Statistical analysis of the time-course of Biolog substrate utilization
TLDR
Two methods for examining growth of a microbial community on a particular Biolog substrate using cluster analysis and principal coordinate analysis and an analysis of summary statistics of the profiles, to identify substrates whose profiles distinguish different treatments are described.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem response of pasture soil communities to fumigation-induced microbial diversity reductions: an examination of the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship
Bryan S. Griffiths,Karl Ritz,Richard D. Bardgett,Roger Cook,Soren Christensen,Flemming Ekelund,Søren J. Sørensen,Erland Bååth,Jaap Bloem,P.C. de Ruiter,Jan Dolfing,B. Nicolardot +11 more
TL;DR: Although fumigation reduced soil microbial biodiversity, there was evidence to suggest that it selected for organisms with particular physiological characteristics, and specific functional parameters may be a more sensitive indicator of environmental change than general parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of microbial community functional diversity using sole-carbon-source utilisation profiles - a critique.
TL;DR: The basis of the approach is summarised, including type of plate to use, treatment of samples, replication, incubation conditions, monitoring of plates, and statistical analysis, and methodological difficulties are considered.

TL;DR: The development of effective methods for studying the diversity, distribution, and behavior of microorganisms in soil habitats is essential for a broader understanding of soil health.

Impact of Protozoan Grazing on Bacterial Community Structure in Soil Microcosms
TL;DR: The composition ofprotozoan communities is important for the effect of protozoan grazing on bacterial communities, and size-selective feeding may explain some but not all of the changes in bacterial community structure.

An examination of the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship in arable soil microbial communities
Bryan S. Griffiths,Karl Ritz,Ron E. Wheatley,H. L. Kuan,Brian Boag,Soren Christensen,Flemming Ekelund,Søren J. Sørensen,S Muller,Jaap Bloem +9 more
TL;DR: The biodiversity of, and inter-relationships within, the microbial communities was such that the experimental reductions had no direct effects on soil function.

Analysis of longitudinal data
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized linear model for longitudinal data and transition models for categorical data are presented. But the model is not suitable for categric data and time dependent covariates are not considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Longitudinal Data.
TL;DR: Van Der Heijden et al. as discussed by the authors used correspondence analysis for the analysis of transitions between more than two time points, where the transition matrix is the product of the margins of the table divided by the total sample size.
