Ammonium oxidation by bacteria and archaea have functional implications for nitrification across a forested landscape by Jennifer Wen, Rima Upchurch, Donald R. Zak

“…Generally, AOA and AOB turnover were positively associated with soil pH; however, some AOA taxa also displayed a negative association. Interestingly, the relative abundance of only a small number of AOA and AOB taxa was significantly associated with net nitrification rates. …”

Influence of selected dosages of plastic microparticles on the porcine fecal microbiome by Ismena Gałęcka, Andrzej Rychlik, Jarosław Całka

“…Depending on the research model used, the effect on the microbiome is different—an increase or decrease in selected taxa resulting in the development of dysbiosis. Dysbiosis may be associated with intestinal inflammation, development of mental disorders or diabetes. …”

Host dispersal relaxes selective pressures in rafting microbiomes and triggers successional changes by William S. Pearman, Grant A. Duffy, Robert O. Smith, Kim I. Currie, Neil J. Gemmell, Sergio E. Morales, Ceridwen I. Fraser

“…We find that once dislodged from coastal shores and adrift, kelp-associated microbial communities change profoundly—the core microbes found on attached kelp give way to a few abundant taxa and many rare taxa. Changes in microbial species richness and composition are strongly linked to variability in sea surface temperature rather than length of time spent rafting. …”
