Understanding and predicting the spatial distribution patterns of microbial communities is crucial to anticipate ecosystem responses to global changes [2].
Seasonal variations in the moisture and pH of the soil can lead to changes in the distribution patterns of the microbial species.
A total of 251 pathogens were detected in the samples from 167 patients, the distribution patterns of the microbial agents identified in these mono- and coinfected patients are presented in Table 4.
Yet, while microorganisms are the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth [ 29], relatively little is known about the patterns of, or controls over, microbial distribution within and between the planet's major habitat types.
However, our RNA-Seq based transcriptome profiling indicated that the ICU and CC distribution patterns of different gene expression classes in CHO cell are relatively similar, unlike other microbial expression hosts, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In both natural and cultured samples, microbial polymers were found to be acidic polysaccharides with carboxyl functional groups, strongly spatially correlated with iron oxyhydroxide distribution patterns.
The findings about spatial distribution patterns of biominerals would contribute to relevant further research of practical issues on MICP, such as microbial carbonate sequestration, lithiases with other serious complications and tracing biosignature record on Earth.
Several biogeographical hypotheses have been proposed to explain microbial distribution, but there is ongoing debate about the magnitude of the contribution of niche based processes and historical contingencies in determining patterns of microbial structure.
Another common response has been changing distribution patterns.
Drug enforcement officials say the distribution of fentanyl mirrors the distribution patterns of other cartel drugs, like heroin.
