Phyllosphere Exudates Select for Distinct Microbiome Members in Sorghum Epicuticular Wax and Aerial Root Mucilage

Phytobiomes Journal, 2023
Phyllosphere exudates create specialized microhabitats that shape microbial community diversity. We explored the microbiome associated with two sorghum phyllosphere exudates, the epicuticular wax and aerial root mucilage.

Virocell Necromass Provides Limited Plant Nitrogen and Elicits Rhizosphere Metabolites That Affect Phage Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.

Impacts of Managed Vegetation Restoration on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Diazotrophs in Karst Ecosystems

Journal of Fungi
The crucial functional arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and diazotrophs play pivotal roles in nutrient cycling during vegetation restoration. However, the impact of managed vegetation restoration strategies on AMF and diazotroph communities remains ...

Trophic highways and dead ends: Algal traits regulate nutrient flux and energy transfer in stream food webs

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Primary producers supply energy to ecosystems, but their traits determine whether fixed carbon (C) and nutrients are retained or transferred to consumers. In nitrogen (N)‐limited rivers, N fixation can provide a critical nutrient input, yet its role in supporting food webs remains poorly constrained.

Differentiations of determinants for the community compositions of bacteria, fungi, and nitrogen fixers in various steppes

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Different types of steppes could provide heterogeneous habitat environments for underground microorganisms, but much less is known about how soil microbes fit the distinct habitats and what are the underlying mechanisms in shaping their community ...

Temporal dynamics of free‐living nitrogen fixation in the switchgrass rhizosphere

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Free‐living nitrogen fixation (FLNF) represents an important terrestrial N source and is gaining interest for its potential to contribute plant available N to bioenergy cropping systems.

Taxon‐specific community structure partitions marine particle size spectra into stable and dynamic components

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2026.
Abstract Oceanic particle size distributions (PSDs) link plankton community structure to biogeochemical cycling. Although the influence of community composition on size spectra is well recognized in theoretical approaches, long‐term empirical evidence connecting taxon‐specific variability to bulk PSD structure remains limited.

Diversity, structure, and distribution of bacterioplankton and diazotroph communities in the Bay of Bengal during the winter monsoon

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is conventionally believed to be a low productive, oligotrophic marine ecosystem, where the diazotroph communities presumed to play a vital role in adding “new” nitrogen through the nitrogen fixation process.

Phosphorus limits the growth of bacterial and eukaryotic primary producers in recently deglaciated High Arctic soils

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 11, November 2026.
Glaciers are receding at unprecedented rates worldwide, exposing large areas of barren sediment that are quickly colonized by microbes. Nutrient availability is a critical driver of early ecosystem succession, but in the High Arctic its role has remained uncertain.

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2491-2519, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.
