Host specificity in diatom–bacteria interactions alleviates antagonistic effects
Specificity in the interactions between marine benthic diatoms and their microbiota suggests that coadaptation reduces antagonism.
Endophytic nitrogen fixation – a possible ‘hidden’ source of nitrogen for lodgepole pine trees growing at unreclaimed gravel mining sites
Endophytic bacteria play a crucial role in sustaining the growth of lodgepole pine trees on extremely nitrogen-poor, unreclaimed gravel mining sites via biological nitrogen fixation.
Environmental control of Vibrio spp. abundance and community structure in tropical waters
In tropical waters, Vibrio abundance is controlled by nutrients and by salinity when <20 ppt, whereas types of predominant Vibrio is dependent upon its growth rate and adaptation to nutrients.
The patterns of nitrogen fixation in haloalkaliphilic phototrophic communities of Kulunda Steppe soda lakes (Altai, Russia)
An analysis of the nitrogen-fixing activity and composition of the haloalkaliphilic phototrophic communities in soda lakes of the Kulunda Steppe in the salinity range of 25-400 g/l.

Microbially mediated nutrient cycles in marine sponges
Microbial symbionts associated with marine sponges are important mediators of nutrient cycles in benthic coral reef ecosystems.
Current Opinion
Wolbachia megadiversity: 99% of these microorganismic manipulators unknown
We estimate Wolbachia diversity at about 100 000 strains and the portion currently known of this diversity is less than 1%, based on quantitative analyzes of the published literature and of 16S DNA sequences of arthropod-hosted Wolbachia.

Comparison of the plant growth-promotion performance of a consortium of Bacilli inoculated as endospores or as vegetative cells
Plant growth promotion resulting from the use of beneficial bacteria was more effective when using a combination of different bacteria, rather than individual strains. This image was created with BioRender.
Utilization of different dissolved organic phosphorus sources by Symbiodinium voratum in vitro
Utilization of different dissolved organic phosphorus sources by Symbiodinium.
Dynamics of the microbial community during growth of the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae in culture
The reduction of the mite population size during the late phases of D. fariane culture development was correlated with the changes in microbial profiles.
Successional trophic complexity and biogeographical structure of eukaryotic communities in waterworks' rapid sand filters
This paper shows how several unique microbial ecosystems which exist on waterworks' sand filters build up over time, and how they differ markedly from each other over distances of <200 km.
Priming of microcystin degradation in carbon-amended membrane biofilm communities is promoted by oxygen-limited conditions
The degradation of a cyanobacterial toxin by microbial biofilms of a small-scale drinking water filtration system is favored by the prior establishment of oxygen-limited conditions.
Salmonella adapts to plants and their environment during colonization of tomatoes
This study shows that Salmonella and tomatoes actively engage in the interaction during colonization and that Salmonella adapts to the plant environment.
Carbohydrate active enzymes are affected by diet transition from milk to solid food in infant gut microbiota
We categorized carbohydrate digestive enzymes of infant gut microbiota based on food intake, and found connections between food intake and abundance of these enzyme genes.
Surviving onshore soil microbial communities differ among the Qing-Tibetan lakes with different salinity
Salinity is a strong barrier that limits the survival of onshore soil microbial communities in the receiving lakes.
Distribution patterns of fungal taxa and inferred functional traits reflect the non-uniform vertical stratification of soil microhabitats in a coastal pine forest
Soil fungal communities are shaped by microhabitat characteristics, such as organic vs mineral soil and the presence or absence of roots, more so than soil depth.
Selection imposed by local environmental conditions drives differences in microbial community composition across geographically distinct groundwater aquifers
Biogeography of microbial communities in groundwater ecosystems.
Freshwater microbial community diversity in a rapidly changing High Arctic watershed
High Arctic freshwater microbial communities are hydrologically interconnected over broad spatial scales throughout the Lake Hazen watershed (northern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada).
Correlation between specific groups of heterotrophic bacteria and microcystin biodegradation in freshwater bodies of central Europe
Our research documents that there is a close link between some specific bacterial classes/orders, microcystin producers and the MC biodegradation process in the water bodies investigated.
Intrinsic role of bacterial secretion systems in phylogenetic niche conservation of Bradyrhizobium spp.
The present in-silico study reports the role of bacterial secretion systems in niche selection of Bradyrhizobium sp.
