Interchange of entire communities: microbial community coalescence.
Microbial communities are enigmatically diverse. We propose a novel view of processes likely affecting microbial assemblages, which could be viewed as the Great American Interchange en miniature: the wholesale exchange among microbial communities resulting from moving pieces of the environment containing entire assemblages. Incidental evidence for such 'community coalescence' is accumulating, b...
متن کاملMicrobial Community Coalescence for Microbiome Engineering
Microbiome engineering, and especially plant host-mediated microbiome selection (Mueller and Sachs, 2015), is a recently introduced set of methods by which microbial communities are selected in order to maximize certain fitnessor performance-related host functions, most typically of plants, but also for animals. In essence this is a phenomenological approach, acknowledging the holobiont concept...
متن کاملMicrobial Communities
The recently sequenced genome of the parasitic bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium contains only 468 identified protein-coding genes that have been dubbed a minimal gene complement [Fraser, C. M., Gocayne, J. D., White, O., Adams, M. D., Clayton, R. A., et al. (1995) Science 270, 397-403]. Although the M. genitalium gene complement is indeed the smallest among known cellular life forms, there is no...
متن کاملModeling microbial communities: current, developing, and future technologies for predicting microbial community interaction.
Never has there been a greater opportunity for investigating microbial communities. Not only are the profound effects of microbial ecology on every aspect of Earth's geochemical cycles beginning to be understood, but also the analytical and computational tools for investigating microbial Earth are undergoing a rapid revolution. This environmental microbial interactome, the system of interaction...

Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract In initial ecosystems concentrations of all macro-and micronutrients can be considered as extremely low. Plant litter therefore strongly influences the development of a degraders' food web and is an important so...
