The floodplain environmental variability, which is affected by the river origin, drives not only the sediment chemistry but also the composition of the microbial communities. These environmental changes seem also to affect the pools of methanotrophs occupying distinct niches. Understanding these shifts in...
The ecotypes selected within the samples from different depths were different in photosynthetic characteristics and grew in a range of nutrient concentrations. The OTUs colonizing different niches in the water column did not show any significant clustering. However, the OTU richness was significantly ...
There are differences in the specific pathogenesis of different types of dysspermatism. To determine the role of seminal microbiota in the different types of dysspermatism, we analyzed the seminal microbiota in patients with four different types of dysspermatism—asthenospermia, oligospermia, oli...
The 9,652 predicted genes in UM 843 were mapped to the KOG, KEGG and GO (Table 1;Fig. 3). A total of 5,215 predicted proteins were annotated redundantly into 5,853 KOG classifications (Fig. 3a). Among the highest annotated groups, posttranslational modifications of proteins appeared signif...
(like temperature,pH). Gause reasoned that if two species had identical niches (required identical resources and habitats) they would attempt to live in the exact same area and would compete for the exact same resources. If this happened, the species that was the best competitor would always ...
Prevotella diversity, niches and interactions with the human host. Nat Rev Microbiol. 2021;19 (9):585–599. doi:10.1038/s41579-021-00559-y 26. De Filippo C, Cavalieri D, Di Paola M, et al. Impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota revealed by a comparative study in children from ...
Deep sequencing of the vari- able region of 16S rRNA genes has become the predominant tool for studying microbial ecology. Many studies have used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to investigate bacterial communities in drinking water resources and drinking water treatment process...
Many of the processes within the geochemical cycles have developed exclusively in bacteria or archaea and are performed by multiple species occupying a wide variety of ecological niches (DeLong et al.1993; Sogin et al.2006; Teeling et al.2012). Biologically mediated nutrient cycling is carried ...
Understanding the uneven distribution of biodiversity on Earth is one of the most fundamental goals in ecology and evolution. Numerous patterns of biodiversity distributions have been documented, but the obvious increase in species richness from the poles toward the equator known as the latitudinal diver...
the reduced competition in arid environments (as a consequence of communities with fewer species) may allow species to evolve wider ecological niches. Finally, and similar to our results in the dry Chaco, disturbed and undisturbed habitats in dry ecosystems show, in general, similar microclimatic ...
