Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate analyses in microbial ecology.
TL;DR: Here, well-established exploratory and hypothesis-driven approaches are reviewed, so as to foster their addition to the microbial ecologist toolbox.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bacterial species definition in the genomic era
TL;DR: The analysis of five important bacterial groups suggests, however, that more stringent standards for species may be justifiable when a solid understanding of gene content and ecological distinctiveness becomes available and the idea of biologically meaningful clusters of diversity may not be universally applicable in the microbial world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of bacterial beta-diversity in seafloor and seawater ecosystems.
Lucie Zinger,Linda A. Amaral-Zettler,Jed A. Fuhrman,M. Claire Horner-Devine,Susan M. Huse,David B. Mark Welch,Jennifer B. H. Martiny,Mitchell L. Sogin,Antje Boetius,Antje Boetius,Alban Ramette,Alban Ramette +11 more
TL;DR: This first synthesis of global bacterial distribution across different ecosystems of the World's oceans shows remarkable horizontal and vertical large-scale patterns in bacterial communities, opening interesting perspectives for the definition of biogeographical biomes for bacteria of ocean waters and the seabed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial patterns and links between microbial community composition and function in cyanobacterial mats

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the spatial variability in the photosynthetic capacity and light acclimation of benthic phototrophic microbial communities is at least as large on a sub-millimeter scale as it is on a global scale, and suggests that this pattern of variability scaling is similar for the microbial community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiscale responses of microbial life to spatial distance and environmental heterogeneity in a patchy ecosystem.
Alban Ramette,James M. Tiedje +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that whole-genome similarities may reflect the simultaneous effects of both SD and EH in microbial populations, but the pure effects of each factor only contributed to <2% of the total genetic variation.
