Microbial biomass and enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere of prickly-pear cactus genotypes inoculated with Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus Sp

Scientific Reports
Some bacterial taxa, such as Bacillus and Paenibacillus, are known to colonize the rhizosphere and promote plant growth. However, little is known about their effect on microbial biomass and enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere of plants under semi-arid ...

Molecular ecology of microbial mats [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2014
Phototrophic microbial mats are ideal model systems for ecological and evolutionary analysis of highly diverse microbial communities. Microbial mats are small-scale, nearly closed, and self-sustaining benthic ecosystems that comprise the major element cycles, trophic levels, and food webs.

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.
