Antibiotic Resistance in Nitrogen-Fixing Rhizobial Strains: Implications for Agriculture
Applied and Environmental Soil ScienceRhizobia are biological nitrogen-fixing nonpathogenic microorganisms that make inert nitrogen available to legumes establishing symbiosis, living in nodules to promote growth.

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.Aqueous extracts from Pistia stratiotes and Pontederia crassipes inhibit Microcystis aeruginosa while stimulating its associated microbiota. Reintroduction of microbiota into fresh cyanobacterial cultures reduced allelopathic effects, likely through allelochemical degradation and antioxidative responses.

An evolutionary perspective on the response‐effect framework
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 298-310, February 2026.Abstract The response‐effect framework (REF) has provided a foundational approach in functional ecology, using traits to predict how species respond to environmental factors (‘response traits’) and influence ecosystem functioning (‘effect traits’).

N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 517-533, February 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

Host Oxidative Response Capacity Determines Longevity Outcomes of Microbial Interventions
Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.Genetic variation determines whether microbial interactions extend or shorten host lifespan via redox homeostasis. This discovery highlights the critical role of host genetics in shaping microbiota‐driven aging, offering a new framework for precision microbiome interventions tailored to individual needs for promoting longevity.

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1442-1455, February 2026.Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.
