Nematode exclusion and recovery in experimental soil microcosms
Experimental manipulations of soil fauna are a powerful tool for assessing causal relationships between belowground biodiversity and key ecosystem properties. However, preparing soil microcosm treatments without soil fauna for ecological experiments can be problematic. Methods to exclude nematodes, a ubiquitous and functionally important component of terrestrial ecosystems, have been developed ...
متن کاملGene transfer in soil systems using microcosms
Soil microcosms are a valuable tool for the study of genetic interactions between microorganisms in natural soil environments. However, many factors, some of which are better studied than others, can affect gene transfer events occurring in soil systems, and hence should be carefully considered when performing experiments in soil microcosms. This paper is a guide to setting up and evaluating ge...
متن کاملLeaching and binding of fumonisins in soil microcosms.
Fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) is a water-soluble mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides. Our research objectives were to determine the leaching of FB(1) through soils and FB(1) binding in soil. Leachate columns were used to determine the movement of FB(1) through soil. FB(1)-contaminated corn screenings or water extracts containing FB(1) were placed on the surface of soil columns. In 100% sand...
متن کاملMicrobial Production of Volatile Organic Compounds in Soil Microcosms
A study was conducted to evaluate the. use of volatile organic microbial metabolites, particularly geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, as indicators of activity of specific groups of microorganisms (actinomycetes, bacteria, or fungi) in soil. Substrates and selective antibiotics were added to soil microcosms to establish different soil microbial communities; volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the...
متن کاملInhibition of Bacterial Ammonia Oxidation by Organohydrazines in Soil Microcosms
Hydroxylamine oxidation by hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) is a key step for energy-yielding in support of the growth of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Organohydrazines have been shown to inactivate HAO from Nitrosomonas europaea, and may serve as selective inhibitors to differentiate bacterial from archaeal ammonia oxidation due to the absence of bacterial HAO gene homolog in known ammon...
