Effect of nutrient periodicity on microbial community dynamics.
When microbes are subjected to temporal changes in nutrient availability, growth rate and substrate affinity can contribute to competitive fitness and thereby affect microbial community structure. This hypothesis was tested using planktonic bacterial communities exposed to nutrient additions at 1-, 3-, 7-, or 14-day intervals. Growth rates after nutrient addition were inversely proportional to ...
متن کاملDo phages impact microbial dynamics, prokaryotic community structure and nutrient dynamics in Lake Bourget?
Phages are the most abundant and diversified biological entities in aquatic ecosystems. Understanding their functional role requires laboratory experiments on a short time-scale. Using samples of surface waters of Lake Bourget, we studied whether viruses impact (i) the abundance patterns of the bacterial and phytoplankton communities, (ii) a part of the prokaryotic community composition (both f...
متن کاملMicrobial community dynamics in MFCs
38 The performance and dynamics of the bacterial communities in the biofilm and suspended 39 culture in the anode chamber of sucrose-fed microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were studied by using 40 Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified partial 16S rRNA genes 41 followed by species identification by sequencing. The power density of MFCs was correlated to 42 the relative proport...
متن کاملNutrient Addition Dramatically Accelerates Microbial Community Succession
The ecological mechanisms driving community succession are widely debated, particularly for microorganisms. While successional soil microbial communities are known to undergo predictable changes in structure concomitant with shifts in a variety of edaphic properties, the causal mechanisms underlying these patterns are poorly understood. Thus, to specifically isolate how nutrients--important dri...
متن کاملSpecies Coexistence in Nitrifying Chemostats: A Model of Microbial Interactions
In a previous study, the two nitrifying functions (ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) or nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB)) of a nitrification reactor—operated continuously over 525 days with varying inputs—were assigned using a mathematical modeling approach together with the monitoring of bacterial phylotypes. Based on these theoretical identifications, we develop here a chemostat model that doe...
