The tree root-mycorhizosphere plays a key role in resource uptake, but also the adaptation of forests to changing environments. adaptive foraging mechanisms ectomycorrhizal (EcM) and fine roots Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris Betula pendula were evaluated along gradient from temperate subarctic boreal forest (38 sites between latitudes 48°N 69°N) Europe. Variables describing uptake structures processes (absorptive root biomass morphology, nitrogen (N) concentration absorptive roots,...
To profile the seminal microbiome applying next generation sequencing.Semen samples of 67 men were involved in study (21 with and 46 without prostatitis). Seminal microbiomes profiled method that uses combinatorial sequence tags attached to polymerase chain reaction primers amplify ribosomal ribonucleic acid V6 region. Amplified products sequenced using an Illumina paired-end protocol on HiSeq2000 platform.The most abundant phylum semen was Firmicutes, comprising nearly half sequences found...
Abstract The pollution of agricultural soils by the heavy metals affects productivity land and has an impact on quality surrounding ecosystems. This study investigated bacterial community structure in metal contaminated sites along a smelter distantly located paddy field to elucidate factors that are related alterations communities under conditions pollution. Among sites, soil did not show any significant differences their richness diversity. at three were distinct from one another each...
Soil microbes play a fundamental role in forest ecosystems and respond rapidly to changes the environment. Simultaneously with temperature increase climate change scenarios also predict an intensified hydrological cycle for Baltic Sea runoff region. The aim of this study was assess effect elevated air humidity on top soil microbial community structure silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) stand by using free manipulation facility (FAHM). bacterial structures bulk rhizosphere were analysed...
Oral microbiome has significant impact on both oral and general health. Polyols have been promoted as sugar substitutes in prevention of diseases. We aimed to reveal the effect candies containing erythritol, xylitol or control (sorbitol) salivary microbiome.Ninety children (11.3 ± 0.6 years) consumed during 3 years. Microbial communities were profiled using Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing real-time PCR.The dominant phyla saliva Firmicutes (39.1%), Proteobacteria (26.1%), Bacteroidetes...
Abstract The residues from human environments often contain antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes ( ARG s) that can contaminate natural environments; the clearest consequence of is selection antibiotic‐resistant bacteria. B altic S ea second largest isolated brackish water reservoir on Earth, serving as a drainage area for people in 14 countries, which differ one another use sewage treatment policies. aim this study was to characterize bacterioplankton structure quantify s tetA , tetB...
Dynamics of bacterial community abundance and structure a newly established horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) pilot-scale wetland were studied using high-throughput sequencing quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Bacterial increased rapidly within one month stabilised thereafter in three replicate HSSF constructed (CW) mesocosms. The most dominant phylum was Proteobacteria, followed by Bacteroidetes media biofilms Firmicutes influent wastewater. CW diversity over time...
