The Microbial Ecology Section of ESA supports ecologists who work with microbes and related microbial processes as their subjects of interest. We ask the same sort of ecological questions that would ...

This month, microbiologists gather at ISME12 in Australia to deliberate advances in microbial ecology that could benefit the planet. What are the key challenges for this blossoming field?

Microbial ecology is the study of the interactions of microorganisms with their environment, each other, and plant and animal species. It includes the study of symbioses, biogeochemical cycles and ...

To help farmers overcome these challenges, our lab studies soil microbial ecology and beneficial plant-microbial relationships. The soil microbial community regulates many critical agroecosystems ...

Findings suggest gut microbiome dysbiosis may influence lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, impacting inflammation and ...

Ecology and evolution of species interactions in a changing ... We are specifically focused on plant rhizosphere and human lung microbiomes and how interactions within these microbial communities ...

Researchers are studying their role in marine ecosystems, their potential to reshape microbial ecology, and their ...

The findings, published in the journal Microbial Ecology, could lead to new ways to protect mature lodgepole pine trees—important to forest ecology and the forest industry—from disease and insect ...

The meeting runs from Monday, Aug 3 – Thursday, Aug 6. Register for the meeting here. This year, we’ve compiled a list of ESA posters and talks that are all about microbial ecology! Click links below ...

In addition to temperature, oxygen and moisture affect the microbial activity. In a project funded by the Academy of Finland and the University of Helsinki we will study the function and role of the ...
