Strategies for Enhancing the Effectiveness of Metagenomic-based Enzyme Discovery in Lignocellulolytic Microbial Communities (2010, background): “This is especially true for metagenomes from complex communities, where many previously unsequenced taxa are present [46].”
Soil biology for resilient, healthy soil (2015, background): “For example, considering a typical bacterial genome contains 3,000 to 4,000 genes, the number of microbial genes present in a single gram of soil may exceed 1012 genes, or 1,000 terabase pairs of DNA per gram of soil (Vogel et al. 2009).”
Insights from 20 years of bacterial genome sequencing (2015, background): “During the last 10 years, many big projects and consortia have been launched for sequencing of metagenomes, such as the TerraGenome project (Vogel et al. 2009) for soil.”
An improved Greengenes taxonomy with explicit ranks for ecological and evolutionary analyses of bacteria and archaea (2011, background): “, 2009) and TerraGenome (Vogel et al., 2009), and the availability of affordable sequencing to a wide range of users who have traditionally lacked access, mean that the need to integrate new sequences into a consistent universal taxonomic framework has never been greater.”
The potential of symptomless potted plants for carrying invasive soilborne plant pathogens (2015, background): “One gram of soil is estimated to contain more than 1000 prokaryotes (Curtis & Sloan, 2005) and approximately 1000 gigabase pairs of microbial genome sequences (Vogel et al., 2009).”
The ecological coherence of high bacterial taxonomic ranks (2010, methodology): “Therefore, deep sequencing , as suggested by Vogel et al”
Exploring interactions of plant microbiomes (2014, background): “Plant-associated microbial communities The soil matrix is the major reservoir of microbes that interact with plants, being described as the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth (Vogel et al., 2009).”
Soil biodiversity and DNA barcodes: opportunities and challenges (2015, background): “…targeting specific fragments of the genome (Roesch et al., 2007; Bates et al., 2011; Orgiazzi et al., 2013) or for extensive sequencing in an untargeted way aiming at in depth screening for functional genes, community structure and phylogenetic diversity (Vogel et al., 2009; Fierer et al., 2012).”
