Abstract Volcanic ash is widely held responsible for fertilizing soils, but the processes and conditions leading to volcanic soil fertility remain poorly understood. We report here the results of a greenhouse volcanic ash fertilization (VAF) experiment aimed to explore the impact of basaltic ash addition (0–10 wt%) to soil on plant growth, nutrient ...

Characterizing and quantifying in situ metabolisms remains both a central goal and challenge for environmental microbiology. Here, we used a single-cell, multi-isotope approach to investigate the anabolic activity of marine microorganisms, with an ...

A congruent phylogenomic signal places eukaryotes within the Archaea [PDF]
Determining the relationships among the major groups of cellular life is important for understanding the evolution of biological diversity, but is difficult given the enormous time spans involved.

Interactions and Community Structure of Fungi and Prokaryotes in Salt and Brackish Marsh Ecosystems
Microbial communities drive biogeochemical cycling in salt and brackish marshes, yet fungal‐prokaryotic interactions remain understudied. This study used 16S and 28S rRNA metabarcoding and network analyses to examine microbial communities in North Inlet salt marsh and Winyah Bay brackish marsh.

Microbial diversity in the thermal springs within Hot Springs National Park [PDF]
The thermal water systems of Hot Springs National Park (HSNP) in Hot Springs, Arkansas exist in relative isolation from other North American thermal systems. The HSNP waters could therefore serve as a unique center of thermophilic microbial biodiversity.

Structural conservation of chemotaxis machinery across Archaea and Bacteria [PDF]
Chemotaxis allows cells to sense and respond to their environment. In Bacteria, stimuli are detected by arrays of chemoreceptors that relay the signal to a two-component regulatory system.

Background Overfeeding of high-concentrate diet (HC) frequently leads to subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in modern dairy cows’ production. Thiamine supplementation has been confirmed to attenuate HC induced SARA by increasing ruminal pH and ratio of ...

Constraints in the application of the Branched and Isoprenoid Tetraether index as a terrestrial input proxy [PDF]
Determination of the relative inputs of aquatic autochthonous and terrestrial allochthonous organic matter into marine and lacustrine environments is essential to understanding the global carbon budget.

The contribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea to primary production in the South China Sea [PDF]
海洋初级生产力是供养和维持海洋巨大生物资源的物质基础,同时能够通过驱使大气CO2向海洋转移,来实现对全球气候变化的调节作用,因此加深对海洋初级生产力的认识将有助于我们对海洋生态系统、海洋生物地球化学循环及全球变化等问题的认识。然而目前关于初级生产力的研究主要集中在真光层,而对于占海洋水体近75%的真光层以下水体的研究则严重落后。另一方面,奇古菌作为古菌的突出代表,既具有海洋中分布的广泛性与高丰度的特点,同时还具有自养碳固定和氨氧化的功能,使得它在海洋碳、氮生物地球化学循环中扮演着重要的角色。因此 ...

Hydrocarbon-related microbial processes in the deep sediments of the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin [PDF]
During the 2011 exploration season of the EV Nautilus in the Mediterranean Sea, we conducted a multidisciplinary study, aimed at exploring the microbial populations below the sediment–water interface (SWI) in the hydrocarbon-rich environments of the ...
