Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
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.

Seeing the forest for the genes: using metagenomics to infer the aggregated traits of microbial communities [PDF]

, 2014
Most environments harbor large numbers of microbial taxa with ecologies that remain poorly described and characterizing the functional capabilities of whole communities remains a key challenge in microbial ecology.

Disentangling the genetic basis of rhizosphere microbiome assembly in tomato

Nature 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]

PeerJ, 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

Plant 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

Scientific 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

Microbiome, 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

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.
