The ISME Journal
This journal covers the diverse and integrated areas of microbial ecology and encourages contributions that represent major advances for the study of microbial ecosystems, communities, and interactions of microorganisms in the environment.
When phytoplankton realize that bacteria are present
Bacterial influence on phytoplankton metabolism may play an important role in ocean carbon flux
Suppression of common species enables bacterial rarity in dry soils
A chosen few, common species are globally widespread. On the other hand, rare bacterial species display high sensitivity to environmental conditions at low relative abundances. Predictable shifts in soil bacterial rarity occur across biomes primarily driven by soil hydration conditions.
