[ECOLOG-L] Updates on sampling air microbes

DNA for shotgun metagenomics, but kind of enough for amplicon sequencing. We are planning on a trial sequencing this month. I’ll keep update. Cheers, Zewei -- 宋泽伟 Zewei Song 华大生命科学研究院 宏基因组研究所 BGI-Shenzhen Institute of Metagenomics 电话 Tel: +86 13632929180 邮件 Email: songze...@genomics.cn 邮件 Email

[ECOLOG-L] Decrease of carbon concentration in late stage of decomposition?

. It reached around 300 mg/g at the end of the 3 years. I'm wonder if there is any reason for the decrease of this carbon concentration. One reason I think possible is that the carbon was respired while O and H were accumulated and form humic like materials. We'll appreciate any input. Thanks. Zewei Song

[ECOLOG-L] Introductory reference on neutral theory of biodiversity

Hi, Ecologgers I wonder if there is any good introductory reference on the neutral theory of biodiversity (book or articles). I'm looking for something that can explain it in a non-math way. Thanks. Zewei

[ECOLOG-L] How to get the expectation and variation of a ratio?

mean and variation by Taylor expansion. But I fell it is way too complex. I wonder if you guys know any similar application in ecology like my situation or any use of the wiki method? Thanks. Zewei

[ECOLOG-L] Good antibiotics for fungi

Hi, All It seems an easy question, but I'm not sure if I get it right. What is the best choice of antibiotic to exclude fungi on culture medium? I've found people talking about Amphtericin B, but does anyone know how does it work on soil? Thanks. Zewei Song -- Research Fellow University

[ECOLOG-L] Amplicon region for bacteria next-gen sequencing

-V6 or V1-V3 will work better in resolving species. Can you share with us on what amplicon region you usual use for bacteria and what do you feel about it? Thanks! Zewei Song -- Post Doc Department of Plant Pathology University of Minnesota 612-624-3476

[ECOLOG-L] Best practice for fungal metagenomics?
