Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …

Microbial communities are shaped by positive and negative interactions ranging from
competition to mutualism. In the context of the mammalian gut and its microbial inhabitants …

Nutrient scarcity is pervasive for natural microbial communities, affecting species
reproduction and co-existence. However, it remains unclear whether there are general rules …

Ruminants produce edible products and contribute to food security. They house a complex
rumen microbial community that enables the host to digest their plant feed through microbial …

Recent studies have brought forward the critical role of emergent properties in sha**
microbial communities and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Emergent properties …

Heterotrophic bacteria—bacteria that utilize organic carbon sources—are taxonomically and
functionally diverse across environments. It is challenging to map metabolic interactions and …

The limited information on microbial interactions and metabolic patterns in denitrification
systems, especially those fed with different carbon sources, has hindered the establishment …

A key challenge in microbiome research is to predict the functionality of microbial
communities based on community membership and (meta)-genomic data. As central …

All animals, from cnidarians to humans, are colonized with microbes, and the greatest
diversity and magnitude of these host-associated microorganisms resides within the …

Soil microbial inoculants are expected to boost crop productivity under climate change and
soil degradation. However, the efficiency of native vs commercialized microbial inoculants in …
