ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, is the most destructive disease affecting citrus production worldwide. Trunk injection of oxytetracycline (OTC) is increasingly used to suppress the pathogen and improve tree performance, yet its ecological consequences for plant‐associated microbiomes remain poorly understood ...

Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress
This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

Microbiome–Driven Carcinogenesis and Circulating Microbial Signals in Genitourinary Cancers
Experimental BBN models link gut microbial metabolism and diet‐microbiome interactions to urothelial carcinogenesis, while circulating extracellular vesicle‐associated bacterial DNA signals may reflect tumor immune contexture and immune checkpoint inhibitor outcomes in urothelial and renal cell carcinoma.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

ABSTRACT Species in grasslands restored from former arable land have multiple obstacles when establishing. Understanding whether these limitations stem from soil chemical or microbial differences could help to create suitable environments for specific target and other species with similar requirements.
