Laser microsampling of soil microbial community [PDF]

Journal of Biological Engineering, 2018
Standard microorganism isolating technology applied for complex multiphase environmental samples such as soil or sediment needs pre-treatment steps to remove living cells from their mixed-phase microniche, by creating a liquid-phase sample. This process removes synergetic relationships, which help to maintain viability of yet-to-be-cultured and hard-to-

Microbial Community Composition Affects Soil Fungistasis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACT Most soils inhibit fungal germination and growth to a certain extent, a phenomenon known as soil fungistasis. Previous observations have implicated microorganisms as the causal agents of fungistasis, with their action mediated either by available carbon limitation (nutrient deprivation hypothesis) or production of ...

Soil Disturbance Affects Plant Productivity via Soil Microbial Community Shifts [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Recent advances in climate research have discovered that permafrost is particularly vulnerable to the changes occurring in the atmosphere and climate, especially in Alaska where 85% of the land is underlain by mostly discontinuous permafrost. As permafrost thaws, research has shown that natural and anthropogenic soil disturbance causes microbial ...

Plant chemical variation mediates soil bacterial community composition

Scientific Reports, 2023
An important challenge in the study of ecosystem function is resolving how plant antiherbivore chemical defence expression may influence plant-associated microbes, and nutrient release.

Suitability of Mycorrhiza-Defective Rice and Its Progenitor for Studies on the Control of Nitrogen Loss in Paddy Fields via Arbuscular Mycorrhiza [PDF]

, 2020
Employing mycorrhiza-defective mutants and their progenitors does not require inoculation or elimination of the resident microbial community in the experimental study of mycorrhizal soil ecology.

Succession of soil microbial community in a developing mid-channel bar: The role of environmental disturbance and plant community

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Succession of microbial and plant communities is crucial for the development and the stability of soil ecological functions. The relative role of plant communities and environmental disturbance in shaping the microbial community in a newly established ...

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

A coexisting fungal-bacterial community stabilizes soil decomposition activity in a microcosm experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
How diversity influences the stability of a community function is a major question in ecology. However, only limited empirical investigations of the diversity-stability relationship in soil microbial communities have been undertaken, despite the ...

Extractable nitrogen and microbial community structure respond to grassland restoration regardless of historical context and soil composition. [PDF]

, 2015
Grasslands have a long history of invasion by exotic annuals, which may alter microbial communities and nutrient cycling through changes in litter quality and biomass turnover rates.

Impact of (±)-catechin on soil microbial communities [PDF]

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009
Catechin is a highly studied but controversial allelochemical reported as a component of the root exudates of Centaurea maculosa. Initial reports of high and consistent exudation rates and soil concentrations have been shown to be highly inaccurate, but the chemical has been found in root exudates at and much less frequently in soil but sporadically at
