Dominant and functionally important soil microbes show strong, predictable, and distinctly different associations with continental-scale gradients in climate, vegetation, and soil moisture.
A novel ecological measurement uncovered interactions between river corridor organic matter assemblages and microbial communities, highlighting potentially important microbial taxa and molecular formula types.
Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.
High-throughput biochemical assays targeting a vital viral protein identified one molecule out of more than 13,000 with promising antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.
Understanding lipid composition of ant fungal gardens provides new knowledge on interkingdom communications band and also advances toward the development of microbial systems that can produce valuable compounds from plant biomass.
