The atmosphere is an integral component of the Earth's microbiome. Abundance, viability,
and diversity of microorganisms circulating in the air are determined by various factors …

Numerous diverse microorganisms reside in the cold desert soils of continental Antarctica,
though we lack a holistic understanding of the metabolic processes that sustain them. Here …

Generalists can survive in many environments, whereas specialists are restricted to a single
environment. Although a classical concept in ecology, niche breadth has remained …

Introduction Microbial generalists and specialists are thought to have distinct impacts on
community dynamics, while there have been limited efforts to estimate their contribution to …

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an abundant and readily accessible energy source in marine
systems, but it remains unknown whether marine microbial communities consume this gas …

The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable
(sand) sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide-and wave-driven …

Subducting oceanic crusts release fluids rich in biologically relevant compounds into the
overriding plate, fueling subsurface chemolithoautotrophic ecosystems. To understand the …

Soil microbiomes are sensitive to current and previous soil conditions, and bacterial
'bioindicators' of biological, physical, and chemical soil properties have considerable …

The mammalian intestine harbors heterogeneous distribution of microbes among which
specific taxa (eg Lactobacillus) dominate across mammals. Deterministic factors such as …
