Microbial Biodiversity and Bioremediation Assessment Through Omics Approaches (2020, background): “It has been reported as an efficient, sensitive, perceptive and quantitative tool for investigating the functional structure of microbial communities (Zhou et al., 2008; Xue et al., 2016) from divergent environments like soils, aquatic systems, extreme environments, contaminated habitats, etc.”
Metagenomic reconstruction of nitrogen cycling pathways in a CO2-enriched grassland ecosystem (2017, background): “…al., 2012a; Tu et al., 2014), several studies were previously carried out to analyze N cycling processes in different ecosystems (He et al., 2012c), such as grassland ecosystems (He et al., 2010; Xu et al., 2013; Zhou et al., 2012), river sediments (Xu et al., 2014), and tundra (Xue et al., 2016).”
Scientists’ warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change (2019, neutral): “Although microbial metabolism stimulates primary productivity by plants, the balance between microbial respiration and primary productivity results in a net release of carbon to the atmosphere 192 .”
