Extracellular enzymes, primarily produced by microorganisms, affect ecosystem processes
because of their essential roles in degradation, transformation and mineralization of organic …

Modern microbial mats are potential analogues of some of Earth's earliest ecosystems.
Excellent examples can be found in Shark Bay, Australia, with mats of various morphologies …

We conducted a field study to investigate the role of stringent response in cyanobacteria and
coexisting bacterioplankton during nutrient-deprived periods at various stages of bloom in a …

Massive accumulation of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is the serious problem for
development of pond aquaculture. Several efforts have been paid to reduce negative effects …

Elucidating the association between the phoD-harboring bacterial community and soil
ecosystem multifunctionality, which is crucial for the comprehension of the phoD-harboring …

Phosphorus, an element essential to all life, is impacted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) co‐
precipitation and dissolution dynamics across aquatic ecosystems. Changes to climate …

Rivers are important ecosystem services providers in southern Chile; however, the
microbiology of most rivers are understudied. This is particularly true for phosphorus (P) …

Phosphorus (P) cycling by microbial activity is highly relevant in the eutrophication of lakes.
In this context, the contents of organic (P o) and inorganic (P i) phosphorus, the activity of …

The bacterial phoD gene encoding alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays an important role in
the release of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) from organic phosphorus in ecosystems …

Single stranded DNA viruses have been previously shown to populate the oceans on a
global scale, and are endemic in microbialites of both marine and freshwater systems. We …
