Effects of allyl isothiocyanate fumigation on medicinal plant root knot disease control, plant survival, and the soil bacterial community

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a natural product with high volatility that is used as a biofumigant to alleviate soil-borne plant diseases, and problems such as root knot nematodes (RKNs) that necessitate continuous cropping.

Environmental DNA: Preliminary Characterization of Microbiota in Three Sicilian Lakes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Microbial content depends on the origin of the sample. This figure shows the relative abundance of bacteria in three lakes (Poma, Piana, and Scanzano) in Sicily, giving the first insights into microbial communities residing in those environments. ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems play a key role in biogeochemical cycles and face various anthropogenic ...

Use of Microbial Biofilms to Assess Groundwater Quality in Karstic Ecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Analyses of prokaryotic diversity and community structures of biofilms showed variations linked to the nutrient and organic matter conditions in the studied karstic stations. Biofilms developed on artificial substrates appeared as promising indicators to assess groundwater quality in karst.

Insights into the role of crustose coralline algae microbiomes on coral larval settlement in the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome
Background Crustose coralline algae (CCA) enhance coral recruitment, but the response of coral larval settlement to CCA varies between CCA species. Furthermore, it is unclear whether coral larvae respond to settlement cues from the algal host itself or ...
