Although the richness of Bacteria and Fungi in Cerrado'soils has been reported, here we
report, for the first time, the archaeal community in Cerrado's soils. DNA extracted from soil of …

Purpose The slightly exuberant appearance suggests a misleading idea of an insignificant
diversity of microorganisms in Cerrado soils. Thus, a review is necessary, gathering …

We used 16S rRNA sequencing to assess the archaeal communities across a gradient of
Cerrado. The archaeal communities differed across the gradient. Crenarcheota was the …

Aims: To evaluate archaeal diversity in natural and impacted habitats from Rio de Janeiro
state, Brazil, a tropical region of South America. Methods and Results: 16S rRNA gene was …

The study of the ecology of soil microbial communities at relevant spatial scales is primordial
in the wide Amazon region due to the current land use changes. In this study, the diversity of …

Soil from the Amazonian region is usually regarded as unsuitable for agriculture because of
its low organic matter content and low pH; however, this region also contains extremely rich …

The Cerrado is a biome that corresponds to 24% of Brazil's territory. Only recently microbial
communities of this biome have been investigated. Here we describe for the first time the …

This study compared soil archaeal communities of the Amazon forest with that of an adjacent
area under oil palm cultivation by 16S ribosomal RNA gene pyrosequencing. Species …

Until recently, few studies were carried out in Brazil about diversity of bacterial soil
communities. Aiming to characterize the bacterial population in the soil through 16S rRNA …

The Cerrado biome corresponds to an extensive area of Brazil and is considered a
biodiversity hotspot. Frequent fires are a natural feature in this biome and have influences …
