Species-specific effects of epigeic earthworms on microbial community structure during first stages of decomposition of organic matter. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Epigeic earthworms are key organisms in organic matter decomposition because of the interactions they establish with microorganisms. The earthworm species and the quality and/or substrate availability are expected to be major factors influencing the ...

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Swabbing as a Non‐Lethal DNA Collection Method for Earthworm Barcoding: Performance and Citizen Science Perspectives

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Earthworm DNA barcoding commonly relies on lethal tissue sampling, which can discourage participation in citizen science projects due to emotional concerns. By comparing swab‐based and tissue‐based DNA collection methods, we show that swab sampling represents a promising, participant‐friendly option for citizen science–based earthworm biodiversity ...

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Soil Irrigated With Cattle Slaughter Effluent Disinfected With Peracetic Acid Using the Bioindicators Eisenia fetida and Vibrio fischeri

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.
Cattle slaughter effluent disinfected with peracetic acid increased toxicity to E. fetida and V. fischeri and increased soil degradability. Cattle slaughter effluent did not demonstrate toxicity to V. fischeri. ABSTRACT The increasing volume of effluents generated by slaughterhouses is driving studies that seek sustainable alternatives for their reuse ...

Metagenomic Insights Into Vermicompost Tea for Reducing Nitrogen Use and Enhancing Maize Productivity

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vermicompost tea is a liquid organic biofertilizer rich in nutrients, plant hormones, and beneficial microorganisms, offering a strategy to improve nutrient‐use efficiency and reduce crop reliance on mineral fertilizers. Maize requires substantial nitrogen inputs, which can increase production costs.
