Assessing bacterial contamination in environmental samples is critical in determining threats
to public health. The classical methods are time-consuming and only recognize species that …

Metabolic interactions are fundamental to the assembly and functioning of microbiomes,
including those of plants. However, disentangling the molecular basis of these interactions …

The ability to link soil microbial diversity to soil processes requires technologies that
differentiate active microbes from extracellular DNA and dormant cells. Here, we use …

High-temperature geothermal springs host simplified microbial communities; however, the
activities of individual microorganisms and their roles in the carbon cycle in nature are not …

DNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) with 13 C labeled phenanthrene (PHE) as substrate was
used to identify specific bacterial degraders during natural attenuation (NA) and …

Biochar-oxalic acid composite application (BCOA) have shown to be efficient in the
remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil, but the functional …

Long-term contrasts in agricultural management can shift soil resource availability with
potential consequences to microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) and the fate of C in …

The indigenous microorganisms responsible for degrading phenanthrene (PHE) in activated
biosludge were identified using DNA-based stable isotope probing. Besides the well-known …

CO is a promising substrate for producing biochemicals and biofuels through mixed
microbial cultures, where carboxydotrophs play a crucial role. The previous investigations of …

Most cherry orchards in China have low organic carbon content, though carbon is very
important for plant growth. The changes in soil carbon and bacterial diversity were …
