Microhabitat accessibility determines peptide substrate degradation by soil microbial community by Carlos Arellano-Caicedo, Pelle Ohlsson, Saleh Moradi, Edith C. Hammer

“…We think that the increased degradation activity in low accessibility mazes might be due to the reduced interactions within the microbial communities which leads to a reduction in competition. Lowered competition allows different communities with a wide range of metabolic strategies to cohabit in the structures, which resulted in a bulk increase of the peptide substrate degradation.IMPORTANCEThe role microbes have in the environment is highly influenced by the characteristics of their habitat. …”

Childhood peer status and circulatory disease in adulthood: a prospective cohort study in Stockholm, Sweden by Alexander Miething, Ylva Brännström Almquist

“…Objectives Childhood conditions have been recognised as important predictors of short-term and long-term health outcomes, but few studies have considered status position in the peer group as a possible determinant of adult health. Lower peer status, which often reflects experiences of marginalisation and rejection by peers, may impose inequality experiences and leave long-lasting imprints on health. …”
