Metabolic flexibility as a major predictor of spatial distribution in microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A better understand the ecology of microbes and their role in the global ecosystem could be achieved if traditional ecological theories can be applied to microbes. In ecology organisms are defined as specialists or generalists according to the breadth of

Disentangling the genetic basis of rhizosphere microbiome assembly in tomato

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Genetics factors involved in rhizosphere microbiomes assembly remain largely elusive. Here, the authors integrate microbiomics and quantitative plant genetics to reveal genetic loci associated with specific microbes and rhizobacterial traits underlying ...

Successive DNA extractions improve characterization of soil microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Currently, characterization of soil microbial communities relies heavily on the use of molecular approaches. Independently of the approach used, soil DNA extraction is a crucial step, and success of downstream procedures will depend on how well DNA ...

DiSCount: computer vision for automated quantification of Striga seed germination

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2020
Background Plant parasitic weeds belonging to the genus Striga are a major threat for food production in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The parasite’s life cycle starts with the induction of seed germination by host plant-derived signals ...

Impact of root-associated strains of three Paraburkholderia species on primary and secondary metabolism of Brassica oleracea

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Several root-colonizing bacterial species can simultaneously promote plant growth and induce systemic resistance. How these rhizobacteria modulate plant metabolism to accommodate the carbon and energy demand from these two competing processes is largely ...

Resilience of the resident soil microbiome to organic and inorganic amendment disturbances and to temporary bacterial invasion

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2018
Background Vinasse, a by-product of sugarcane ethanol production, is recycled by sugarcane plantations as a fertilizer due to its rich nutrient content. However, the impacts of the chemical and microbial composition of vinasse on soil microbiome dynamics

Draft genome sequences of three fungal-interactive Paraburkholderia terrae strains, BS007, BS110 and BS437

open access: yesStandards in Genomic Sciences, 2017
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three fungal-interactive Paraburkholderia terrae strains, denoted BS110, BS007 and BS437. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the three strains belong to clade II of the genus Burkholderia , which was recently ...
