Their ability to degrade lignocellulose gives termites an important place in the carbon cycle.
This ability relies on their partnership with a diverse community of bacterial, archaeal and …

Termite guts harbor a dense and diverse microbiota that is essential for symbiotic digestion.
The major players in lower termites are unique lineages of cellulolytic flagellates, whereas …

The rhizosphere is a hotspot for microbial carbon transformations, and is the entry point for
root polysaccharides and polymeric carbohydrates that are important precursors to soil …

Background Linking the identity of wild microbes with their ecophysiological traits and
environmental functions is a key ambition for microbial ecologists. Of many techniques that …

The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following effectively
published new names and new combinations under the procedure described in the …

Improving cultivability of a wider range of bacterial and archaeal community members, living
natively in natural environments and within plants, is a prerequisite to better understanding …

We explored microbial contributions to decomposition using a sophisticated approach to
DNA Stable Isotope Probing (SIP). Our experiment evaluated the dynamics and ecological …

To address the problems of low efficacy and low microbial activity in low-temperature
municipal wastewater treatment, this study utilized an air-lift micro-pressure internal …

Continuous crop** of the same crop leads to land degradation. This is also called the
continuous‐crop** obstacle. Here, we investigated how long‐term continuous crop** of …

Determining which microbial taxa are out there, where they live, and what they are doing is a
driving approach in marine microbial ecology. The importance of these questions is …
