Low determinism in pelagic fungal community assembly across climate zones in Scandinavian lakes

This study examines fungal community assembly in Scandinavian lakes, finding low determinism and significant variability not explained by environmental factors or geographic distance.

A matter of salt: global assessment of the effect of salt ionic composition as a driver of aquatic bacterial diversity

This study assesses how ionic composition affects microbial diversity in inland saline aquatic habitats, finding it explains more variability than salinity or geographic location.

Seasonal eDNA-based monitoring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian species in Norway

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding and qPCR to monitor amphibian diversity and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Norway, finding low extinction risk due to limited Bd presence.

Detecting aquatic pathogens with field-compatible dried qPCR assays

The paper develops and tests qPCR assays for aquatic pathogens that remain viable after drying, enabling field use for pathogen monitoring.

Disturbance-based management of ecosystem services and disservices in partial nitritation anammox biofilms

The paper shows that disturbances can alter functional redundancy in PNA biofilms by affecting Nitrospira, Brocadia, and Nitrosomonas differently, suggesting disturbance-based management for wastewater treatment.

Neural networks and extreme gradient boosting predict multiple thresholds and trajectories of microbial biodiversity responses due to browning

The paper uses machine learning to show non-monotonic relationships between microbial diversity and browning in freshwater lakes, revealing thresholds and alternative diversity trajectories.

Effects of long-term warming and enhanced nitrogen and sulfur deposition on microbial communities in a boreal peatland

This study examines the long-term effects of warming and nitrogen/sulfur deposition on boreal peatland microbial communities and finds additive rather than synergistic effects from combined perturbations.

Novel autotrophic organisms contribute significantly to the internal carbon cycling potential of a boreal lake

The paper shows that autotrophic carbon fixation and internal carbon cycling are significant in a boreal lake, even below the euphotic zone, driven by chemolithotrophic organisms.

Vitamin and amino acid auxotrophy in anaerobic consortia operating under methanogenic condition

The paper investigates microbial consortia under methanogenic conditions, revealing auxotrophy for vitamins and amino acids and complex interactions beyond traditional syntrophy.

Model communities hint to promiscuous metabolic linkages between ubiquitous free-living freshwater bacteria

The paper investigates metabolic interactions among free-living freshwater bacteria and finds they form loose, unspecific cooperative networks rather than specific dependencies.
