Lithic bacterial communities: ecological aspects focusing on Tintenstrich communities

The paper characterizes Tintenstrich bacterial communities on different rock substrates using Illumina sequencing and multivariate models, revealing Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria as dominant phyla and differences in diversity based on substrate type.

The microbiome of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria varies according to climate in Europe

This study examines how the bacterial microbiome of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria varies with climate across Europe, finding that climatic factors explain more variation than local weather or sampling season.
