Stable Isotope Probing of Microorganisms in Environmental Samples with H218O.
TL;DR: By measuring how much the DNA of each taxon becomes enriched with 18O when an environmental sample is incubated with H218O, it is feasible to quantify that population's DNA replication rate, which is a proxy for growth.

TL;DR: In this article , a 13C-labeling experiment was conducted to test whether different microbial traits influenced the transformation of plant C into soil organic carbon within the microbial habitats surrounding living root inputs (rhizosphere) versus decaying root litter (detritusphere), under both normal soil moisture and droughted conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
mRNA, rRNA and DNA quantitative stable isotope probing with H218O indicates use of old rRNA among soil Thaumarchaeota
TL;DR: It was showed that 18O incorporation into thaumarchaeal nucleic acids was generally low, indicating slower turnover rates compared to bacteria, and potentially suggesting thaum archaeal capability for preservation and efficient reuse of biomolecules.

TL;DR: The Carbon Acquisition Ecological Strategies (CAES) as mentioned in this paper is a new framework for soil microorganisms that incorporates microbial biodiversity into ecosystem models using this framework to enhance predictions of soil carbon feedbacks to global change.
