  • Nutrient acquisition, rather than stress response over diel cycles, drives microbial transcription in a hyper-arid Namib Desert soil 
    Leon-Sobrino, Carlos; Ramond, Jean-Baptiste; Maggs-Kölling, Gillian; Cowan, Don A. (Frontiers Media, 2019-05-14)
    Hot desert surface soils are characterized by extremely low water activities for large parts of any annual cycle. It is widely assumed that microbial processes in such soils are very limited. Here we present the first ...
  • Phages actively challenge niche communities in Antarctic soils 
    Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Lebre, Pedro H.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Leon-Sobrino, Carlos; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Cowan, Don A.; Van de Peer, Yves; Makhalanyane, Thulani Peter (American Society for Microbiology, 2020-05-05)
    By modulating the structure, diversity, and trophic outputs of microbial communities, phages play crucial roles in many biomes. In oligotrophic polar deserts, the effects of katabatic winds, constrained nutrients, and ...
