The bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems is currently based on various biotic indices that
use the occurrence and/or abundance of selected taxonomic groups to define ecological …

The increasing emergence of new forms of multidrug resistance among human pathogenic
bacteria, coupled with the consequent increase of infectious diseases, urgently requires the …

Deltaproteobacteria, now proposed to be the phyla Desulfobacterota, Myxococcota, and
SAR324, are ubiquitous in marine environments and play essential roles in global carbon …

Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and
their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes …

This study provides a new approach of electrode dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation
(electroanammox) in microbial fuel cell (MFC) integrated hybrid constructed wetlands (CWs) …

Acidobacteriota are widespread and often abundant in marine sediments, yet their metabolic
and ecological properties are poorly understood. Here, we examined metabolisms and …

Bacteria within the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteroidetes) are known to cause devastating and
widespread disease outbreaks in marine eukaryotic hosts. However, with few pathogens …

The third edition of this bestselling text has been rigorously updated to reflect major new
discoveries and concepts since 2011, especially progress due to extensive application of …

Background Taxonomic profiling of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has been the
accepted norm for inferring the composition of complex microbial ecosystems. Quantitative …

The sulfur cycle is an important, although understudied facet of today's modern oxygen
minimum zones (OMZs). Sulfur cycling is most active in highly productive coastal OMZs …
