Long-term impact of tillage on microbial communities of an Eastern European Chernozem

Scientific Reports
As conservation agricultural practices continue to spread, there is a need to understand how reduced tillage impacts soil microbes. Effects of no till (NT) and disk till (DT) relative to moldboard plow (MP) were investigated in a long-term experiment ...

Linking soil biology and chemistry in biological soil crust using isolate exometabolomics

Nature Communications, 2018
Metagenomic sequencing provides a window into microbial community structure and metabolic potential. Here, Swenson et al. integrate metabolomics and shotgun sequencing to functionally link microbial community structure with environmental chemistry in ...

Impact of soil management on the functional activity of microbial communities associated to cork oak rhizosphere [PDF]

, 2007
The microbial ecology of cork oak rhizosphere was investigated using the Biolog community level physiological profile (CLPP) that provides a unique metabolic fingerprint helpful for the characterization of complex microbial communities.

Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

Microbial communities respond to experimental warming, but site matters [PDF]

, 2014
Because microorganisms are sensitive to temperature, ongoing global warming is predicted to influence microbial community structure and function. We used large-scale warming experiments established at two sites near the northern and southern boundaries ...

Agricultural management and plant selection interactively affect rhizosphere microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Rhizosphere microbial communities are key regulators of plant performance, yet few studies have assessed the impact of different management approaches on the rhizosphere microbiomes of major crops.

Microbial diversity in heavy-metal polluted waters [PDF]

, 2005
Indigenious water microflora as well as the presence of metal- and xenobiotic biotransforming bacteria were investigated in waters near the KCM Pb-Zn smelter, South Bulgaria.

Correlating Methane Production to Microbiota in Anaerobic Digesters Fed Synthetic Wastewater [PDF]

, 2017
A quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) between relative abundance values and digester methane production rate was developed. For this, 50 triplicate anaerobic digester sets (150 total digesters) were each seeded with different methanogenic

Microbial diversity in the thermal springs within Hot Springs National Park [PDF]

, 2018
The thermal water systems of Hot Springs National Park (HSNP) in Hot Springs, Arkansas exist in relative isolation from other North American thermal systems. The HSNP waters could therefore serve as a unique center of thermophilic microbial biodiversity.
