16S ribosomal RNA currently represents the most important target of study in bacterial ecology. Its use for description diversity is, however, limited by presence variable copy numbers genomes and sequence variation within closely related taxa or a genome. Here we information from sequenced to explore variability rRNA sequences at various taxonomic levels apply it estimate genome DNA abundances. In total, 7,081 were silico extracted 1,690 available (1–15 per genome). While there are several...
Abstract The reconstruction of bacterial and archaeal genomes from shotgun metagenomes has enabled insights into the ecology evolution environmental host-associated microbiomes. Here we applied this approach to >10,000 collected diverse habitats covering all Earth’s continents oceans, including human animal hosts, engineered environments, natural agricultural soils, capture extant microbial, metabolic functional potential. This comprehensive catalog includes 52,515 metagenome-assembled...
Organic matter decomposition in the globally widespread coniferous forests has an important role carbon cycle, and cellulose is especially this respect because most abundant polysaccharide plant litter. Cellulose was 10 times faster fungi-dominated litter of Picea abies forest than bacteria-dominated soil. In soil, added (13)C-labelled main source microbial respiration preferentially accumulated fungal biomass induced proliferation. contrast, litter, bacterial showed higher labelling after...
Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role this process is still unclear. Here we performed screening identification showing potential cellulolytic activity from litter organic soil a temperate oak forest. The genomes three isolates previously described as abundant ecosystem were sequenced proteomes characterized during growth on plant biomass microcrystalline cellulose. Pedobacter Mucilaginibacter...
Summary Understanding the ecology of coniferous forests is very important because these environments represent globally largest carbon sinks. Metatranscriptomics, microbial community and enzyme analyses were combined to describe detailed role taxa in functioning P icea abies ‐dominated forest soil two contrasting seasons. These seasons summer, representing peak plant photosynthetic activity, late winter, after an extended period with no photosynthate input. The results show that communities...
Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition terrestrial ecosystems. symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of Mucoromycotina, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. Considerable variation exists the capacity mycorrhizal to acquire carbon from soil organic matter. Here, we present a combined analysis 135 fungal genomes 73 saprotrophic, endophytic pathogenic species, 62 including 29 new genomes. This study samples ecologically dominant guilds for which...
Summary Fungi are the agents primarily responsible for transformation of plant‐derived carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known their responses to seasonal changes resource availability deciduous forests, including photosynthate allocation below ground and inputs fresh litter. Vertical stratification fungal abundance, activity community composition were investigated litter, organic upper mineral soils a temperate Quercus petraea forest using ergosterol extracellular enzyme...
There is growing evidence of the importance extramatrical mycelium (EMM) mycorrhizal fungi in carbon (C) cycling ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently been mainly based on laboratory experiments, and knowledge such basic parameters as variations mycelial production, standing biomass turnover well regulatory mechanisms behind forest soils limited. Presently, production EMM by ectomycorrhizal (EM) estimated at ~140 different sites to be up several hundreds kg per ha year,...
Abstract Motivation Modern molecular methods have increased our ability to describe microbial communities. Along with the advances brought by new sequencing technologies, we now require intensive computational resources make sense of large numbers sequences continuously produced. The software developed scientific community address this demand, although very useful, experience command-line environment, extensive training and steep learning curves, limiting their use. We created SEED 2, a...
