The effects of chemical and organic fertilizer usage on rhizosphere soil in tea orchards.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Sustainable agriculture is an important global issue. The use of organic fertilizers can enhance crop yield and soil properties while restraining pests and diseases.

Bradymonabacteria, a novel bacterial predator group with versatile survival strategies in saline environments

Microbiome, 2020
Background Bacterial predation is an important selective force in microbial community structure and dynamics. However, only a limited number of predatory bacteria have been reported, and their predatory strategies and evolutionary adaptations remain ...

Assessment of the cyst wall and surface microbiota in dormant embryos of the Antarctic calanoid copepod, Boeckella poppei

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
A diverse microbiome colonizes the surface of dormant copepod embryos, which can survive for ~200 years in lake sediments. During dormancy, the outer two layers of a five‐layered cyst wall break apart, while the third layer remains undamaged, despite the presence of microbial species with chitinase genes.

Soil type and precipitation level have a greater influence on fungal than bacterial diversity in serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 862-878, November 2024.
We investigated bacterial and fungal diversity in biocrusts from serpentine and non‐serpentine soil in South Africa. While bacterial diversity showed no significant differences, fungal community structure varied significantly between serpentine (S) and non‐serpentine (NS) biocrusts and between precipitation levels.

Genome Report: Identification and Validation of Antigenic Proteins from Pajaroellobacter abortibovis Using De Novo Genome Sequence Assembly and Reverse Vaccinology

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Epizootic bovine abortion (EBA), or “foothill abortion,” is the leading cause of beef cattle abortion in California and has also been reported in Nevada and Oregon.

The Microbiota and Abundance of the Class 1 Integron-Integrase Gene in Tropical Sewage Treatment Plant Influent and Activated Sludge.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Bacteria are assumed to efficiently remove organic pollutants from sewage in sewage treatment plants, where antibiotic-resistance genes can move between species via mobile genetic elements known as integrons.

Organic matter accumulation drives methylotrophic methanogenesis and microbial ecology in a hypersaline coastal lagoon

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 9, Page 1970-1983, September 2024.
Abstract Hypersalinity is common in coastal wetlands throughout warm, tropical, and arid regions. Climate‐induced changes in rainfall, sea level, and anthropogenic modification to basins and coastlines are likely to further increase salinization in these ecosystems.

Embracing Biological Control of Septoria Tritici Blotch for Sustainable Wheat Protection

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 172, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
ABSTRACT Wheat, one of the top‐produced cereals worldwide, is affected by many abiotic and biotic stresses, such as the ascomycete fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB). STB has historically been managed with fungicides, but the pathogen readily overcomes chemical control because of its rapid genetic evolution ...

The impact of host development and density stress on the diversity of microbial communities in the gut and its surrounding environment of the Chinese alligator

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
This study investigates the impact of host development and density stress on the diversity of microbial communities in the gut and its surrounding environment of the Chinese alligator. Abstract The Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is currently an endangered species due to a combination of factors, including climate change, anthropogenic ...

Revealing the Variation and Stability of Bacterial Communities in Tomato Rhizosphere Microbiota

Microorganisms, 2020
Microorganisms that colonize the plant rhizosphere can contribute to plant health, growth and productivity. Although the importance of the rhizosphere microbiome is known, we know little about the underlying mechanisms that drive microbiome assembly and ...
