Plenty of evidence indicates that the earthworms Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) and Eisenia andrei Bouché, 1972 (Lumbricidae) can be distinguished by morphological, physiological and molecular traits. However, the morphological differences alone do not allow to correctly identify these taxa. This may be a serious problem for the reliability of the standard ecotoxicological tests for which these worms...
Earthworms play a key role during the first stage of decomposition by enhancing the activity of microorganisms. As organic matter passes throughout the earthworm gut, nutrient pools and microbial communities are modified and released in casts. Here we used 16S rRNA pyrosequencing and metagenomic analysis to characterize the bacterial communities of casts from the earthworm Eisenia andrei fed with...
