Stabilizing microbial communities by looped mass transfer [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
SignificanceThe population ecology of microbial communities is still poorly understood and their notorious instability makes them impossible to control. Much of the instability is caused by the stochastic assembly of microorganisms, especially in highly diverse microbiomes where structural and hence functional changes occur rapidly due to the short ...

How Do Quorum-Sensing Signals Mediate Algae–Bacteria Interactions?

Microorganisms, 2021
Quorum sensing (QS) describes a process by which bacteria can sense the local cell density of their own species, thus enabling them to coordinate gene expression and physiological processes on a community-wide scale.

The production of dissolved organic carbon by macroalgae and its consumption by marine bacteria: Implications for coastal ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Through the fixation of large quantities of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), macroalgae facilitate the energetic foundation of highly productive coastal ecosystems.

Bottom-Up Control of the Groundwater Microbial Food-Web in an Alpine Aquifer

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Groundwater ecosystems are typically poor in organic carbon and productivity sustaining a low standing stock of microbial biomass. In consequence, microbial food webs in oligotrophic groundwater are hypothesized to be bottom-up controlled.

Phosphorus Release and Regeneration Following Laboratory Lysis of Bacterial Cells

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The availability of phosphorus limits primary production in large regions of the oceans, and marine microbes use a variety of strategies to overcome this limitation.

Microbial Grazers May Aid in Controlling Infections Caused by the Aquatic Zoosporic Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Free-living eukaryotic microbes may reduce animal diseases. We evaluated the dynamics by which micrograzers (primarily protozoa) apply top-down control on the chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) a devastating, panzootic pathogen of amphibians ...

Drivers of plankton community structure in intermittent and continuous coastal upwelling systems–from microbes and microscale in-situ imaging to large scale patterns

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Eastern Boundary Systems support major fisheries whose early life stages depend on upwelling production. Upwelling can be highly variable at the regional scale, with substantial repercussions for new productivity and microbial loop activity. Studies that

Microbial loop of a Proterozoic ocean analogue [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Meromictic Lake Cadagno, an ancient ocean analogue, is known for its permanent stratification and persistent anoxygenic microbial bloom within the chemocline. Although the anaerobic microbial ecology of the lake has been extensively studied for at least 25 years, a comprehensive picture of the microbial food ...

Summertime Amino Acid and Carbohydrate Patterns in Particulate and Dissolved Organic Carbon Across Fram Strait

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Amino acids (AA) and carbohydrates (CHO) are important components of the marine organic carbon cycle. Produced mainly by phytoplankton as part of the particulate organic carbon (POC) fraction, these compounds can be released into the outer medium where ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Pelagic Mycoplanktonic Communities: Interplay of Taxon Abundance, Temporal Occurrence, and Biotic Interactions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Marine fungi are an important component of pelagic planktonic communities. However, it is not yet clear how individual fungal taxa are integrated in marine processes of the microbial loop and food webs.
