A central goal in ecology is to understand the spatial scaling of biodiversity. Patterns in the
spatial distribution of organisms provide important clues about the underlying mechanisms …

Green macroalgae, such as Ulvales, lose their typical morphology completely when grown
under axenic conditions or in the absence of the appropriate microbiome. As a result, slow …

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse of all marine ecosystems; however, very little is known
about prokaryotic diversity in these systems. To address this issue, we sequenced over 1000 …

Small organisms (less than 1 millimeter in length) tend to have a cosmopolitan distribution.
This is a consequence of huge absolute population sizes rather than any inherent properties …

Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Third Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance
to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation …

The background for and the subsequent impact on biological oceanography of the article
Azam et al.[Azam, F., Fenchel, T., Field, JG, Gray, JS, Meyer-Reil, LA, Thingstad, F. 1983 …

The culturability of abundant members of the domain Bacteria in North Sea bacterioplankton
was investigated by a combination of various cultivation strategies and cultivation …

We describe a nitrogenase gene sequence database that facilitates analysis of the evolution
and ecology of nitrogen-fixing organisms. The database contains 32 954 aligned …

Soil salinity is the major cause limiting plant productivity worldwide. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
were enriched and characterised from roots of Salicornia brachiata, an extreme halophyte …

Distinct partitioning has been observed in the composition and diversity of bacterial
communities inhabiting the surface and overlying seawater of three coral species infected …
