Metagenomic tools in microbial ecology research [PDF]
Ability to directly sequence DNA from the environment permanently changed microbial ecology. Here, we review the new insights to microbial life gleaned from the applications of metagenomics, as well as the extensive set of analytical tools that ...

Microbial ecology of the atmosphere. [PDF]
AbstractThe atmosphere connects habitats across multiple spatial scales via airborne dispersal of microbial cells, propagules and biomolecules. Atmospheric microorganisms have been implicated in a variety of biochemical and biophysical transformations.

Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

The Community Simulator: A Python package for microbial ecology [PDF]
Natural microbial communities contain hundreds to thousands of interacting species. For this reason, computational simulations are playing an increasingly important role in microbial ecology. In this manuscript, we present a new open-source, freely available Python package called Community Simulator for simulating microbial population dynamics in a ...

Obesity alters gut microbial ecology
We have analyzed 5,088 bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the distal intestinal (cecal) microbiota of genetically obese ob/ob mice, lean ob/+ and wild-type siblings, and their ob/+ mothers, all fed the same polysaccharide-rich diet.

Microbial ecology of the arbuscular mycorrhiza [PDF]
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi interact with a wide variety of organisms during all stages of their life. Some of these interactions such as grazing of the external mycelium are detrimental, while others including interactions with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PG PR) promote mycorrhizal functioning.

Microfluidic approaches in microbial ecology.
Here we explore the use of microfluidic systems in microbial ecology, describing applications ranging from the investigation of single-cell behaviors to the imaging of complex three-dimensional biofilms.

Microbial ecology of biological invasions [PDF]
AbstractInvasive microbes, plants and animals are a major threat to the composition and functioning of ecosystems; however, the mechanistic basis of why exotic species can be so abundant and disruptive is not well understood. Most studies have focused on invasive plants and animals, although few have considered the effects of invasive microbes, or ...
