THE IMPACTS CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITY ON TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM CARBON CYCLING
(2019-12)
There is a near consensus among climate scientists that global temperatures are rising, climate variability will increase, and climate extremes will become more extreme. What is debated, however, is how terrestrial ecosystems ...
MACRONUTRIENTS SHAPE MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES, GENE EXPRESSION AND PROTEIN EVOLUTION
(2017-05-10)
Nutrient limitation of the principle macronutrients carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are known to influence community structure, success of individual species, and over long enough time could, in theory, shape the evolution ...
Identification and characterization of novel components in brassinosteroid signaling and biosynthetic pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2010)
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal hormones essential for normal plant growth and development. To dissect the essential role of BRs in plants, a gain-of-function approach, activation tagging, was used to identify components ...
IMPROVING GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE MODELS WITH OBSERVATIONS
(2014-05)
In the future warming world terrestrial ecosystems may mitigate increasing temperatures by sequestering CO₂ from the atmosphere, or they can intensify future global change, amplifying the rate of CO₂ production in response ...
Metabolite-profiling to assess <italic>in<italic><italic> situ<italic> anaerobic microbial hydrocarbon degradation in diverse environments
(2010)
It is evident that complete mineralization of hydrocarbons and related compounds can occur under anaerobic conditions. A large variety of hydrocarbon classes have been shown to be amenable to decay by enriched microbial ...
Remote sensing analysis of croplands, woody plant encroachment and carbon fluxes of woody savanna
(2017-05-12)
Since 1990s, much attention has been paid to Land use/land cover change (LULCC) studies because it is an important component of global change. The vegetation change is a critical factor of land cover changes, which interacts ...
RESPONSES OF COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING TO CLIMATE CHANGE – META-ANALYSIS, MODELING, EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DATA-MODEL FUSION
(2015)
Observations, experimental studies and modeling endeavors all show that global climate change, mainly increased surface air temperature and associated change in precipitation regime, has caused impacts on plant community ...
Enzymes involved in energy conservation via substrate-level phosphorylation in the syntrophic benzoate degrader, Syntrophus aciditrophicus
(2014-05)
Syntrophus aciditrophicus (SB) degrades benzoate, cyclohexane-1-carboxylate and certain fatty acids in syntrophic association with hydrogen/formate-using microorganisms and ferments crotonate in pure culture. ATP formation ...
Polyphasic Taxonomy: A Tool to Identify and Characterize Members of Complex Microbial Communities
(2014-12)
Systematics is a fundamental discipline that underpins the science of microbiology, providing a framework that allows for the identification, classification, taxonomy, and nomenclature of single cell organisms. Since the ...
Investigations of interspecies transfer mechanisms important to syntrophic metabolism
(2011)
Syntrophy is a tightly coupled mutualistic interaction among microorganisms that is essential for the global cycling of carbon in essentially all anaerobic environments. Syntrophic degradation of aromatic, alicyclic and ...
