The aim of this review is to introduce and critically comment the main research topics
considered in a selection of papers on the European large perialpine lakes (LPL) presented …

Planctomycetes, a unique group of widespread and understudied bacteria, are known to be
associated with macroalgae. The temporal dynamics and the host-specific association of …

Insights into the diversity of marine natural microbial biofilms, as for example those
developing at the surface of marine macroalgae, can be obtained by using molecular …

Purpose This study aimed to isolate plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that
exhibit heavy metal resistance to examine their influence on Cd uptake and soil microbial …

Lakes have a central role in the carbon cycle of the boreal landscape. These systems
typically stratify in summer and their hypolimnetic microbial communities influence burial of …

Temperate lakes experience variation in mixing and stratification that affects the
distributions, activities, abundances, and diversity of plankton communities. We examined …

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was used to analyze the seasonal variations in the
bacterioplankton community composition (BCC) in the euphotic layer of a large and deep …

The Planctomycetes genus Gemmata is represented by both uncultured organisms and
cultured Gemmata obscuriglobus and 'Gemmata massiliana'organisms. Their plasmidless …

The oxygenated hypolimnion accounts for a volumetrically significant part of the global
freshwater systems. Previous studies have proposed the presence of hypolimnion-specific …

Planctomycetes bacteria are ubiquitously distributed across various biospheres and play
key roles in global element cycles. However, few deep-sea Planctomycetes members have …
