Journal ArticleDOI
Prokaryotes: The unseen majority
TL;DR: The number of prokaryotes and the total amount of their cellular carbon on earth are estimated to be 4-6 x 10(30) cells and 350-550 Pg of C (1 Pg = 10(15) g), respectively, which is 60-100% of the estimated total carbon in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria in the leaf ecosystem with emphasis on Pseudomonas syringae-a pathogen, ice nucleus, and epiphyte.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the bacterial component of leaf microbial communities, with emphasis on P. syringae—a species that participates in leaf ecosystems as a pathogen, ice nucleus, and epiphyte, to illustrate the attractiveness and somewhat unique opportunities provided by leaf ecosystems for addressing fundamental questions of microbial population dynamics and mechanisms of plant-bacterium interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria and archaea on Earth and their abundance in biofilms
TL;DR: It is proposed that biofilms drive all biogeochemical processes and represent the main way of active bacterial and archaeal life and are the most prominent and influential type of microbial life.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology and Biogeography of Microorganisms on Plant Surfaces.
John H. Andrews,R. F. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: The vast surface of the plant axis, stretching from root tips occasionally buried deeply in anoxic sediment, to apical meristems held far aloft, provides an extraordinarily diverse habitat for microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of soil drying on humus decomposition and nitrogen availability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that when a dry soil is moistened, a characteristic pattern of decomposition occurs in which an initial period of relatively rapid decomposition (Stage 1) falls, during a few days, to a slow steady rate (Stage 2).
Book ChapterDOI
Mineralization of Organic Nitrogen in Soil
G. W. Harmsen,D.A. van Schreven +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews important papers of research in the field of mineralization of organic nitrogen in soil, beginning with the years preceding World War II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some observations on the microbial activity in remoistened air-dried soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the degree by which metabolic activity increases in remoistened air-dried soils varies directly with the concentrations of free amino acids and other nitrogenous materials released by the air drying process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Studies on the Wetting of Leaves by Water
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the diurnal variations in the contact angle of water on leaves are caused by changes in the degree of corrugation of the leaf surface produced by changing in the water content of the tissues.
