• Abstract

  This proposal, integrated to the collaborative project "Dimensions US-BIOTA-São Paulo: Integrating dimensions of microbial biodiversity across land use change in tropical forests", aims at studying Bacteria/Archaea involved in the consumption and emission of methane in soils under different land-uses in the Brazilian Amazon in comparison with natural forest. Here we will investigate sever…

• Abstract

  The Amazon Basin is covered by the largest rainforest on the planet, which has been converted into areas designated for agriculture due to the growing world demand for food. Land use change alters its original physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Consequently, the soil microorganisms, which participate in essential processes for all terrestrial ecosystems, respond differentl…

• Abstract

  The phylum Verrucomicrobia is a group of gram-negative microorganisms recently added to the domain Bacteria. The members of the phylum Verrucomicrobia were first observed in aquatic environments, but, currently, have been found in many different environments. In soil, Verrucomicrobia represents 1 to 10% of all bacterial 16S rRNA gene present, and recent studies indicate that the phylum is…

• Abstract

  In previous research, developed under FAPESP project 2015/13546-7, we observed that forest and pasture soils have different potentials for methane sequestration and emission, enhanced by soil moisture. These findings reinforce the need for a deeper understanding of the environmental parameters that modulate the microbial methane cycle in tropical soils. However, little is still known abou…
