Abstract Soil protists are increasingly studied due to a release from previous methodological constraints and the acknowledgement of their immense diversity functional importance in ecosystems. However, these studies often lack sufficient depth knowledge, which is visible form falsely used terms false‐ or over‐interpreted data with conclusions that cannot be drawn obtained. As we welcome also non‐experts include still mostly bacterial and/or fungal‐focused studies, our aim here help avoid some common errors. We provide suggestions for current use when working on soil protists, like protist instead protozoa, predator grazer, microorganisms rather than microflora other describe prey spectrum protists. then highlight dos don'ts ecology including challenges related interpreting 18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data. caution against standard bioinformatic settings optimized bacteria uncritical reliance incomplete partly erroneous reference databases. show why causal inferences sequence‐based correlation analyses any sampling/monitoring, study field without thorough experimental confirmation sound understanding biology taxa. Together, envision this work more easily obtain reliable interpretations biodiversity that, end, will contribute better ecology.

Abstract Photosynthetic microbes are omnipresent in land and water. While they critically influence primary productivity aquatic systems, their importance terrestrial ecosystems remains largely overlooked. In photoautotrophs occur a variety of habitats, such as sub-surface soils, exposed rocks, bryophytes. Here, we study photosynthetic microbial communities associated with bryophytes from boreal peatland tropical rainforest. We interrogate contribution to bryophyte C uptake identify the main drivers that contribution. found take up twice more (~4.4 mg CO2.h−1.m−2) than rainforest (~2.4 CO2.h−1.m−2), which corresponded an average 4% 2% uptake, respectively. Our findings revealed patterns were driven by proportion protists moss microbiomes.

Abstract Microalgae’s adaptability and resilience to Earth’s diverse environments have evolved these photosynthetic microorganisms into a biotechnological source of industrially relevant physiological functions biometabolites. Despite this, microalgae-based industries only exploit handful species. This lack biodiversity hinders the expansion microalgal industry. Microalgal bioprospecting, searching for novel biological algal resources with new properties, remains low throughput time-consuming endeavour due inefficient workflows that rely on non-selective sampling, monoalgal culture status outdated, non-standardized characterization techniques. review will highlight importance bioprospecting critically explore commonly employed methodologies.

Soil microorganisms are well known to play a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling within terrestrial ecosystems. Numerous research efforts have demonstrated that nitrogen deposition can change forest soil microbial diversity community composition; however, it is still unclear how will affect the composition subtropical forests under background of increasing drought. Consequently, over period 2.5 years, we carried out an experiment using two N addition regimes three water treatment levels reveal effects nitrogen, drought, influence their interaction on microorganisms. Overall, found both drought decreased bacterial Shannon Simpson indices yet had no significant effect fungal diversity. In well-watered treatments, did not significantly reduce diversity, while moderate severe reducing by 27.05% 0.13%, respectively, treatment. Drought altered bacteria regardless addition. changed less composition. The content, fine root biomass, pH were correlated with composition, which explained 53.3%, 11.1%, 8.7% changes respectively. These results suggest may intensify inhibitory magnitude direction impact community.

ABSTRACT Soil and bromeliads are important habitats contributing to the biodiversity of Atlantic Forest in Brazil. However, knowledge unicellular eukaryotes bacteria these environments remains limited. This study compared diversity community structure eukaryotes, fungi, metazoan, bromeliad water tanks (BWT) adjacent soil using 16S 18S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Communities differed significantly between but shared some taxa, suggesting habitat connectivity. Ciliates dominated BWT, while Cercozoa prevailed soil. Bacterial communities were by Pseudomonadota, fungal composition was more uniform, with Ascomycota as dominant phylum across samples. Metazoan varied among abundant phyla, their presence BWT suggests use this resource within forest. provides essential baseline data on eukaryotic bacterial unique ecosystem, highlighting how distinct support different communities.
