Plant species and soil type cooperatively shape the structure and function of microbial communities in the rhizosphere

Gabriele Berg, Kornelia Smalla · 25 Feb 2009

The rhizosphere is of central importance not only for plant nutrition, health and quality but also for microorganism-driven carbon sequestration, ecosystem functioning and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. A multitude of biotic and abiotic factors are assumed to influence the structural and functional diversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere. In this review, recent studies…

New primers to amplify the fungal ITS2 region - evaluation by 454-sequencing of artificial and natural communities

Katarina Ihrmark, Inga T. M. Bödeker, Karelyn Cruz-Martínez et al. · 28 Jun 2012

With recent methodological advances, molecular markers are increasingly used for semi-quantitative analyses of fungal communities. The aim to preserve quantitative relationships between genotypes through PCR places new demands on primers to accurately match target sites and provide short amplicons. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosome encoding genes is a commonly used marker…

Multivariate analyses in microbial ecology

Alban Ramette · 24 Sep 2007

Environmental microbiology is undergoing a dramatic revolution due to the increasing accumulation of biological information and contextual environmental parameters. This will not only enable a better identification of diversity patterns, but will also shed more light on the associated environmental conditions, spatial locations, and seasonal fluctuations, which could explain such patterns. Complex ecological questions may…

<i>microeco</i>: an R package for data mining in microbial community ecology

Chi Liu, Yaoming Cui, Xiangzhen Li et al. · 15 Dec 2020

A large amount of sequencing data is produced in microbial community ecology studies using the high-throughput sequencing technique, especially amplicon-sequencing-based community data. After conducting the initial bioinformatic analysis of amplicon sequencing data, performing the subsequent statistics and data mining based on the operational taxonomic unit and taxonomic assignment tables is still complicated and time-consuming. To…

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation discovered in a denitrifying fluidized bed reactor

A. Mulder, A.A. van de Graaf, Lesley A. Robertson et al. · 1 Mar 1995

Until now, oxidation of ammonium has only been known to proceed under aerobic conditions.Recently, we observed that NH: was disappearing from a denitrifying fluidized bed reactor treating effluent from a methanogenic reactor.Both nitrate and ammonium consumption increased with concomitant gas production.A maximum ammonium removal rate of 0.4 kg N. me3 .d-' (1.2 mM/h) was observed.The…

FEMS Microbiology Ecology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the FEMS Microbiology Ecology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the FEMS Microbiology Ecology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does FEMS Microbiology Ecology use?
FEMS Microbiology Ecology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to FEMS Microbiology Ecology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready FEMS Microbiology Ecology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the FEMS Microbiology Ecology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the FEMS Microbiology Ecology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is FEMS Microbiology Ecology?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready FEMS Microbiology Ecology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official FEMS Microbiology Ecology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the FEMS Microbiology Ecology template cost?
You can start writing in the FEMS Microbiology Ecology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready FEMS Microbiology Ecology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
