Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long‐term storage

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...

The oxygen‐sensing FixLJ represses nitrogen fixation in Rhodopseudomonas palustris in response to oxygen

open access: yesmLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological nitrogen fixation in symbiotic diazotrophs is subject to oxygen regulation by an oxygen‐sensing FixLJ two‐component system under micro‐oxic conditions. However, it remains unclear whether this mechanism is conserved in free‐living diazotrophs.

Suppression of soil microbiota rather than neighbours facilitates absinthe Artemisia absinthium invasion in native grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Many mechanisms can lead to successful plant invasion, but their importance is often context dependent. One such mechanism is allelopathy: chemical inhibition of neighbouring plants. The importance of allelopathy may be mediated by soil microbiota and environmental conditions, and depend upon the species or functional group affected.
