Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Sediment trap preservative choice impacts particle‐associated microbial community composition
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding and quantifying the microbial contribution to particulate organic matter (POM) flux and carbon cycling in the ocean relies largely on the collection of sinking POM. A critical aspect of evaluating microbial communities on sediment trap‐collected POM is their preservation until recovery and sample processing.

Complete genome sequence of bovine polyomavirus type 1 from aborted cattle, isolated in Belgium in 2014 [PDF]
, 2016 <p>The complete and fully annotated genome sequence of a bovine polyomavirus type 1 (BPyV/BEL/1/2014) from aborted cattle was assembled from a metagenomics data set. The 4,697-bp circular dsDNA genome contains 6 protein-coding genes.

A case of yogurt central line‐associated bloodstream infection in a child with intestinal failure
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Central line‐associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a significant cause of morbidity in children with intestinal failure (IF). Probiotic therapy is discouraged in patients with IF because of the increased risk of bacteremia with the probiotic organism.

Clinical metagenomic sequencing - CSF RNA and DNA Illumina MiSeq v1
, 2022 This protocol was developed to evaluate unbiased cerebrospinal fluid metagenomics at a referral centre in South Africa. Commercial kit protocols are generally used unmodified and limited use of in-house developed methods or reagents is made. This maintains the simplicity and accessibility of the protocol which can serve as a base for evaluation of ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.
