Temporal patterns of rarity provide a more complete view of microbial diversity
A Shade, JA Gilbert - Trends in microbiology, 2015 - cell.com
Recently, conditionally rare taxa (CRTs)–those taxa that are typically in very low abundance
but occasionally achieve prevalence–were shown to contribute to patterns of microbial …

Effect of zinc and iron oxide nanoparticles on plant physiology, seed quality and microbial community structure in a rice-soil-microbial ecosystem
In this study, we assessed the impact of zinc oxide (ZnO) and iron oxide (FeO)(< 36 nm)
nanoparticles (NPs) as well as their sulphate salt (bulk) counterpart (0, 25, 100 mg/kg) on …

Low abundant soil bacteria can be metabolically versatile and fast growing
V Kurm, WH Van Der Putten, W De Boer… - Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The abundance of species is assumed to depend on their life history traits, such as growth
rate and resource specialization. However, this assumption has not been tested for bacteria …
