Quantifying Soil Microbiome Abundance by Metatranscriptomics and Complementary Molecular Techniques—Cross‐Validation and Perspectives Open
Linking meta‐omics and biogeochemistry approaches in soils has remained challenging. This study evaluates the use of an internal RNA extraction standard and its potential for making quantitative estimates of a given microbial community siz…

Succession of Bacteria and Archaea Within the Soil Micro‐Food Web Shifts Soil Respiration Dynamics Open
Bacterivorous nematodes are important grazers in the soil micro‐food web. Their trophic regulation shapes the composition and ecosystem services of the soil microbiome, but the underlying population dynamics of bacteria and archaea are poo…

Plant roots but not hydrology control microbiome composition and methane flux in temperate fen mesocosms Open
The rewetting of formerly drained peatlands can help to counteract climate change through the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, this can lead to resuming CH4 emissions due to changes in the microbiome, favoring CH4-producing archaea. Ho…

Succession of bacteria and archaea within the soil micro-food web Open
Bacterivorous nematodes represent numerically abundant bacterial grazers in the soil micro-food web. Their trophic regulation shapes the soil microbiome, but the underlying population dynamics of bacteria and archaea are poorly understood.…

Kill’em all? Interactions of predatory Myxobacteria with soil microbes – an in vitro and microcosm perspective on their role in the soil microbial food-web. Open
Soil is one of the most complex ecosystems, being an elementary source for food and resources needed by humankind. Despite its pivotal role in shaping and transforming this complex ecosystem, the soil microbial food-web is still poorly und…
