Microbial Cheaters and their Impact on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Degrading pyrogenic (fire-affected) organic matter is an important ecosystem function of fungi in post-fire environments.
Scientists identify key features in microbes that predict how warming affects carbon dioxide emissions.
A few common bacteria use most of the carbon in soil
Bacteria collection opens new directions for research on cottonwoods, poplars, and other trees useful for biofuel and other applications.
Ecological assembly and source tracking models characterize the initial assembly of the poplar microbiome across plant-associated habitats.
Identification of an enzyme that microbes deploy in the presence of plants leads to discovery of candidate genes involved in root colonization.
An enzyme system frees sulfur from small organic compounds to make a surprising gaseous side product.
In natural soil, predatory bacteria grow faster than their prey.
Soil warming leads to more complex, larger, and more connected networks of microbes in those soils
Molybdenum Limits Microbes’ Ability to Remove Harmful Nitrate from Soil
Microbial cycling of phosphorus through reduction-oxidation reactions is older and more widespread than expected.
