Enteropathogen survival in soil from different land-uses is predominantly regulated by microbial community composition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
peer-reviewedMicrobial enteropathogens can enter the environment via landspreading of animal slurries and manures. Biotic interactions with the soil microbial community can contribute to their subsequent decay.

Impacts of chemical gradients on microbial community structure [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2017
Abstract Succession of redox processes is sometimes assumed to define a basic microbial community structure for ecosystems with oxygen gradients. In this paradigm, aerobic respiration, denitrification, fermentation and sulfate reduction proceed in a thermodynamically determined order, known as the ‘redox tower’.

Characteristics of Microbial Community Structure at the Seafloor Surface of the Nankai Trough

open access: yesJournal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
Phylogenetic analysis of bacteria and archaea on the seafloor surface of the Nankai Trough was conducted. DNA was extracted from a total of 14 samples (2 samples from 1 methane seep area and 12 samples from 12 general seafloor areas) and analyzed ...

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...

Genomic structure predicts metabolite dynamics in microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2020
SummaryThe metabolic function of microbial communities has played a defining role in the evolution and persistence of life on Earth, driving redox reactions that form the basis of global biogeochemical cycles. Community metabolism emerges from a hierarchy of processes including gene expression, ecological interactions, and environmental factors.

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 ...

Drivers of plankton community structure in intermittent and continuous coastal upwelling systems–from microbes and microscale in-situ imaging to large scale patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Eastern Boundary Systems support major fisheries whose early life stages depend on upwelling production. Upwelling can be highly variable at the regional scale, with substantial repercussions for new productivity and microbial loop activity. Studies that

The Community Simulator: A Python package for microbial ecology

open access: yes, 2020
Natural microbial communities contain hundreds to thousands of interacting species. For this reason, computational simulations are playing an increasingly important role in microbial ecology.

Environmental drivers of differences in microbial community structure in crude oil reservoirs across a methanogenic gradient

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Stimulating in situ microbial communities in oil reservoirs to produce natural gas is a potentially viable strategy for recovering additional fossil fuel resources following traditional recovery operations.

Microbial taxonomical composition in spruce phyllosphere, but not community functional structure, varies by geographical location [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Previous studies indicate that the plant phenotypic traits eventually shape its microbiota due to the community assembly based on the functional types.
