Phylogenetic comparisons of bacterial communities from serpentine and nonserpentine soils
Article Abstract:
Results of a culture-independent survey of soil bacterial communities from serpentine soils and adjacent nonserpentine comparator soils using a variety of newly developed phylogenetically based statistical tools is presented. The pattern of results revealed that serpentine communities tended to be more similar to each other than they are to nonserpentine communitieds, and these differences are at a lower taxonomic scale.

The microbial community structure in petroleum-contaminated sediments corresponds to geophysical signatures
Article Abstract:
The investigation of the interdependence between geoelectrical signatures at underground petroleum plumes and the structures of subsurface microbial communities revealed that through their growth and metabolic activities, microbial populations adapt to the use of petroleum as a carbon source and could strongly influence their geophysical surroundings.

Effect of the mycorrhizosphere on the genotypic and metabolic diversity of the bacterial communities involved in mineral weathering in a forest soil
Article Abstract:
The characterization of a collection of 61 bacterial strains isolated from Scleroderma citrinum mycorrhizae, the mycorrhizosphere, and the adjacent bulk soil in an oak forest showed the fungus and the associated bacterial community to improve the mineral-weathering efficacy of the ectomycorrhizal complexes.
