This study explored the short-term planktonic microbial community structure and resilience
in Lake Lanier (GA, USA) while simultaneously evaluating the technical aspects of …

Aquatic microbes, like all organisms, have biogeographies, but this subject has attracted
relatively little attention. In this review, recent results exploiting techniques of molecular …

Antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) are currently discussed as emerging environmental
contaminants. Hospital and municipal sewage are important sources of ARGs for the …

Although the health of rivers is threatened by multiple anthropogenic stressors with
increasing frequency, it remains an open question how riverine microbial communities …

Phosphorus is a key element controlling the productivity of freshwater ecosystems, and
microbes drive most of its relevant biogeochemistry. Eutrophic lakes are generally …

Bacteria have important roles in freshwater food webs and in the cycling of elements in the
ecosystem. Yet specific ecological features of individual phylogenetic groups and …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging environmental contaminants, known to be
continuously discharged into the aquatic environment via human and animal waste …

Factors influencing patterns in the distribution and abundance of plant and animal taxa
modulate ecosystem function and ecosystem response to environmental change, which is …

Aquatic bacterial communities play an important role in biogeochemical cycling in river
ecosystems; however, knowledge of the linkages between bacterial communities and …

This study used a genetic fingerprinting technique (automated ribosomal intergenic spacer
analysis [ARISA]) to characterize microbial communities from a culture-independent …
