Temperature adaptation of bacterial communities in experimentally warmed forest soils.
A detailed understanding of the influence of temperature on soil microbial activity is critical to predict future atmospheric CO2 concentrations and feedbacks to anthropogenic warming. We investigated soils exposed to 3-4 years of continuous 5 °C-warming in a field experiment in a temperate forest. We found that an index for the temperature adaptation of the microbial community, Tmin for bacter...
متن کاملIs adaptation to climate change really constrained in niche specialists?
Species with restricted distributions make up the vast majority of biodiversity. Recent evidence suggests that Drosophila species with restricted tropical distributions lack genetic variation in the key trait of desiccation resistance. It has therefore been predicted that tropically restricted species will be limited in their evolutionary response to future climatic changes and will face higher...
متن کاملNovel microarray design strategy to study complex bacterial communities.
Assessing bacterial flora composition appears to be of increasing importance to fields as diverse as physiology, development, medicine, epidemiology, the environment, and the food industry. We report here the development and validation of an original microarray strategy that allows analysis of the phylogenic composition of complex bacterial mixtures. The microarray contains approximately 9,500 ...
متن کاملBacterial communities in worker versus
Soldier and worker castes of lower wood-feeding termites, Reticulitermes flavipes, differ in morphology and diet, and may therefore play host to distinct bacterial communities. While many studies have attempted to characterize the gut microbiota in lower termites, to date no study exists which explores the differences in bacterial communities in these two lower termite castes . In this study TR...
متن کاملThe bacterial flagellar switch complex is getting more complex.
The mechanism of function of the bacterial flagellar switch, which determines the direction of flagellar rotation and is essential for chemotaxis, has remained an enigma for many years. Here we show that the switch complex associates with the membrane-bound respiratory protein fumarate reductase (FRD). We provide evidence that FRD binds to preparations of isolated switch complexes, forms a 1:1 ...
