Simultaneous Assessment of Soil Microbial Community Structure and Function through Analysis of the Meta-Transcriptome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-06-25)Background: Soil ecosystems harbor the most complex prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities on Earth. Experimental approaches studying these systems usually focus on either the soil community’s taxonomic structure ... -
Hydrothermal vent fields and chemosynthetic biota on the world's deepest seafloor spreading centre
(Journal article, 2012-01-10)The Mid-Cayman spreading centre is an ultraslow-spreading ridge in the Caribbean Sea. Its extreme depth and geographic isolation from other mid-ocean ridges offer insights into the effects of pressure on hydrothermal ... -
Effects of soil organic matter properties and microbial community composition on enzyme activities in cryoturbated arctic soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-04)Enzyme-mediated decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is controlled, amongst other factors, by organic matter properties and by the microbial decomposer community present. Since microbial community composition and SOM ... -
Energy landscapes shape microbial communities in hydrothermal systems on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-09)Methods developed in geochemical modelling combined with recent advances in molecular microbial ecology provide new opportunities to explore how microbial communities are shaped by their chemical surroundings. Here, we ... -
Microbial community composition shapes enzyme patterns in topsoil and subsoil horizons along a latitudinal transect in Western Siberia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Soil horizons below 30 cm depth contain about 60% of the organic carbon stored in soils. Although insight into the physical and chemical stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM) and into microbial community composition ... -
The influence of vent systems on pelagic eukaryotic micro-organism composition in the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)
