Comparison of chemical and microbiological changes during the aerobic composting and vermicomposting of green waste. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
This research was conducted to compare chemical and microbiological properties during aerobic composting (AC) and vermicomposting (VC) of green waste. Relative to AC, VC significantly decreased the pH and lignin and cellulose contents, and significantly ...

Characterization of Bacterial Arginine Kinases in Species from the Order Myxococcales

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2018
Phosphagen kinases are found in many eukaryotes and function in energy buffering within the cell through the exchange of a phosphate group between ATP and one of eight substrates (Ellington, 2001). Arginine kinases (AKs) have been identified in a few bacteria and phylogenetic analysis suggest they arrived through horizontal gene ...

Emergence and modular evolution of a novel motility machinery in bacteria. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Bacteria glide across solid surfaces by mechanisms that have remained largely mysterious despite decades of research. In the deltaproteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus, this locomotion allows the formation stress-resistant fruiting bodies where sporulation ...

Changes in the structure and function of rhizosphere soil microbial communities induced by Amaranthus palmeri invasion

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionPlant invasion can profoundly alter ecosystem processes driven by microorganisms. The fundamental mechanisms linking microbial communities, functional genes, and edaphic characteristics in invaded ecosystems are, nevertheless, poorly ...

Effects of soil properties and carbon substrates on bacterial diversity of two sunflower farms

open access: yesAMB Express, 2022
The sustainable production of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is crucial and one way to accomplish this feat is to have an understanding of the beneficial bacteria of sunflower rhizosphere.
