Soil fungal and bacterial communities reflect differently tundra vegetation state transitions and soil physico‐chemical properties

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 1, Page 407-422, July 2024.
Summary Strong disturbances may induce ecosystem transitions into new alternative states that sustain through plant–soil interactions, such as the transition of dwarf shrub‐dominated into graminoid‐dominated vegetation by herbivory in tundra. Little evidence exists on soil microbial communities in alternative states, and along the slow process of ...

Unearthing the soil‐borne microbiome of land plants

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 5, May 2024.
We studied the soil organisms consistently associated with land plants (vascular plants and mosses) across contrasting climates, soils, and vegetation types. We found a small subset of bacteria, fungi, and protists that defined the consistent soil‐borne microbiome of land plants and determined their importance for the functioning of plant‐associated ...

Glycerate kinase of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermoproteus tenax: new insights into the phylogenetic distribution and physiological role of members of the three different glycerate kinase classes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background The presence of the branched Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway in two hyperthermophilic Crenarchaea, the anaerobe Thermoproteus tenax and the aerobe Sulfolobus solfataricus, was suggested.

Metabarcoding reveals unique microbial mat communities and evidence of biogeographic influence in low‐oxygen, high‐sulfur sinkholes and springs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Groundwater‐fed underwater sinkholes and springs create habitats with high‐sulfur, low‐oxygen conditions. Multi‐marker metabarcoding was used to describe microbial mat communities in these extreme aquatic habitats. Unique bacterial and diatom communities were found in five springs in Michigan and Florida, with water parameters and biogeography ...

Assessing Microbial Diversity in Páramo Soils (Multistrategy Analysis): Effects of Potato Farming and Livestock Grazing in Nevados National Natural Park, Colombia

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
High Andean Páramos are very fragile neotropical ecosystems. Moreover, biodiversity in these areas is threatened by the anthropic activities of agriculture, cattle raising, and mining and has been little studied. Changes associated with potato farming and livestock grazing on microorganisms of Páramo soil of the Nevados National Natural Park (Nevados ...

Combined use of 16S ribosomal DNA and 16S rRNA to study the bacterial community of polychlorinated biphenyl-polluted soil

open access: yes, 2001
The bacterial diversity assessed from clone libraries prepared from rRNA (two libraries) and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (one library) from polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-polluted soil has been analyzed.

Luca : à la recherche du plus proche ancêtre commun universel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
L’application des méthodes de la biologie moléculaire à l’étude des premières étapes de l’évolution a montré que le monde vivant pouvait être divisé en trois domaines : archées, bactéries et eucaryotes.

Effects of Different Carbon Sources on Water Quality, Physiology, Growth, and Intestinal Microbiota in Cultured Sea Cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) With Biofloc Technology

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The biofloc technology (BFT) in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) farming utilizes nutrient cycling, driven by heterotrophic microorganisms, to improve water quality and promote sustainable aquaculture. This study explored the potential of sodium bicarbonate and sodium acetate as novel carbon sources, which may offer advantages in maintaining water

Parallel changes in gut microbiome composition and function in parallel local adaptation and speciation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The processes of local adaptation and ecological speciation are often strongly shaped by biotic interactions such as competition and predation. One of the strongest lines of evidence that biotic interactions drive evolution comes from repeated divergence

Metagenome of the gut of a malnourished child [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Malnutrition, a major health problem, affects a significant proportion of preschool children in developing countries. The devastating consequences of malnutrition include diarrhoea, malabsorption, increased intestinal permeability,
