Ecology and exploration of the rare biosphere (2015, background): “Viral lysis depends on encounter probabilities 38 , 55 , which are low for rare species.”
Where less may be more: how the rare biosphere pulls ecosystems strings (2017, background): “Most of our knowledge is still based on dominant species, despite the increasing attention for the rare microbial biosphere (Pedrós-Alió, 2007; Reid and Buckley, 2011; Lynch and Neufeld, 2015).”
Generation of Multimillion-Sequence 16S rRNA Gene Libraries from Complex Microbial Communities by Assembling Paired-End Illumina Reads (2011, background): “These approaches have provided a new window into the diversity and composition of microbial communities (11, 25, 31), increased sample throughput by use of indexing (1, 10, 19), and sparked interest in elucidating the members of the rare biosphere, which are microorganisms that exist at low relative”
The rare bacterial biosphere. (2012, background): “…concept attractive: first, the realization that, in the case of microbes, being rare has very interesting ecological and evolutionary consequences (Pedrós-Alió 2006, 2007), and second, the appearance of novel sequencing technologies that allow the effective experimental study of these rare…”
The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “Results of these new sequencing techniques suggest that microbial richness in the sea is much higher because of the presence of a ‘‘rare biosphere’’ composed of very few individuals of many distinct organism types [144,145].”
A Primer on Metagenomics (2010, background): “. It should be noted that when using primers for rDNA to classify OTUs in an environmental sample, there are choices to be made regarding the primer sequence, especially when the studied OTU composition is expected to differ significantly from most known species, the so-called rare biosphere”
Spatial patterns of bacterial richness and evenness in the NW Mediterranean Sea explored by pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA (2010, background): “Pedrós-Alió (2006, 2007) suggested that rank abundance curves for bacteria (and likely also for protists) would show a decaying exponential shape.”
