No matter where the body is buried, the microbial network behind the cadaver’s decomposition remains essentially the same. Researchers from Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of ...

Furthermore, the PLS-PM results demonstrated that the high-N treatments had a more favorable impact on microbial network complexity than the low-N treatments, which further confirmed that high-N ...

A new study reveals that microbial diversity is shaped by a network of mutual dependencies. Microbial ecosystems are found all around us—in seawater, soil, and even inside the human gut—and they are ...

While some genetic studies have probed the microbial communities that decompose plant matter ... That was until a recent study by scientists from Colorado State University (CSU) identified a network ...

It looked at the microbial network and found key bacterial and fungal decomposers that are rare in the wider environment, but consistently present in decaying human flesh. “Decomposition is ...

A series of studies have cast doubt on the sensational claim that "the strongest evidence yet" was found that life exists ...

Keystone species also shifted. Prior to the intervention, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii played a central role in the microbial network. During the wild-food phase, Blautia and its associated taxa ...

This study was a first, integrating data on bacteria and microbial eukaryotes (small organisms summarized as "microorganisms," including phytoplankton). Samples were taken at two Antarctic ...
