The use of next-generation diagnostic tools to optimise the anaerobic digestion of municipal
sewage sludge has the potential to increase renewable natural gas recovery, improve the …

Generalists can survive in many environments, whereas specialists are restricted to a single
environment. Although a classical concept in ecology, niche breadth has remained …

The atmosphere is an integral component of the Earth's microbiome. Abundance, viability,
and diversity of microorganisms circulating in the air are determined by various factors …

Introduction Microbial generalists and specialists are thought to have distinct impacts on
community dynamics, while there have been limited efforts to estimate their contribution to …

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an abundant and readily accessible energy source in marine
systems, but it remains unknown whether marine microbial communities consume this gas …

The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable
(sand) sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide-and wave-driven …

Carbon fixation is a critical process for our planet; however, its distribution across the
bacterial and archaeal domains of life has not been comprehensively studied. Here, we …

Microbial metacommunities normally comprise generalists and specialists. Uncovering the
mechanisms underlying the diversity patterns of these two sub‐communities is crucial for …

Heavy metal contamination poses an escalating global challenge to soil ecosystems, with
hyperaccumulators playing a crucial role in environmental remediation and resource …

Soil microbiomes are sensitive to current and previous soil conditions, and bacterial
'bioindicators' of biological, physical, and chemical soil properties have considerable …
