Microbial seed banks: the ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy
Dormancy is a bet-hedging strategy used by a wide range of taxa, including
microorganisms. It refers to an organism's ability to enter a reversible state of low metabolic …

Nutrient supply controls the linkage between species abundance and ecological interactions in marine bacterial communities
Nutrient scarcity is pervasive for natural microbial communities, affecting species
reproduction and co-existence. However, it remains unclear whether there are general rules …

Marine microbial assemblages on microplastics: diversity, adaptation, and role in degradation
S Oberbeckmann, M Labrenz - Annual review of marine science, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We have known for more than 45 years that microplastics in the ocean are carriers of
microbially dominated assemblages. However, only recently has the role of microbial …

The rare bacterial biosphere
C Pedrós-Alió - Annual review of marine science, 2012 - annualreviews.org
All communities are dominated by a few species that account for most of the biomass and
carbon cycling. On the other hand, a large number of species are represented by only a few …
