Trends in Microbial Community Composition and Function by Soil Depth
Microorganisms, 2022 Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as chemical composition and physical structure change from surface layers to

TGFβ/BMP immune signaling affects abundance and function of C. elegans gut commensals. [PDF]
, 2019 The gut microbiota contributes to host health and fitness, and imbalances in its composition are associated with pathology. However, what shapes microbiota composition is not clear, in particular the role of genetic factors.

Trophic Regulations of the Soil Microbiome
Trends in Microbiology, 2019 The soil microbiome regulates vital ecosystem functions ranging from primary production to soil carbon sequestration. Yet, we have only begun to understand the factors regulating the soil microbiome. While the importance of abiotic factors is increasingly recognized, the roles of trophic regulations in driving the structure and function of the soil ...

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]
, 2019 Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...

Metallic micronutrients are associated with the structure and function of the soil microbiome
Nature Communications, 2023 The relationship between metallic micronutrients and soil microorganisms, and thereby soil functioning, has been little explored. Here, we investigate the relationship between metallic micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo and Ni) and the abundance ...

Functional Traits Co-Occurring with Mobile Genetic Elements in the Microbiome of the Atacama Desert [PDF]
, 2019 Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an essential role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These elements are enriched within bacterial communities from extreme environments. However, very little is known if specific genes co-occur with MGEs in extreme
