Global biogeography of N₂-fixing microbes: nifH amplicon database and analytics workflow [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Marine dinitrogen (N2) fixation is a globally significant biogeochemical process carried out by a specialized group of prokaryotes (diazotrophs), yet our understanding of their ecology is constantly evolving. Although marine N2 fixation is often ascribed

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Harnessing synthetic microbial communities with nitrogen-fixing activity to promote rice growth

Open Agriculture
Improving the biological nitrogen fixation of rhizosphere bacteria in rice is expected to improve plant growth and productivity. Most studies have focused on the application of a single N2-fixing bacterium on rice plants.

Warm‐wet transition restructures arid lake microbiomes and functional potential

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study summarizes how a long‐term warm‐dry to warm‐wet transition restructures microbiomes and functional potential in Lake Bosten, an arid lake in northwestern China. Warm‐wet hydroclimatic change increased water level and hydrological connectivity, while decreasing salinity and total nitrogen.

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Molecular Analysis of the Microbial Guild Fixing Nitrogen in Ricefield Soils in Missouri

Microbiology Research
Non-symbiotic diazotrophic microbes are important contributors to global N budgets in cereal crops. Knowledge of the biogeography of the organisms in this functional guild increases our understanding of biological N fixation in diverse locations and ...

Possible association of diazotrophs with marine zooplankton in the Pacific Ocean

MicrobiologyOpen, 2016
Dinitrogen fixation, the biological reduction in N2 gas to ammonia contributes to the supply of new nitrogen in the surface ocean. To understand the diversity and abundance of potentially diazotrophic (N2 fixing) microorganisms associated with marine ...

Outer‐Sphere Tuning of Synthetic Iron–Sulfur Clusters Within Nanoscale Cage Frameworks

Small, EarlyView.
Noncovalent encapsulation of a synthetic iron–sulfur cluster within hydrophobic, naphthalenediimide (NDI)‐paneled cages is shown to lead to dramatic changes in the electronic structure and covalency of the Fe─S core. ABSTRACT As atomic‐scale archetypes for multi‐electron transfer, iron–sulfur clusters are compelling candidates for the design of redox ...
