Diversity rankings among bacterial lineages in soil [PDF]
Abstract We used rarefaction curve analysis and diversity ordering-based approaches to rank the 11 most frequently encountered bacterial lineages in soil according to diversity in 5 previously reported 16S rRNA gene clone libraries derived from agricultural, undisturbed tall grass prairie and forest soils (n=26,140, 28 328, 31 818, 13 ...

pH-Related Changes in Soil Bacterial Communities in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China
Soil bacteria are crucial components of terrestrial ecosystems, playing an important role in soil biogeochemical cycles. Although bacterial community diversity and composition are regulated by many abiotic and biotic factors, how soil physiochemical ...

Bacterial Diversity in Agricultural Soils during Litter Decomposition [PDF]
ABSTRACT Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of amplified fragments of genes coding for 16S rRNA was used to study the development of bacterial communities during decomposition of crop residues in agricultural soils. Ten strains were tested, and eight of these strains produced a single band.
