Microbial dormancy as an ecological and biogeochemical regulator on Earth [PDF]

Nature Communications
Virtually all of Earth’s ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles are underpinned – and often driven – by the activity (or inactivity) of microorganisms. Dormancy, a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity, is ubiquitous among microbial communities in

Rhizosphere Soil Microbial Survival States and N-Related Process during Riparian Plant Dormancy: Influences of Plant Locations and Plant Species

Diversity, 2022
The plant dormancy period in the riparian zone affects the activity of microorganisms and their related nitrogen (N) process, which necessitates an investigation of the influence of the dormancy period on the microbial community.

Controlled temperature-induced dormancy leads to predictable microbial recovery in the temperate coral microbiome [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionDormancy is a common response to harsh conditions across the tree of life. Increasingly, the animal microbiome is suggested to mediate dormancy, including onset, maintenance and exit or recovery periods.

Dormancy and reactivation of the seed and its microbiome: a holobiont perspective [PDF]

mSystems
Desiccation-tolerant seeds provide an intriguing system for studying microbial dormancy, which includes reversible inactivation and reactivation in response to stress.

Seasonal thawing of high Arctic soils triggers selective microbial growth and predation [PDF]

mSystems
Climate warming threatens Arctic permafrost with seasonal cycles of freezing and thawing. Arctic soil microorganisms regulate carbon stocks and greenhouse gas exchanges with the atmosphere, yet their precise seasonal growth and dormancy dynamics, and ...

Dry versus wet dormancy: suspended lives of Bacillus subtilis versus Saccharomyces cerevisiae spores [PDF]

mSystems
Dormant microbial spores provide one of the clearest and most extreme examples of how cells can pause life for extended periods and then reliably restart it. Although bacterial and fungal spores are often grouped under “dormancy,” the physical strategies

SIESTA Project: Svalbard summer 2025 expedition report [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Open Research Europe
Microbial dormancy plays an important role in the persistence, dispersal, and functioning of microbial communities in moderate to extreme environments. The activity or inactivity of microbial communities also has implications for rates of biogeochemical ...

Transcriptional and metabolic stasis define desiccation-induced dormancy in the soil bacterium Arthrobacter sp. AZCC_0090 until water vapor initiates resuscitation [PDF]

mSystems
Microbes inhabiting soils experience periodic water deprivation. The effects of desiccation on DNA, protein, and membrane integrity are well-described. However, the effects of drying and rehydration on the composition of cellular RNA and metabolites are ...

Multi-omics reveals the involvement of endophytes in the growth of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shoots [PDF]

Communications Biology
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) exhibits extraordinary speed of growth. While its anatomical and hormonal features have been well studied, the contribution of microbial interactions to its rapid growth remains largely unknown.
