Summary: The study found a positive correlation between aridity levels and the proportion of archaeal genes and proteins in soil, as well as highlighted how the interaction of climate and vegetation shapes the functional profile of archaeal communities.

Summary: This study compared the bacterial communities in soil of two mangrove forest sites in the Panama Bay and found that the community was more diverse in the rural mangrove forest. The dominant phyla of bacteria shared between the two sites were Proteobacteria, Desulfobacterota, and Chloroflexi. The relative abundance of certain bacterial genera increased in the transition from dry to rainy season in the urban mangrove forest.

Summary: The study identified the bacterial communities associated with the plasmodia of six myxomycetes species and found that while the bacterial composition varied among species, there was a high similarity in the functional composition of the bacterial communities. The enrichment for gram-negative and aerobic bacteria in plasmodia suggests that myxomycetes may selectively recruit certain bacteria from the environment.

Summary: Slit lamps are commonly used for examining numerous patients and are often contaminated with bacteria from human skin, mucosa, and possibly eyes. The study showed a diverse bacterial microbiota on slit lamps, emphasizing the importance of thorough cleaning and disinfection to prevent infections.

Summary: Plastics accumulate in the polluted Mediterranean Sea, forming the plastisphere. The composition of microbial community on plastic is influenced by the sampling site and polymer chemical composition. Enrichment cultures show the presence of plastic-degrading microorganisms with potential role in plastic degradation.

Summary: This study evaluated the co-occurrence relationships between archaeal taxonomic groups and soil physicochemical characteristics in Amazonian soil under different land use systems. It was found that certain archaeal classes dominated in primary and secondary forests, while others were more prevalent in agricultural systems and pastures. The number of co-occurrences between archaeal groups was lower in secondary forests, agricultural systems, and pastures compared to primary forests. These results suggest that soil texture may play a role in mediating interactions between archaeal groups.

Summary: Soil organic carbon (SOC) is important for soil health and climate change mitigation. Plant and soil microbial communities can serve as indicators of SOC concentrations and future changes. Combining these ecological indicators can improve the prediction of SOC concentration and changes.

Summary: This study examined the diversity of symbiotic bacteria in different populations of tsetse species and found that the bacterial communities were influenced by the origin of the tsetse flies. The larval microbiota was significantly different from the adults, and the sex and species did not significantly influence the bacterial profile in laboratory colonies. Wigglesworthia, Acinetobacter, Sodalis, and Wolbachia were the most abundant bacterial genera observed.

Summary: This study assessed the microbial community in the rhizosphere of maize and cowpea grown in Cr-contaminated soils using amplicon sequencing. The results showed that the microbial community in the maize rhizosphere clustered together, while the microbial community in the cowpea rhizosphere did not present clear clustering. Furthermore, Cr contamination had different effects on specific bacterial groups in the rhizospheres of maize and cowpea.

Summary: This study found that the effect of drying-rewetting cycles on the dissipation of DEHP in different types of soils is mainly derived from microbial degradation in Lou soil, while the interplay between microbial functions and soil attributes contributes to the promotion of DEHP dissipation in Red soil.

Summary: This study explored the bacterial diversity of marine mucilage in the Marmara Sea and the North Aegean Sea using the metabarcoding approach. The results showed a diverse bacterial community dominated by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes species. The study also identified correlations between pH levels and the abundances of certain bacterial orders, as well as a positive correlation between total phosphorus and one bacterial order.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of various degrees of long-term cadmium pollution on soil microorganisms at different soil depths. The results showed that cadmium contamination reduced the richness and diversity of soil microbes, significantly impacting the microbial communities in the polluted underlying soil layer, while leading to an increase in species richness in the mildly and severely polluted surface soils. This research provides insights into how long-term heavy metal contamination affects soil bacterial communities.

Summary: The dominant phyla in subtropical forest soils were Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria, with soil pH, organic matter, total N, hydrolysable N, available P, NO3 , and NH4+ significantly correlated with prokaryotic community structure and diversity. Soil layer and forest type had significant impacts on prokaryotic community structure, while season did not show a significant correlation with prokaryotic community structure or diversity.
