Gut microbiota can crucially influence behavior and neurodevelopment. Dogs show unique similarities to humans in their physiology may naturally develop dementia-like cognitive decline. We assessed 29 pet dogs’ performance a memory test analyzed the bacterial 16S rRNA gene from fecal samples collected right after behavioral tests. The major phyla identified dog microbiomes were Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, each represented by >20% of total community. Fewer Fusobacteria found...
Soda lime is a by-product of the Solvay soda process for production sodium carbonate from limestone and chloride. Due to high salt concentration alkaline pH, considered as potential habitat haloalkaliphilic haloalkalitolerant microbial communities. This artificial unique environment nutrient-poor devoid vegetation, due in part semi-arid, saline conditions. Samples taken surface layer depth 2 m (both having pH ~11 ECe up 423 dS m−1) were investigated using culture-based (culturing on medium)...
Abstract Aim Waterbirds are important dispersal vectors of multicellular organisms; however, no study to date has focused on their potential role in dispersing aquatic microbial communities. We explicitly studied endozoochory prokaryotes and unicellular microeukaryotes by waterbirds using DNA metabarcoding. By directly comparing the dispersed set organisms source pool a natural metacommunity, we aimed at realistic estimate importance waterbird zoochory for Location Temporary saline soda pans...
Bacillus sp. is one of the best-studied plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). However, more detailed studies targeting its effect on rhizosphere microbial community are required for improving management practices regarding commercial application in field. Our earlier study showed that PGPR paralicheniformis 2R5 stimulated canola growth. Hence, this aimed to assess time-course impact B. bacterial and fungal structure diversity. The results inoculation with initially significantly...
Inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an eco-friendly sustainable strategy for improving crop productivity in diverse environments under different conditions. Our earlier study demonstrated that Pseudomonas sivasensis 2RO45 significantly stimulated canola (Brassica napus L. var. napus) growth. The aim of the present was to investigate structural and functional dynamics rhizosphere microbiome after inoculation PGPR P. 2RO45. results based on alpha diversity metrics...
Cupriavidus sp. are model organisms for heavy metal(loid) resistance and aromatic compound's degradation studies these characteristics make them a perfect candidate biotechnological purposes. Bacterial strain S14E4C (identified as campinensis) was isolated from playground by enrichment method in 0.25 mM containing medium. The analysis revealed that this bacterium is able to tolerate high concentrations of metal(loid)s: Cd up 19.5 mM, Pb 9 Hg 5.5 As 2 salt nutrient whole genome data the type...
Microbial ecology of permafrost, due to its ecological and astrobiological importance, has been in the focus studies past decades. Although permafrost is an ancient stable environment, it also subjected current climate changes. Permafrost degradation often results generation thaw ponds, a phenomenon not only reported mainly from polar regions but present high-altitude environments. Our knowledge about microbial communities ponds these unique, remote mountain habitats sparse. This study...
We tested whether chemical content of individual Tansy plants influences aboveground arthropod and belowground soil microbial community composition. use defence composition as focus for our analysis, given that changes in are a dominant mechanism expected to modify nutrient cycling. Detailed assessment food webs were made on tansy chemotypes. Next generation DNA analyses used assess bacterial community. defended by Camphor Borneol had higher total diversity than control (soils under...
Habitat loss and fragmentation are growing global threats to natural habitats their networks, posing significant challenges biodiversity conservation. Globally, ponds sharply declining in number because small size makes them highly vulnerable land use changes. While it is generally agreed that connectivity habitat networks crucial for sustaining biodiversity, the effect of on patterns over small‐scaled has so far received less attention given general assumption metacommunities lack spatial...
Winter conditions in aquatic habitats of the temperate zone markedly differ from those present warmer seasons, nevertheless, relatively scarce information is available on planktonic microbial composition, as sites are not easily accessible and it was supposed traditionally that activity low during this cold period. Since microorganisms could have great impact ecosystem even winter, we explored various Eastern Carpathians regarding abundance taxonomic composition microorganisms. Although many...
Little is known about how various substances from living and decomposing aquatic macrophytes affect the horizontal patterns of planktonic bacterial communities. Study sites were located within Lake Kolon, which a freshwater marsh can be characterised by open-water small ponds with different macrovegetation (Phragmites australis, Nymphea alba Utricularia vulgaris). Our aim was to reveal impact these on composition microbial communities using comparative analysis environmental parameters,...
In this study, different maize fields cultivated under management systems were sampled to test corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis, populations in terms of total and endosymbiotic bacterial diversity. Corn aphid natural collected from traditionally managed grown high agricultural landscape diversity as well conventionally treated high-input monoculture with fertilizers use, hence low Total community assessment by DNA sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq platform. total, 365...
This study evaluates the changes in bacterial and archaeal community structure during gradual evaporation of water from brine (extracted subsurface Jurassic deposits) system graduation towers located Ciechocinek spa, Poland. The communities were assessed with 16S rRNA gene sequencing (MiSeq, Illumina) microscopic methods. microbial cell density determined by direct count was at order magnitude 107 cells/mL. It found that increasing salt concentration positively correlated both counts,...
Three Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase positive, rod-shaped, pink-coloured bacterial strains, DMA-K-7aT, DMA-K-1 DMG-N-1, were isolated from water sampled at Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains form a distinct linage within family Cytophagaceae of phylum Bacteroidetes, their closest relatives are Rhabdobacter roseus R49T (95.66 %) Dyadobacter sediminis Z12T (95.38 %). The...
Abstract Astatic soda pans of the Pannonian Steppe are unique environments with respect to their multiple extreme physical and chemical characteristics (high daily water temperature fluctuation, high turbidity, alkaline pH, salinity, polyhumic organic carbon concentration, hypertrophic state special ionic composition). However, little is known about seasonal dynamics bacterial communities inhabiting these lakes role environmental factors that have main impact on structure. Therefore, two...
The Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped yellow-coloured bacterial strain MG-N-17 T was isolated from a water sample of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Results phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that forms distinct linage within family Verrucomicrobiaceae phylum Verrucomicrobia , its closest relatives are Verrucomicrobium spinosum DSM 4136 (94.38 %) Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum DC2a-G7 (91.55 %). novel...
