Publications
Growth of saprotrophic fungi and bacteria in soilJohannes Rousk
Microbial Ecology, Department of Biology, Ecology Building, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 78:17-30. 2011..Finally, we predict that growth methods will be an important complement to molecular approaches to elucidate fungal and bacterial ecology, and we identify methodological concerns and how they should be addressed...
Fungal and bacterial growth responses to N fertilization and pH in the 150-year 'Park Grass' UK grassland experimentJohannes Rousk
Microbial Ecology, Department of Biology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 76:89-99. 2011..There are 30-50-fold increases in the relative importance of fungi between high (7.4-8.3) and low (3.3-4.5) pH with concomitant reductions of respiration by 30-70%...
Lack of correlation between turnover of low-molecular-weight dissolved organic carbon and differences in microbial community composition or growth across a soil pH gradientJohannes Rousk
Environment Centre Wales, Bangor University, Bangor LL57 2UW, United Kingdom
Appl Environ Microbiol 77:2791-5. 2011..In contrast, the microbial community compositions differed dramatically. This suggests that microbial community composition data will be of limited use in improving the predictive power of soil C models...
Soil bacterial and fungal communities across a pH gradient in an arable soilJohannes Rousk
Department of Microbial Ecology, Lund University, Ecology Building, Lund, Sweden
ISME J 4:1340-51. 2010..Fungal community composition was less strongly affected by pH, which is consistent with pure culture studies, demonstrating that fungi generally exhibit wider pH ranges for optimal growth...
Fungal and bacterial growth in soil with plant materials of different C/N ratiosJohannes Rousk
Department of Microbial Ecology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 62:258-67. 2007..Respiration was not always related to the combined growth of the microorganisms, emphasizing the requirement for a better understanding of growth efficiencies of fungi and bacteria...
Examining the fungal and bacterial niche overlap using selective inhibitors in soilJohannes Rousk
Department of Microbial Ecology, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 63:350-8. 2008..The results of this study also emphasize the increased sensitivity of using growth-related, instead of biomass-based, measurements when studying bacterial and fungal interactions in soil...
Contrasting short-term antibiotic effects on respiration and bacterial growth compromises the validity of the selective respiratory inhibition technique to distinguish fungi and bacteriaJohannes Rousk
Department of Microbial Ecology, Lund University, Ecology Building, 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Microb Ecol 58:75-85. 2009..Bronopol, combined with growth-based techniques, could aid development of a new framework to resolve decomposer ecology in soil...
Contrasting soil pH effects on fungal and bacterial growth suggest functional redundancy in carbon mineralizationJohannes Rousk
Department of Microbial Ecology, Lund University, Ecology Building, SE 223 62 Lund, Sweden
Appl Environ Microbiol 75:1589-96. 2009..To investigate decomposer group importance, growth measurements provided significantly increased sensitivity compared with biomass-based measurements...
Archaeal abundance across a pH gradient in an arable soil and its relationship to bacterial and fungal growth ratesPer Bengtson
Department of Biology Microbial Ecology, Ekologihuset, Lund, Sweden
Appl Environ Microbiol 78:5906-11. 2012..This suggestion is reinforced by observations of contrasting outcomes of the (competitive) interactions between archaea, bacteria, and fungi toward the lower and higher ends of the examined pH gradient...
Comparative toxicity of nanoparticulate CuO and ZnO to soil bacterial communitiesJohannes Rousk
Environment Centre Wales, Bangor University, Gwynedd, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 7:e34197. 2012..We propose that integrated efforts toward directly assessing bioavailable metal concentrations are more valuable than spending resources to reassess ecotoxicology of ENPs separately from general metal toxicity...
