Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem
mSystems, 2019 Soil salinization is a growing environmental problem caused by both natural and human activities. Excessive salinity in soil suppresses growth, decreases species diversity, and alters the community composition of plants; however, the effect of salinity ...

Temporal dynamics of the soil bacterial community following Bacillus invasion
iScience, 2022 Summary: Microbial inoculants are constantly introduced into the soil as the deployment of sustainable agricultural practices increases. These introductions might induce soil native communities’ dynamics, influencing their assembly process.

Directed Evolution of Microbial Communities
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2020 Directed evolution is a form of artificial selection that has been used for decades to find biomolecules and organisms with new or enhanced functional traits. Directed evolution can be conceptualized as a guided exploration of the genotype–phenotype map, where genetic variants with desirable phenotypes are first selected and then mutagenized to search ...

Litter mixing promoted decomposition and altered microbial community in common bean root litter
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Decomposition of plant litter is a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Mixing litters of different plant species may alter the decomposition rate, but its effect on the microbial decomposer community in plant ...

Spatiotemporal variations of microbial assembly, interaction, and potential risk in urban dust
Environment International, 2022 Community and composition of dust-borne microbes would affect human health and are regulated by microbial community assembly. The dust in kindergarten is always collected to evaluate the microbial exposure of children, yet the microbial assembly, their ...
