Intestinal colonization resistance in the context of environmental, host, and microbial determinants
Microbial communities that colonize the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract defend against
pathogens through a mechanism known as colonization resistance (CR). Advances in …

Reproducible propagation of species-rich soil bacterial communities suggests robust underlying deterministic principles of community formation
S Čaušević, J Tackmann, V Sentchilo, C von Mering… - Msystems, 2022 - Am Soc Microbiol
Microbiomes are typically characterized by high species diversity but it is poorly understood
how such system-level complexity can be generated and propagated. Here, we used soil …

Niche modification by sulfate-reducing bacteria drives microbial community assembly in anoxic marine sediments
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are essential functional microbial taxa for degrading
organic matter (OM) in anoxic marine environments. However, there are little experimental …

Bacterial community function increases leaf growth in a pitcher plant experimental system
Across diverse ecosystems, bacteria and their hosts engage in complex relationships having
negative, neutral, or positive interactions. However, the specific effects of leaf-associated …
