Feather-Degrading Bacteria: A New Frontier in Avian and Host–Parasite Research? (2008, methodology): “Several techniques are available for assessing microbial community structure and composition (reviewed in Head et al. 1998, Kirk et al. 2004, Dorigo et al. 2005, Sessitsch et al. 2006; for an example of these methods applied to plumage bacteria, see Bisson et al. 2007) and should be employed in…”
Investigating microbial community structure in soils by physiological, biochemical and molecular fingerprinting methods (2006, background): “TheDGGE has been criticized for its gel effects and co-migration of bands on data interpretation (Fromin et al., 2002; Kirk et al., 2004).”
Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition (2011, methodology): “Membrane lipids were extracted from about 2 g of freezedried soil, and converted to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by methylation (Kirk et al., 2004; Leckie, 2005).”
Influence of corn, switchgrass, and prairie cropping systems on soil microbial communities in the upper Midwest of the United States (2016, background): “Lipid analysis provided general taxonomic information coupled to biomass estimates that gave insight into ecosystem function (Kirk et al., 2004).”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “responses to disturbance of soil microbial consortia within and among complex ecosystems such as forests (Kirk et al. 2004; Leckie 2005; Zak et al. 2006).”
Molecular Techniques to Assess Microbial Community Structure, Function, and Dynamics in the Environment (2011, methodology): “Standard culture techniques to characterize microbial ecology involve isolation and characterization of microorganisms using commercial growth media such as Luria–Bertani medium, Nutrient Agar, and Tryptic Soy Agar (Kirk et al. 2004).”
Methods for Analyzing Diversity of Microbial Communities in Natural Environments (2013, background): “Advantages and disadvantages of conventional and biochemical methods to study microbial diversity (Kirk et al., 2004)”
The fungi: 1, 2, 3 ... 5.1 million species? (2011, background): “— Soil is a habitat of high fungal diversity ( W aksman , 1922 ; Gilman, 1957 ; Kirk et al., 2004 ; Domsch et al., 2007 ).”
MYCORRHIZAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS FOLLOWING NITROGEN FERTILIZATION: A CROSS‐SITE TEST IN FIVE GRASSLANDS (2007, background): “However, these methods may lack sufficient sensitivity because they only detect the most abundant taxa (e.g., DNA arrays), or they introduce bias through PCR (polymerase chain reaction; e.g., single-strand conformation polymorphisms; Kirk et al. 2004).”
Long-term changes in soil microbial communities during primary succession (2014, background): “Understanding long-term changes in 54 such communities is therefore essential to efforts to model and manage ecological change, 55 including the restoration of degraded ecosystems (Kirk et al., 2004).”
