Bacteria are single-celled organisms, but the survival of microbial communities relies on
complex dynamics at the molecular, cellular, and ecosystem scales. Antibiotic resistance, in …

Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the incidence of climate extremes.
Consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity can be highly detrimental, yet few studies …

Communities of microbes play important roles in natural environments and hold great
potential for deploying division-of-labor strategies in synthetic biology and bioproduction …

The co-occurrence networks and interactions of bacterial communities in sediments are
highly variable with environmental factors, which are vital to the nutrient biogeochemical …

Actinobacteria produce a variety of secondary metabolites that can influence the survival or
behaviour of other organisms. The understanding of the ecological roles of actinobacteria …

Co-composting is an excellent and effective technology for treating livestock manure in
