Antimicrobial agents and microbial ecology [PDF]
AIMS Microbiology, 2022 <abstract> <p>Antimicrobials are therapeutic substances used to prevent or treat infections. Disinfectants are antimicrobial agents applied to non-living surfaces. Every year, several thousand tonnes of antimicrobials and their by-products are released into the environment and in particular into the aquatic environment.

An Interdisciplinary Perspective of the Built-Environment Microbiome [PDF]
arXivThe built environment provides an excellent setting for interdisciplinary research on the dynamics of microbial communities. The system is simplified compared to many natural settings, and to some extent the entire environment can be manipulated, from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Maize–soybean intercropping: A bibliometric analysis of 30 years of research publications
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3377-3388, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Maize (Zea may L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] intercropping is popular in many countries because of its high productivity. However, no studies have explored maize–soybean intercropping via bibliometric methods. Taking the Web of Science database, the visualization applications of CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visually analyze the ...

Enzyme regulation and mutation in a model serial dilution ecosystem [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 104, 044412 (2021), 2021 Microbial communities are ubiquitous in nature and come in a multitude of forms, ranging from communities dominated by a handful of species to communities containing a wide variety of metabolically distinct organisms. This huge range in diversity is not a curiosity - microbial diversity has been linked to outcomes of substantial ecological and medical ...

Replacing fallow with field pea in wheat production systems across western Nebraska
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3329-3346, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Integration of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) (FP) into dryland cropping systems has increased due to ecological and economic benefits, paired with a growing market for pea‐derived products. Challenges exist in the High Plains that limit the integration of crop rotations to replace fallow periods with FP in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)‐based ...
