Disentangling microbial networks across pelagic zones in the tropical and subtropical global ocean

IM Deutschmann, E Delage, CR Giner… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Microbial interactions are vital in maintaining ocean ecosystem function, yet their dynamic
nature and complexity remain largely unexplored. Here, we use association networks to …

Interspecific barrier effect driven by heavy metals makes soil bacterial functional assembly more stochastic

S Liu, Y Shi, J Chen, Z Zhang, H Cao, W Li… - Environmental Research, 2024 - Elsevier
Residual heavy metals in soils will destroy microbial community stability and influence its
aggregation. However, exploring microbial ecology under heavy-metal stress still requires a …

Predictable functional biogeography of marine microbial heterotrophs

EJ Zakem, J McNichol, JL Weissman, Y Raut, L Xu… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Microbial heterotrophs (picoheterotrophs') drive global carbon cycling, but how to
quantitatively organize their functional complexity remains unclear. Here, we generate a …
