. How environmental factors impact community assembly remains elusive.

A novel framework unveiling the importance of heterogeneous selection and drift on the community structure of symbiotic microbial indicator taxa across altitudinal gradients in amphibians

Microbiology Spectrum
Existing analytical frameworks for community assembly have a noticeable knowledge gap, lacking a comprehensive assessment of the relative contributions of individual or grouped microbial distinct sampling units (DSUs) and distinct taxonomic units (DTUs ...
