Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe
This paper is a call to action. By publishing concurrently across journals like an emergency bulletin, we are not merely making a plea for awareness about climate change.

Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors [PDF]
Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials.

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

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 ...

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 ...
