Changes in Environmental Conditions Differentially Affect the Bacterial Microbiome Communities in Different Apple Fruit Tissues

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study investigates the bacterial communities in ‘Honeycrisp’ apples in Atlantic Canada, highlighting how weather, and farming practices shape these communities in different fruit tissues. Weather impacts core and peel tissues bacteria differently across growing seasons, identifies key microbes in microbial interaction networks, and provides ...

Identification of active denitrifiers by DNA-Stable Isotope Probing and amplicon sequencing reveals Betaproteobacteria as responsible for attenuation of nitrate contamination in a low impacted aquifer [PDF]

, 2017
Groundwater reservoirs constitute important freshwater resources. However, these ecosystems are highly vulnerable to contamination and have to rely on the resident microbiota to attenuate the impact of this contamination.

Impact of Fertilisation on the Bacterial Core Microbiome of Grassland Soils: Abundance in the Field and Growth In Vitro

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Effects of different organic fertilisation regimes on the bacterial microbiome of grassland soil were analysed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Different fertilisation regimes led to distinct changes in the composition of the bacterial microbiome and effects were most pronounced when soil was fertilised with pig slurry.

Destabilization of the Tumor-Inducing Plasmid from an Octopine-Type Agrobacterium tumefaciens Lineage Drives a Large Deletion in the Co-resident At Megaplasmid

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Bacteria with multi-replicon genome organizations, including members of the family Rhizobiaceae, often carry a variety of niche-associated functions on large plasmids.

Comparative metagenomics of PHA synthase genes in soil [PDF]

, 2017
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers produced naturally by bacteria. They are of considerable scientific interest as fundamental components of bacterial carbon metabolism and have biotechnological applications as potential bioplastics.

Cover crops and manure compost shift microbial functions and diversity in Southeastern sandy soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Organic inputs are vital to sustainable agriculture because of their capacity to improve soil nutrients and nourish soil microbial communities. However, it is still not well known how organic inputs modify soil microbial functions. Here, we studied the effects of cover crop inclusion and manure compost amendment on maicrobial communities in ...

A Comprehensive Study of Biohopanoid Production in Alphaproteobacteria: Biosynthetic, Chemotaxonomical, and Geobiological Implications

Geobiology, Volume 23, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Bacteriohopanepolyol derivatives (BHPDs) and dia‐ and catagenetic products formed from these bacterial membrane modifiers are extensively used as biomarkers in molecular ecological and geoscience studies. Some BHPDs can be assigned to specific phylogenetic bacterial groups. With the vastly increasing availability of complete bacterial genomes,

Leaf-Encapsulated Vaccines: Agroinfiltration and Transient Expression of the Antigen Staphylococcal Endotoxin B in Radish Leaves. [PDF]

, 2018
Transgene introgression is a major concern associated with transgenic plant-based vaccines. Agroinfiltration can be used to selectively transform nonreproductive organs and avoid introgression.

Synthetic Polyploidisation Enhances Fusarium graminearum Tolerance in Wheat by Reshaping the Transcriptome and Strengthening the Microbiome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 5252-5278, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Polyploidisation is a natural evolutionary mechanism that enhances plant stress tolerance and environmental adaptability; however, its impact on microbiome homeostasis remains poorly understood. In this study, we selected a nascent euploid synthetic hexaploid wheat line (HG116; 2n = 6x = 42, BBAADD) by selfing a triploid F1 hybrid of Triticum ...
