Bacterial Diversity Stabilizes Community Productivity
BACKGROUND Stability is a crucial ecosystem feature gaining particular importance in face of increasing anthropogenic stressors. Biodiversity is considered to be a driving biotic force maintaining stability, and in this study we investigate how different indices of biodiversity affect the stability of communities in varied abiotic (composition of available resources) and biotic (invasion) conte...
متن کاملDefined spatial structure stabilizes a synthetic multispecies bacterial community.
This paper shows that for microbial communities, "fences make good neighbors." Communities of soil microorganisms perform critical functions: controlling climate, enhancing crop production, and remediation of environmental contamination. Microbial communities in the oral cavity and the gut are of high biomedical interest. Understanding and harnessing the function of these communities is difficu...
متن کاملIndirect effects of food web diversity and productivity on bacterial community function and composition
1. Previous evidence suggests that bacterially mediated decomposition of complex organic substrates increases with greater food web diversity. We attempted to identify changes in bacterial community composition and function associated with increased decomposition in more diverse food webs. 2. We used aquatic microcosms where we manipulated productivity with different initial nutrient concentrat...
متن کاملBacterial Community Diversity Harboured by Interacting Species
All animals are infected by microbial partners that can be passengers or residents and influence many biological traits of their hosts. Even if important factors that structure the composition and abundance of microbial communities within and among host individuals have been recently described, such as diet, developmental stage or phylogeny, few studies have conducted cross-taxonomic comparison...
