Plant Invasion Has Limited Impact on Soil Microbial α-Diversity: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Plant invasion has proven to be a significant driver of ecosystem change, and with the increased probability of invasion due to globalization, agricultural practices and other anthropogenic causes, it is crucial to understand its impact across multiple ...

Culture Collections as Hidden Sources of Microbial Biomolecules and Biodiversity [PDF]
The application of modern advanced techniques in molecular biology is revealing unexpectedly high levels of microbial diversity and complexity. However, the invisible loss of microbial diversity in the environment deriving, for example, from global ...

Microbial diversity and the “lower-limit” problem of biodiversity [PDF]
Science is now studying biodiversity on a massive scale. These studies are occurring not just at the scale of larger plants and animals, but also at the scale of minute entities such as bacteria and viruses. This expansion has led to the development of a

A comparison of rpoB and 16S rRNA as markers in pyrosequencing studies of bacterial diversity [PDF]
Background: The 16S rRNA gene is the gold standard in molecular surveys of bacterial and archaeal diversity, but it has the disadvantages that it is often multiple-copy, has little resolution below the species level and cannot be readily interpreted in ...

Microbial Colonization of Minerals in Marine Sediments – Method Development and Ecological Significance [PDF]
Interactions between microorganisms and minerals significantly impact microbial diversity and geochemical cycles in diverse settings. However, methodological difficulty has inhibited past study of microbe–mineral interactions in fine-grained subsurface ...

Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]
Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard
