The importance of microbial activity to ecosystem function in aquatic ecosystems is well
established, but microbial diversity has been less frequently addressed. This review and …

Freshwater bacteria are at the hub of biogeochemical cycles and control water quality in
lakes. Despite this, little is known about the identity and ecology of functionally significant …

In aquatic ecosystems, microplastics are a relatively new anthropogenic substrate that can
readily be colonized by biofilm‐forming organisms. To examine the effects of substrate type …

Background Microbes are main drivers of biogeochemical cycles in oceans and lakes.
Although the genome is a foundation for understanding the metabolism, ecology and …

Despite the development of several cultivation methods, the rate of discovery of
microorganisms that are yet-to-be cultivated outpaces the rate of isolating and cultivating …

In Arctic marine bacterial communities, members of the phylum Verrucomicrobia are
consistently detected, although not typically abundant, in 16S rRNA gene clone libraries and …

Variation in traits causes bacterial populations to respond in contrasting ways to
environmental drivers. Learning about this will help us understand the ecology of individual …

Location, specific topography, and hydrographic setting together with climate change and
strong anthropogenic pressure are the main factors shaping the biogeochemical functioning …

The presence of bacteria in aerosols has been known for centuries, but information on their
identity and role in dispersing microbial traits is still limited. This study monitored the …

Multiyear comparisons of bacterioplankton succession reveal that environmental conditions
drive community shifts with repeatable patterns between years. However, corresponding …
