Cultivar-specific dynamics: unravelling rhizosphere microbiome responses to water deficit stress in potato cultivars

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Growing evidence suggests that soil microbes can improve plant fitness under drought. However, in potato, the world’s most important non-cereal crop, the role of the rhizosphere microbiome under drought has been poorly studied.

A long-term field experiment demonstrates the influence of tillage on the bacterial potential to produce soil structure-stabilizing agents such as exopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides

Environmental Microbiome, 2019
Background Stable soil aggregates are essential for optimal crop growth and preventing soil erosion. However, tillage is often used in agriculture to loosen the soil, which disrupts the integrity of these aggregates.

Qualitative Comparative Analysis

, 2022
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a set-theoretic comparative method that treats cases as configurations of conditions, aiming to identify those conditions and/or combinations that are necessary and/or sufficient for an outcome. This chapter opens with a review of how the method has been applied empirically in the fields of Foreign Policy ...

Strategies to Overcome Intermediate Accumulation During in situ Nitrate Remediation in Groundwater by Hydrogenotrophic Denitrification

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bioremediation of polluted groundwater is one of the most difficult actions in environmental science. Nonetheless, the clean-up of nitrate polluted groundwater may become increasingly important as nitrate concentrations frequently exceed the EU drinking ...

Seasonal Effects of Extreme Weather Events on Potential Extracellular Enzyme Activities in a Temperate Grassland Soil

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Magnitude and timing of precipitation events within the growing season might be decisive for alterations in potential extracellular enzyme activity (PEEA), with consequences for nutrient cycle, and carbon storage in grassland ecosystems.

Pre-digest of unprotected DNA by Benzonase improves the representation of living skin bacteria and efficiently depletes host DNA

Microbiome, 2021
Background The identification of microbiota based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) of extracted DNA has drastically improved our understanding of the role of microbial communities in health and disease.

Biological soil crusts on agricultural soils of mesic regions promote microbial cross-kingdom co-occurrences and nutrient retention

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionBiological soil crusts (biocrusts) are known as biological hotspots on undisturbed, nutrient-poor bare soil surfaces and until now, are mostly observed in (semi-) arid regions but are currently poorly understood in agricultural systems.
