Impact of Land Use Management and Soil Properties on Denitrifier Communities of Namibian SavannasMicrobial Ecology - Tập 70 - Trang 981-992 - 2015
Gesche Braker, Diethart Matthies, Michael Hannig, Franziska Barbara Brandt, Kristof Brenzinger, Alexander Gröngröft
We studied potential denitrification activity and the underlying denitrifier communities in soils from a semiarid savanna ecosystem of the Kavango region in NE Namibia to help in predicting future changes in N2O emissions due to continuing changes of land use in this region. Soil type and land use (pristine, fallow, and cultivated soils) influenced physicochemical characteristics of the soils that...... hiện toàn bộ
Endophytic Occupation of Root Nodules and Roots of Melilotus dentatus by Agrobacterium tumefaciensMicrobial Ecology - Tập 52 - Trang 436-443 - 2006
Ling Ling Wang, En Tao Wang, Jie Liu, Ying Li, Wen Xin Chen
Agrobacterium strains have been frequently isolated from the root nodules of different legumes. Various possible mechanisms have been proposed to explain the existence of these bacteria in nodules, but there is no sufficient experimental evidence to support the estimations. In this work, we proved that the Agrobacterium strain CCBAU 81181, which was originally isolated from the root nodules of Ono...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of spatial and temporal variation in the community structure of yeasts associated with decayingOpuntia cactusMicrobial Ecology - Tập 14 - Trang 267-276 - 1987
J. S. F. Barker, W. T. Starmer, D. C. Vacek
The microbial structure within, between, and over time in decaying cladodes of the common prickly pearOpuntia stricta was studied at each of two separate localities. In general, the effective number of yeast species and yeast species diversity increased as the rot aged to the observed maximum time of 4 weeks. Yeast heterogeneity at the two localities differed in the mode of environmental influence...... hiện toàn bộ
Initial Phylogenetic Relatedness of Saprotrophic Fungal Communities Affects Subsequent Litter Decomposition RatesMicrobial Ecology - Tập 69 - Trang 748-757 - 2014
Stephanie N. Kivlin, Kathleen K. Treseder
Ecosystem-level consequences of biodiversity loss of macroorganisms are well understood, while the repercussions of species extirpation in microbial systems are not. We manipulated species richness and phylogenetic relatedness of saprotrophic fungi in situ in a boreal forest to address this issue. Litter decomposition rates (as total mass loss) after 2 months were significantly higher in the least...... hiện toàn bộ
A Recipe for Success: Three Key Strategies Used by Aphids and Pseudomonas syringae to Colonize the PhyllosphereMicrobial Ecology - Tập 85 - Trang 1-8 - 2022
Christian Silva-Sanzana, Maria Victoria Gangas, Diego Zavala, Francisca Blanco-Herrera
Aphids and Pseudomonas syringae are a permanent challenge for agriculture, causing severe losses to the crop industry worldwide. Despite the obvious phylogenetic distance between them, both have become predominant colonizers of the plant kingdom. In this study, we reviewed three key steps of spread and colonization that aphids and P. syringae have mastered to successfully colonize the phyllosphere...... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamics of Indigenous Lactic Acid Bacteria Populations in Wine Fermentations from La Rioja (Spain) During Three VintagesMicrobial Ecology - Tập 63 - Trang 12-19 - 2011
Lucía González-Arenzana, Rosa López, Pilar Santamaría, Carmen Tenorio, Isabel López-Alfaro
Diversity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species has been analyzed for three consecutive years (2006, 2007, and 2008) during alcoholic and malolactic fermentations of Tempranillo wine in a winery at La Rioja. The results showed differences in malolactic fermentation duration, and in both diversity of LAB species and diversity of Oenococcus oeni genotypes. O. oeni was shown to be the predominant spe...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of High-Concentrate Feeding and Low Ruminal pH on Methanogens and Protozoa in the Rumen of Dairy CowsMicrobial Ecology - Tập 62 - Trang 94-105 - 2011
Sarah E. Hook, Michael A. Steele, Korinne S. Northwood, André-Denis G. Wright, Brian W. McBride
Non-lactating dairy cattle were transitioned to a high-concentrate diet to investigate the effect of ruminal pH suppression, commonly found in dairy cattle, on the density, diversity, and community structure of rumen methanogens, as well as the density of rumen protozoa. Four ruminally cannulated cows were fed a hay diet and transitioned to a 65% grain and 35% hay diet. The cattle were maintained ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of Algal Biomass on Extracellular Enzyme Activity in River BiofilmsMicrobial Ecology - Tập 40 - Trang 16-24 - 2014
A. M. Romaní, S. Sabater
Relationships between biofilm structural components (algal and bacterial biomass) and the activities of some extracellular enzymes that contribute to the ability to degrade organic matter) were explored for six Atlantic and three Mediterranean streams and rivers. The biofilms in these fluvial systems accounted for a wide range of bacterial and algal biomass and colonized the most common benthic ha...... hiện toàn bộ
