Revealing low abundant but highly active nitrifiers in coastal sediments

University of Glasgow College of Science and Engineering

Nitrification is a key global biogeochemical pathway oxidising the most reduced form of nitrogen –ammonia (NH. 3. ), to nitrite (NO) (ammonia oxidation, AO) and then nitrate (nitrite oxidation, NO). Read more

Modelling the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

From the human gut to deep-sea sediments, microbial communities – or microbiomes – colonize virtually every habitat on earth. These microbiomes are central to ecosystem functioning and to host health, and therefore it is essential that we understand how and why they change over time. Read more

Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more

Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more
