The diversity and biogeography of soil bacterial communities [PDF]
For centuries, biologists have studied patterns of plant and animal diversity at continental scales. Until recently, similar studies were impossible for microorganisms, arguably the most diverse and abundant group of organisms on Earth.

Propachlor degradation by a soil bacterial community [PDF]
Soil from a pesticide disposal site was used to enrich for microorganisms that degraded the acylanilide herbicide propachlor (2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide). After seven transfers of the enrichment, the culture contained about six strains. The highest yield of microbial biomass occurred if just two of these isolates, strains DAK3 and MAB2, were ...

Impact of clomazone on bacterial communities in two soils
IntroductionBacterial communities are important for soil functions, but the effect of clomazone on network complexity, composition, and stability is not well studied.MethodIn this study, two agricultural soils were used to test the impact of clomazone on bacterial communities, and the two soils were treated with three concentrations of clomazone (0, 0 ...

The legacy of bacterial invasions on soil native communities [PDF]
Summary Soil microbial communities are often not resistant to the impact caused by microbial invasions, both in terms of structure and functionality, but it remains unclear whether these changes persist over time. Here, we used three strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (

Changes in the bacterial communities in chromium-contaminated soils
IntroductionHexavalent chromium or Cr(VI) is essential to various industries, such as leather manufacturing and stainless steel production. Given that inevitable leakage from industries pollutes the soil and thereby affects the soil environment. Microbial communities could improve the quality of the soil.

Bacterial Community Structure and Function Shift in Rhizosphere Soil of Tobacco Plants Infected by Meloidogyne incognita [PDF]
Root-knot nematode disease is a widespread and catastrophic disease of tobacco. However, little is known about the relationship between rhizosphere bacterial community and root-knot nematode disease.

Community Complexity Does Not Weaken Pairwise Coevolution in a Soil Bacterial Community. [PDF]
Abstract Exploitative interactions, such as predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, are ubiquitous in microbial communities. These interactions shape community density and composition, imposing strong selection on members to evolve countermeasures reducing the negative impacts of exploitation.
