Analysis of the Bacterial Diversity Associated with theRoots of Maize (Zeamays L.) through Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Methods (2011, background): “Isolation of culturable bacteria is appropriate for functional analysis; however, as a high percentage of naturally occurring bacteria remains in a nonculturable state [5, 6] the use of culture-independent methods provides additional information on the diversity of bacterial communities [7].”
Disentangling mechanisms that mediate the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes in microbial succession (2015, methodology): “Synthesizing previous work, we devised a conceptual model that links ecosystem development to alternative hypotheses related to shifts in ecological assembly processes.”

The quality of organic matter shapes the functional biogeography of bacterioplankton across boreal freshwater ecosystems (2015, background): “This greater taxonomic heterogeneity among bacterial communities in rivers may be caused by the inoculation of bacteria from soils, known to be more diverse and spatially heterogeneous than in aquatic communities (Tamames et al. 2010; Torsvik et al., 2002), and which often results in a pattern of de”
Microbial Biogeography: Patterns in Microbial Diversity across Space and Time (2008, neutral): “To illustrate this point, consider an environment that has 10(4) unique bacterial species in a 100 m(2) area, a reasonable estimate for soil and sediment samples (Gans et al., 2005; Hong et al., 2006; Torsvik et al., 2002).”

Are viruses driving microbial diversification and diversity? (2003, background): “The consequences of gene transfer differ greatly depending on whether it happens within or among species (Torsvik et al., 2002).”
Metabarcoding: A powerful tool to investigate microbial communities and shape future plant protection strategies (2017, background): “…cloning the PCR fragments obtained from environmental samples, and the sequencing of only a representative number of clones, due to the expenses and time required to process samples (Malacrinò et al., 2015; Mosca et al., 2014; Prigigallo et al., 2015; Scibetta et al., 2012; Torsvik et al., 2002).”
Bacterial communities in soil mimic patterns of vegetative succession and ecosystem climax but are resilient to change between seasons (2013, background): “Microorganisms are key drivers of global biogeochemical cycles and are considered the most abundant and diverse organisms on earth (Torsvik et al., 2002; Falkowski et al., 2008).”
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry: an emerging technology for microbial identification and diagnosis (2015, background): “Tests based on biochemical traits usually fail to identify microbes isolated from environmental samples, as the diversity of microbes in these habitats is enormous (Torsvik et al., 2002).”
