Information about sediment microbiota affected by sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFC) is limited. A laboratory-scale SMFC was applied to a eutrophic lake sediment under closed-circuit/open-circuit conditions. We analyzed the prokaryotes in the sediment adhering to the anode material. The archaeal family was a predominant group under closed-circuit conditions.

Background: Zostera marina is an important ecosystem engineer influencing shallow water environments and possibly shaping the microbiota in surrounding sediments and water. Z. marina is typically found in marine systems, but it can also proliferate under brackish conditions.

Background: Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) is a distructive quarantine insect pest that causes significant economic losses on cucurbit crops. To explore a green control approach, we investigated the behavioral responses of B. cucurbitae larvae and adults to bacterial suspensions, sediments, and supernatants derived from eight gut microbial strains across four distinct genera.

Posidonia oceanica retains a large amount of carbon within its belowground recalcitrant structure, the 'matte,' which is characterized by low oxygen availability and biodegradation. Fungi may play a pivotal role in carbon sequestration within the matte, even if little/no information is available. To fill this gap, we profiled fungal communities from the upper and lower layers of alive and dead matte, by using an ITS2-5.

Submerged plants can thrive entirely underwater, playing a crucial role in maintaining water quality, supporting aquatic organisms, and enhancing sediment stability. However, they face multiple challenges, including reduced light availability, fluctuating water conditions, and limited nutrient access. Despite these stresses, submerged plants demonstrate remarkable resilience through physiological and biochemical adaptations.

Mangrove ecosystems are globally recognized for their blue carbon (C) sequestration capacity. Lignocellulosic detritus constitutes the primary C input to mangrove sediments, but the microbial processes involved in its bioprocessing remain unclear. Using lignocellulosic analysis and metagenomic sequencing across five 100-cm sediment cores, we found a high proportion of lignin (95.
