This indicated that the soil metabolites available in the treated soil allowed for
a different microbial environment that presumably acted to enhance plant growth.

Jackson was studying
microbial communities around the world, including in the Amazon, when he realized that the ecological balance in those
environments was not so
different from the balance present in a healthy human gut.
This was the case even in an
environment of plentiful phosphate — where phosphate competition wouldn't have been a factor — hinting that something else was happening in the plants to trigger the growth of
different microbial communities.
Even similar
environments, such as distinct ocean basins at similar latitudes, can harbour very
different microbial species.
The studies open up new opportunities to uncover
microbial genomes from other
environments, revealing how microbes alter global carbon and nitrogen cycles, how
microbial metabolism evolved, and how so many
different kinds of microbes can coexist, says biological oceanographer Paul Falkowski of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
To better understand the
microbial diversity of these
environments, researchers from the University of Manitoba isolated AAP strains from soil samples at four
different sites within the Central Gold Mine tailings.
