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
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]
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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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]
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]
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,
