The role of grooming in regulating biomass growth of ants and symbiotic fungi under entomopathogenic fungal infection: experiments and mathematical modelling [PDF]

BioRisk
This study presents an extended mathematical model, originally developed to explore biomass dynamics in Acromyrmex ants and their symbiotic fungus, which has been adapted to investigate biomass growth in Atta sexdens and its fungal partner.

The association between sociodemographic and clinical factors and outcomes among inpatients with community‐acquired pneumonia

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality. The influence of sociodemographic characteristics on adverse outcomes in adults hospitalized with CAP remains poorly understood, particularly for patients younger than 65.

Effects of Crop Rotation and Hydrogel Application on Soil Biological Properties and Wheat Biomass Production in Drylands

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

The response of fungal community on citrus fruit surface to the application of Metschnikowia citriensis

Biological Control
Metschnikowia citriensis is an antagonistic yeast that was isolated from citrus systems, effectively controls postharvest green mold, blue mold, and sour rot in citrus fruits. This study explored its biocontrol mechanisms by treating citrus fruits with 1

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Congruent Genetic Structure in the Lichen-Forming Fungus Lobaria pulmonaria and Its Green-Algal Photobiont

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012
The extent of codispersal of symbionts is one of the key factors shaping genetic structures of symbiotic organisms. Concordant patterns of genetic structure are expected in vertically transmitted symbioses, whereas horizontal transmission generally ...
