Long-term Fertilization Structures Bacterial and Archaeal Communities along Soil Depth Gradient in a Paddy Soil

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Soil microbes provide important ecosystem services. Though the effects of changes in nutrient availability due to fertilization on the soil microbial communities in the topsoil (tilled layer, 0–20 cm) have been extensively explored, the effects on ...

Subsurface Microbial Habitats in an Extreme Desert Mars-Analog Environment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Sediments in the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are a terrestrial analog to Mars regolith. Understanding the distribution and drivers of microbial life in the sediment may give critical clues on how to search for biosignatures on Mars.

Bacterial Diversity and Potential Functions in Response to Long-Term Nitrogen Fertilizer on the Semiarid Loess Plateau

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Bacterial diversity and its functions are essential to soil health. N fertilization changes bacterial communities and interferes with the soil biogeochemical N cycle.

Isolation of Lightning-Competent Soil Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Artificial transformation is typically performed in the laboratory by using either a chemical (CaCl 2 ) or an electrical (electroporation) method. However, laboratory-scale lightning has been shown recently to electrotransform Escherichia coli strain DH10B in soil.

Community ecology of denitrifying bacteria in arable land [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Denitrifying bacteria comprise a functional guild that under anaerobic conditions is able to use nitrogenous compound for respiration. Agricultural soils are often fertilized with nitrogen, and the reduction of nitrate and nitrite to nitric oxide ...
