Succession of Fungal Communities and Their Functional Profiles in a Decaying Foundation Species
Microb Ecol. 2023 Oct 4. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02306-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDead plant biomass from foundation plant species is fundamental for the survival of coastal salt marshes because dead biomass aids in the vertical accretion of the ecosystem. Fungi regulate the decomposition of dead biomass, and thus play an essential role for marsh survival. Despite their importance, little is known about the compositional and functional changes of fungal communities in plant matter throughout senescence and litter decomposition. Here, we analyzed how fungal communities and their functionality change in the foundation ...

The wild solitary bees Andrena vaga, Anthophora plumipes, Colletes cunicularius, and Osmia cornuta microbiota are host specific and dominated by endosymbionts and environmental microorganisms
Microb Ecol. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02304-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe characterized the microbial communities of the crop, midgut, hindgut, and ovaries of the wild solitary bees Andrena vaga, Anthophora plumipes, Colletes cunicularius, and Osmia cornuta through 16S rRNA gene and ITS2 amplicon sequencing and a large-scale isolation campaign. The bacterial communities of these bees were dominated by endosymbionts of the genera Wolbachia and Spiroplasma. Bacterial and yeast genera representing the remaining predominant taxa were linked to an environmental origin. While only a single sampling site was exam...

Depth-Dependent Distribution of Prokaryotes in Sediments of the Manganese Crust on Nazimov Guyots of the Magellan Seamounts
This study expands current knowledge on the vertical distribution of benthic prokaryotic diversity in deep sea settings underneath polymetallic nodules, and the results reported might set a baseline for future mining decisions.PMID:37792089 | DOI:10.1007/s00248-023-02305-8 (Source: Microbial Ecology)

Phosphorus Coupled with High Nitrogen Addition Exerts a Great Influence on Soil Bacterial Community in a Semiarid Grassland
Microb Ecol. 2023 Sep 15. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02297-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition, either individually or in combination, has been demonstrated to enhance plant productivity in grassland ecosystems. Soil bacterial community, which is the driver of litter decomposition and nutrient cycling, is assumed to control responses of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function to N and P addition. Using a high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform, we conducted a 9-year field experiment of N (0, 5, 10, and 20 g N m-2 yr-1) and P (0 and 10 g P m-2 yr-1) additions in the Inner M...
