Nutrient availability and grazing influence the strength of priority effects during freshwater bacterial community coalescence Environ. Microbiol. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-28 Theresa Lumpi, Xin Guo, Eva S. Lindström
When bacterial communities mix, immigration history can fundamentally affect the community composition as a result of priority effects. Priority effects arise when an early immigrant exhausts resources and/or alters habitat conditions, thereby influencing the establishment success of the late arriver. The strength of priority effects is context-dependent and expected to be stronger if environmental

Top-heavy trophic structure within benthic viral dark matter Environ. Microbiol. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-28 Ethan C. Cissell, Sophie J. McCoy
A better understanding of system-specific viral ecology in diverse environments is needed to predict patterns of virus–host trophic structure in the Anthropocene. This study characterised viral-host trophic structure within coral reef benthic cyanobacterial mats—a globally proliferating cause and consequence of coral reef degradation. We employed deep longitudinal multi-omic sequencing to characterise

Cyanobacteria as a critical reservoir of the environmental antimicrobial resistome Environ. Microbiol. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-26 V. J. Timms, K. A. Hassan, L. A. Pearson, B. A. Neilan
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is predicted to cause a worldwide annual toll of 10 million deaths by 2050. This looming public health threat has been linked to antibiotic overuse and pollution, which places selective pressures on AMR maintenance and transfer in and between microbial populations. We examined the distribution, diversity and potential mobility of AMR genes in cyanobacteria. While cyanobacteria

Emerging diseases caused by both native and exotic pathogens represent a main threat to forest ecosystems worldwide. The two invasive soilborne pathogens Phytophthora cinnamomi and Phytophthora × cambivora are the causal agents of ink disease, which has been threatening Castanea sativa in Europe for several centuries and seems to be re-emerging in recent years.

Most microbes share their environmental niches with very different forms of life thereby engaging in specialised relationships to enable their persistence. The bacterium Bacillus cereus occurs ubiquitously in the environment with certain strain backgrounds causing foodborne and opportunistic infections in humans. The emetic lineage of B. cereus is capable of producing the toxin cereulide, which evokes

Soil arsenic (As) pollution not only decreases plant productivity but also soil quality, in turn hampering sustainable agricultural development. Despite the negative effects of As contamination on rice yield and quality being reported widely, the responses of microbial communities and co-occurrence networks in paddy soil to As pollution have not been explored.

Halophilic archaea thriving in hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes, offer models for putative life in extraterrestrial brines such as those found on Mars. However, little is known about the effect of the chaotropic salts that could be found in such brines, such as MgCl2, CaCl2 and (per)chlorate salts, on complex biological samples like cell lysates which could be expected to be more representative

Rookery through rehabilitation: Microbial community assembly in newborn harbour seals after maternal separation Environ. Microbiol. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-16 Alexandra D. Switzer, Benjamin J.

Microbial community assembly remains largely unexplored in marine mammals, despite its potential importance for conservation and management. Here, neonatal microbiota assembly was studied in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) at a rehabilitation facility soon after maternal separation, through weaning, to the time of release back to their native environment. We found that the gingival and rectal
