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.

Carbon Amendments Shape the Bacterial Community Structure in Salinized Farmland Soil
Practical, effective, and economically feasible salt reclamation and amelioration methods are in great demand in arid and semiarid areas. Energy amendments may be more appropriate than alternatives for improving salinized farmland soil because of their ...

Different bacterial communities in ectomycorrhizae and surrounding soil [PDF]
Several eukaryotic symbioses have shown to host a rich diversity of prokaryotes that interact with their hosts. Here, we study bacterial communities associated with ectomycorrhizal root systems of Bistorta vivipara compared to bacterial communities in bulk soil using pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons.

Impact of Soil Disinfestation on Fungal and Bacterial Communities in Soil With Cucumber Cultivation [PDF]
Soil treatment with disinfectants has been used for controlling soilborne phytopathogens. Besides suppressing specific pathogens, how these disinfectants impact soil health, especially soil microbial communities, is yet to be systemically determined.

Effects of Urban–Rural Environmental Gradient on Soil Microbial Community in Rapidly Urbanizing Area
Rapid urbanization considerably changes the urban–rural landscape, soil environment, and soil ecosystem functions. Within terrestrial ecosystems, microorganisms play key roles in soil ecosystem functions and are highly vulnerable to the effects of rapid ...
