Microbial EcologyRelationship between Microorganisms Inhabiting Alkaline Siliceous Hot Spring Mat Communities and Overflowing WaterIn flowing aquatic systems, cell erosion and deposition are important to the dispersal of cells from one location to another. Very little is known about microbial dispersal and the physical processes that underlie it. This study demonstrates its importance to colonization of downstream surfaces and especially to the recolonization and functioning of disturbed sites. Ecological systems in flowing environments are often, roughly speaking...
Microbial EcologyPrimer Design for an Accurate View of Picocyanobacterial Community Structure by Using High-Throughput SequencingThe molecular diversity of the aquatic picocyanobacterial community cannot be accurately described using only the available universal 16S rRNA gene primers that target the whole bacterial and archaeal community. We show that the hypervariable regions V5, V6, and V7 of the 16S rRNA gene are better suited to study the diversity, community structure, and dynamics of picocyanobacterial communities at a fine scale using Illumina MiSeq...
