Stabilizing microbial communities by looped mass transfer [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance The 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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 A seagrass meadow is one of the most important ecosystems around the world, both economically and ecologically. An important feature of this ecosystem is the presence of large coastal seagrass beds, which dominate the primary production and contribute to

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 ...

Parameterizing the microbial loop: an experiment in reducing model complexity [PDF]
, 2004 The structure of the plankton food web in the upper mixed layer has important implications for the export of biogenic material from the euphotic zone. While the action of the microbial loop causes material to be recycled near the surface, activity of the
