Natural and human impacts on invertebrate communities in Brazilian caves.
Species richness, abundance, distribution and similarity between cave invertebrate communities were compared among seven caves located in the Peruaçu River valley, north of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Such comparisons aimed to determinate the degree of biological complexity in the sampled caves, calculated by the "Index of Biological Complexity in Caves", presented in this manuscript. The prese...
متن کاملVertical organization of freshwater sediment microbial communities: implications for microbial activities and burial processes
Microbial activity in lake sediments is essential for cycling of organic matter that continuously sinks from the water column. Its ongoing accumulation and subsequent burial at the sediment surface has unknown implications for the structure and function of microbial communities. We performed a full biogeochemical and microbial community analysis of 4 replicate sediment cores in a clear lake. Th...
متن کاملLinking the Effect of Antibiotics on Partial-Nitritation Biofilters: Performance, Microbial Communities and Microbial Activities
The emergence and spread of antibiotics resistance in wastewater treatment systems have been pointed as a major environmental health problem. Nevertheless, research about adaptation and antibiotics resistance gain in wastewater treatment systems subjected to antibiotics has not been successfully developed considering bioreactor performance, microbial community dynamics and microbial activity dy...
متن کاملWhat's Up Down There? Microbial Diversity in Caves
In studying metabolic versatility, microbial ecologists often focus on those microbes that grow in extremes of temperature, osmolarity, pressure, and pH; however, these physical settings often contain microbes within high-energy systems such as sulfidic hot springs or photosynthetically driven biofilm communities. The vast majority of microbial species are not situated within such energetically...
متن کاملMetagenomics and Microbial Communities
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of microbial communities. This new science provides access to organisms that are recalcitrant to culturing, as are the vastmajority of microorganismsonEarth.Metagenomics therebyoffers a first peek at thewide varietyof life that has never been studied, thus providing new insight into the structure and function of ecosystems as diverse as the oceans and the hu...
