Specific root length regulated the rhizosphere effect on denitrification across distinct macrophytes

Geoderma
Macrophytes influence nitrogen (N) removal from wetlands. However, the specific plant traits responsible for this effect and the related microbial mechanisms remain largely unknown, especially root traits.

Testing Bathymetric and Regional Patterns in the Southwest Atlantic Deep Sea Using Infaunal Diversity, Structure, and Function

Diversity, 2020
A better understanding of deep-sea biology requires knowledge of the structure and function of their communities, the spatial, temporal, and environmental patterns, and the changes and dynamics that govern them.

An exactly solvable coarse-grained model for species diversity

, 2012
We present novel analytical results about ecosystem species diversity that stem from a proposed coarse grained neutral model based on birth-death processes.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

New approaches to investigating the function of mycelial networks [PDF]

, 2005
Fungi play a key role in ecosystem nutrient cycles by scavenging, concentrating, translocating and redistributing nitrogen. To quantify and predict fungal nitrogen redistribution, and assess the importance of the integrity of fungal networks in soil for ...

Why human connection is the true metric of research success

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human‐centred mentorship can be shaped by mentor attributes, actions, intrinsic drive and career ambition. Drawing on reflections across Singapore and France, as well as workshop insights from FEBS‐IUBMB ENABLE 2024, this article shows that human‐centred mentorship creates the conditions for sustainable growth, well‐being and retention in research ...

The conversion of natural wetlands to paddy fields affects net ecosystem carbon fluxes by restructuring the coupling between soil microbial communities and physicochemical properties

Ecological Processes
Background Natural wetlands serve as important global carbon sinks and play a critical role in regulating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the widespread conversion of wetlands into paddy fields has raised concerns, and its impacts on ecosystem net ...

Impacts of farming practice within organic farming systems on below-ground ecology and ecosystem function [PDF]

, 2006
Maintaining ecosystem function is a key issue for sustainable farming systems which contribute broadly to global ecosystem health. A focus simply on the diversity of belowground organisms is not sufficient and there is a need to consider the contribution

Lipid droplets sequester palmitic acid to disrupt endothelial ciliation and exacerbate atherosclerosis in male mice

Nature Communications
Disruption of ciliary homeostasis in vascular endothelial cells has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the molecular basis for the regulation of endothelial cilia during atherosclerosis remains poorly understood.
