Microbial Community Functional Change during Vertebrate Carrion Decomposition
Microorganisms play a critical role in the decomposition of organic matter, which contributes to energy and nutrient transformation in every ecosystem. Yet, little is known about the functional activity of epinecrotic microbial communities associated with carrion. The objective of this study was to provide a description of the carrion associated microbial community functional activity using dif...
متن کاملMicrobial community assembly and metabolic function during mammalian corpse decomposition.
Vertebrate corpse decomposition provides an important stage in nutrient cycling in most terrestrial habitats, yet microbially mediated processes are poorly understood. Here we combine deep microbial community characterization, community-level metabolic reconstruction, and soil biogeochemical assessment to understand the principles governing microbial community assembly during decomposition of m...
متن کاملDecomposition Odour Profiling in the Air and Soil Surrounding Vertebrate Carrion
Chemical profiling of decomposition odour is conducted in the environmental sciences to detect malodourous target sources in air, water or soil. More recently decomposition odour profiling has been employed in the forensic sciences to generate a profile of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by decomposed remains. The chemical profile of decomposition odour is still being debated wit...
متن کاملComputing support-minimal subfunctions during functional decomposition
The growing popularity of look-up table (LUT)based field programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s) has renewed the interest in functional or Roth–Karp decomposition techniques. Functional decomposition is a powerful decomposition method that breaks a Boolean function into a set of subfunctions and a composition function. Little attention has so far been given to the problem of selecting good subfunctio...
متن کاملControls on soil microbial community stability under climate change
Soil microbial communities are intricately linked to ecosystem functioning because they play important roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling. Still, we know little about how soil microbial communities will be affected by disturbances expected with climate change. This is a significant gap in understanding, as the stability of microbial communities, defined as a community's ability to resist and ...
