Chemical pollution is a major concern for freshwater ecosystems, but the impact and mechanisms of chemical stressors on communities are barely understood. Pollution stress beyond natural homeostatic capacities can trigger succession of tolerant species within a community, enhancing the overall co...
Microbial life in soil is fueled by dissolved organic matter (DOM) that leaches from the litter layer. It is well known that decomposer communities adapt to the available litter source, but it remains unclear if they functionally compete or synergistically address different litter types. Therefor...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-mediated differential composition and metabolism of rhizosphere microbial community. Using Syncoms containg Rhizophagus intraradices, Nigrospora oryzae and Talaromyces verruculosus.
Gut microbiota across animals have been shown to influence host cognition and behavior. However, it remains unclear whether these cognitive effects are driven by specific bacterial species or arise from community-level interactions. Here, we leveraged the honey bee (Apis mellifera) as a ...
The gut microbiota is essential to host health. Probiotics can be used as a microbiota targeted therapy to improve host health. However, probiotic molecular mechanisms of action and probiotics targeting the small intestinal microbiota are often not elucidated. In this study, we construct a three ...
