Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition (2011, background): “Genome sequencing of Gp1 and Gp3 Acidobacteria and isolate culturing showed that these bacteria are able to decompose a variety of polysaccharides, including cellulose, xylan and chitin, and thus may be involved in decomposition (Ward et al., 2009).”
Comparative analysis of the microbial communities in agricultural soil amended with enhanced biochars or traditional fertilisers (2014, background): “As acidobacteial genomes contain genes for the reduction of nitrite and nitrate Ward et al., 2009) it is possible that some of the existing or ifferential associations in EB-amended soil are either driven by r drive changes in the nitrogen cycle.”
Responses of soil bacterial and fungal communities to extreme desiccation and rewetting (2013, background): “…of compatible solutes (see review by Schimel et al., 2007); (ii) exopolysaccharide production, extensively studied in Pseudomonas sp. (Roberson and Firestone, 1992; Chang et al., 2007) and recently in Acidobacteria (Ward et al., 2009); and (iii) the production of dormant life forms such as spores.”
Microbial communities in anammox reactors: a review (2017, background): “pounds such as xylan, hemicellulose, amide-pectin and chitin [80].”
Impact of long-term fertilization practices on the abundance and composition of soil bacterial communities in Northeast China. (2010, background): “More recently, three genomes from the phylum Acidobacteria revealed putative functions which are important in the environment (Ward et al., 2009).”
Rhizosphere microbiome assemblage is affected by plant development (2013, background): “, 1999) and they have an important role in the carbon cycle due to their ability to degrade complex plant derived polysaccharides such as cellulose and lignin (Ward et al., 2009).”
Distinct soil microbial diversity under long-term organic and conventional farming (2014, background): “Members of this genus have been suggested to be slow-growing oligotrophs adapted to nutrient-limited environments (Ward et al., 2009).”
A microbial clock provides an accurate estimate of the postmortem interval in a mouse model system (2013, background): “Acidobacteria prefer oligotrophic conditions (Fierer et al., 2007) and grow much more slowly than most other taxa (Ward et al., 2009; Castro et al., 2010), thus the decline of Acidobacteria may be related to the huge pulse of nutrients into the soil rather than shifts in soil pH.”
Current overview on the study of bacteria in the rhizosphere by modern molecular techniques: a mini‒review (2015, background): “Proteobacteria is followed by Acidobacteria, which have been attributed an important role in the C cycle in soils due to their ability to degrade cellulose and lignin (Ward et al. 2009).”
Insights into Plant Interactions and the Biogeochemical Role of the Globally Widespread Acidobacteriota Phylum (2023, result): “Furthermore, we demonstrated that these bacterial strains may degrade complex plant polymers such as chitin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, as reported in previous studies (Ward et al., 2009; Rawat et al., 2012; Belova et al., 2018).”
