Drivers of Spatial Structure in Social Microbial Communities [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Microbes are social organisms, interacting primarily through secreted biomolecules. Many traits have evolved based solely on their effects upon other community members, yet even individually beneficial traits often create social side effects that are mediated by spatial population structure.

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

Genomic structure predicts metabolite dynamics in microbial communities [PDF]
Cell, 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.

Correlating microbial community profiles with geochemical data in highly stratified sediments from the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge [PDF]
, 2012 Microbial communities and their associated metabolic activity in marine sediments have a profound impact on global biogeochemical cycles. Their composition and structure are attributed to geochemical and physical factors, but finding direct correlations ...
