Journal ArticleDOI
Archaea predominate among ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes in soils
Sven Leininger,Tim Urich,Michael Schloter,Lorenz Schwark,Ji Qi,Graeme W. Nicol,James I. Prosser,Stephan C. Schuster,Christa Schleper +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that archaeal ammonia oxidizers are more abundant in soils than their well-known bacterial counterparts, and crenarchaeota may be the most abundant ammonia-oxidizing organisms in soil ecosystems on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of soil pH on the diversity, abundance and transcriptional activity of ammonia oxidizing archaea and bacteria
TL;DR: Findings suggest that different bacterial and archaeal ammonia oxidizer phylotypes are selected in soils of different pH and that these differences in community structure and abundances are reflected in different contributions to ammonia oxidation activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant host habitat and root exudates shape soil bacterial community structure
Feth el Zahar Haichar,Christine Marol,Odile Berge,J. Ignacio Rangel-Castro,James I. Prosser,Jérôme Balesdent,Jérôme Balesdent,Thierry Heulin,Wafa Achouak +8 more
TL;DR: There was also evidence for an indirect important impact of root exudates, through stimulation of SOM assimilation by a diverse bacterial community, which significantly shaped rhizosphere bacterial community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of ecological theory in microbial ecology
James I. Prosser,Brendan J. M. Bohannan,Thomas P. Curtis,Richard J. Ellis,Mary K. Firestone,Robert P. Freckleton,Jessica L. Green,Laura E. Green,Ken Killham,Jack J. Lennon,A. Mark Osborn,Martin Solan,Christopher J. van der Gast,J. Peter W. Young +13 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the full potential of the ongoing revolution in microbial ecology will not be realized if research is not directed and driven by theory, and that the generality of established ecological theory must be tested using microbial systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria of the beta subdivision of the class Proteobacteria in coastal sand dunes by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S ribosomal DNA fragments.
George A. Kowalchuk,John R. Stephen,W.F. de Boer,James I. Prosser,T M Embley,J.W. Woldendorp +5 more
TL;DR: DGGE evaluated the identification of ammonia oxidizers of the beta subdivision of the Proteobacteria based on the mobility of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA fragments and for the analysis of mixtures of PCR products from this group generated by selective PCR of DNA extracted from coastal sand dunes.
