While often obvious for macroscopic organisms, determining whether a microbe is dead or
alive is fraught with complications. Fields such as microbial ecology, environmental health …

Elevated salinity is expected to drive changes in biogeochemical cycling and microbial
communities in estuarine and intertidal wetlands. However, limited information regarding the …

Estuarine ecosystem is a unique geographical transitional zone between freshwater and
seawater, harboring a wide range of microbial communities including Archaea. Although a …

Background Archaea are key mediators of estuarine biogeochemical cycles, but
comprehensive studies comparing archaeal communities among multiple estuaries with …

In either eutrophic Dianchi Lake or mesotrophic Erhai Lake, the abundance, diversity, and
structure of archaeaplankton communities in spring were different from those in summer. In …

Both bacteria and archaeal communities can play important roles in biogeochemical
processes in constructed wetland (CW) system. However, the influence of plant type on …

High-altitude wetland holds freshwater springs, evaporitic ponds and lagoon with variable
salinity and nutrients, potentially influencing the ecology of nitrifying communities. In this …

Background A majority of indoor residential microbes originate from humans, pets, and
outdoor air and are not adapted to the built environment (BE). Consequently, a large portion …

The response of freshwater bacterial community to anthropogenic disturbance has been
well documented, yet the studies of freshwater archaeal community are rare, especially in …

The Archaea are a widely distributed group of prokaryotes that inhabit and thrive in many
different environments. In the sea, they play key roles in various global biogeochemical …
