The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms. (2013, methodology): “Following the work of Burke et al. (2011), we propose to assemble the core microbiomes more from a functional perspective than based on taxonomic classification only.”
The seaweed holobiont: understanding seaweed-bacteria interactions. (2013, background): “Recent genomic and metagenomic data of macroalgal associates have revealed further evidence of nutrient scavenging, such as phosphorous, nitrogen, and iron utilization (Thomas et al. , 2008; Burke et al. , 2011b; Fernandes et al. , 2011).”
The healthy human microbiome (2016, background): “If microbial communities assemble on the basis of their coverage of a core set of functions while selecting from a large meta-population of potential colonizers, they are likely to be ecologically diverse [100–102], both in terms of richness (number of taxa present) and evenness (abundance of many m”

Understanding the responses of ocean biota to a complex matrix of cumulative anthropogenic change (2012, background): “…in research terms would be to examine a subset of species/strains (or in the case of microbes, using metabolic functions, Dinsdale et al. (2008), Burke et al. (2011)), across a range of biomes to explore how such functionality responds to environmental change This has been attempted for the…”
Dysfunction of the intestinal microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease and treatment (2012, background): “This has been noted in environmental communities [72] and suggested with respect to obesity and other biometrics [73,74], but to date it has not been reported for disease-linked dysbioses or IBD.”
The quality of organic matter shapes the functional biogeography of bacterioplankton across boreal freshwater ecosystems (2015, background): “This lack of coherence between functional and taxonomic patterns is in accordance with previous results from studies using genomic traits (Burke et al., 2011; Barberán et al., 2012) and suggests that the exploration of functional attributes could unveil drivers of microbial performance that cannot b”

The Impact of the Gut Microbiota on Human Health: An Integrative View (2012, neutral): “Metagenomic studies have established that despite the extensive interpersonal variability in community composition, there is a shared core of functionalities in the microbiome (Burke et al., 2011; Turnbaugh et al., 2009a).”

Algae as an important environment for bacteria – phylogenetic relationships among new bacterial species isolated from algae (2013, background): “Certain physiological properties of bacterial species (i.e. polysaccharide degradation, antibiotic production, growth stimulant production, biosynthesis of allelochemicals, etc.) may favour the establishment of ecological relationships between epibionts and the alga (Burke et al. 2011a).”
