Active microorganisms thrive among extremely diverse communities in cloud water
Clouds are key components in Earth's functioning. In addition of acting as obstacles to light radiations and chemical reactors, they are possible atmospheric oases for airborne microorganisms, providing water, nutrients and paths to the ground. Microbial activity was previously detected in clouds, but the microbial community that is active in situ remains unknown. Here, microbial communities in...
متن کاملMetabolically active eukaryotic communities in extremely acidic mine drainage.
Acid mine drainage (AMD) microbial communities contain microbial eukaryotes (both fungi and protists) that confer a biofilm structure and impact the abundance of bacteria and archaea and the community composition via grazing and other mechanisms. Since prokaryotes impact iron oxidation rates and thus regulate AMD generation rates, it is important to analyze the fungal and protistan populations....
متن کاملDiverse modes of eco-evolutionary dynamics in communities of antibiotic-producing microorganisms
Whether and how toxin-mediated interactions contribute to diversity generation and maintenance has been a long-standing puzzle. A recent theoretical work has demonstrated that the interplay between antibiotic production and degradation can robustly maintain coexistence of several microbial strains with different antibiotic production and resistance capabilities. The questions, however, remain w...
متن کاملSocial norm enforcement in ethnically diverse communities
Recent waves of immigration to Western nations have fueled a debate over the consequences of ethnic diversity for social cohesion. One prominent argument in this debate holds that diversity is detrimental to trust and cooperation because individuals in heterogeneous communities face difficulties in enforcing social norms across ethnic lines. We examine this proposition in a field experiment inv...
متن کاملEnhancing life after cancer in diverse communities.
BACKGROUND Although large numbers of cancer survivors exist in every community, including minority communities, there is a significant gap in knowledge about best practices for these patients. METHODS The Community Networks Program, funded by the National Cancer Institute Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, has developed and tested unique services for these communities. These programs...
