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 ...

Researchers demonstrate how pairing immunization with beneficial bacteria can eliminate intestinal infections.

Microbial life thrives in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Bacteria, archaea, and other microorganisms inhabit deep ocean trenches, acidic hot springs, and the frozen tundra. While most ...

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 ...

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?

An insect ecology professor at the University of Kentucky explored her research on how bacteria affects spider reproduction ...

Five Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists were named AAAS fellows for their outstanding contributions in physics, ...

This study focused on exploring the distribution patterns, driving factors and microbial interaction patterns of methane-metabolizing microorganisms along the sedimentation gradient in the Yellow ...

My research interests lie in the field of ecosystem science with a focus on the role of the microbial community in biogeochemical processes such as nutrient and carbon cycling. I am interested in ...

Microbial ecology is the study of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses), their interaction with the environment, and their interactions with one another. Whether the ...
