Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2014 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

Microbial diversity and the genetic nature of microbial species [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 The earth contains a huge number of largely uncharacterized Bacteria and Archaea. Microbiologists are struggling to summarize their genetic diversity and classify them, which has resulted in heated debates on methods for defining species, mechanisms that lead to speciation and whether microbial species even exist. This Review proposes that decisions on

Salinity Gradient Controls Microbial Community Structure and Assembly in Coastal Solar Salterns
, 2022 Salinity acts as a critical environmental filter on microbial communities in natural systems, negatively affecting microbial diversity. However, how salinity affects microbial community assembly remains unclear. This study used Wendeng multi-pond saltern

Using Cartesian Doubt To Build a Sequencing-Based View of Microbiology
mSystems, 2021 The technological leap of DNA sequencing generated a tension between modern metagenomics and historical microbiology. We are forcibly harmonizing the output of a modern tool with centuries of experimental knowledge derived from culture-based microbiology.

The Devil Is in the Microbial Genetic Details [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2019 The work of Zeevi et al. (2019) in a recent issue of Nature shows that variations in gene content and organization between different strains of the same microbial species are widespread in the human gut microbiota and could be linked to many measures of health.
