Pulicaria incisa Infusion Modulates the Gut Microbiota and Improves Locomotor Activity and Exploratory Behavior in Aging Mice

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
‐Pi infusion significantly improved locomotor activity and exploratory behavior in aging mice; its bioactive compounds may have direct effects on behavior, which may be accompanied by a putative indirect effect involving the gut microbiota. ‐Pi infusion consumption restored commensal Bacilli levels and caused a significant decrease in Clostridia levels

Characterization of microbiota composition and presence of selected antibiotic resistance genes in carriage water of ornamental fish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
International trade with ornamental fish is gradually recognized as an important source of a wide range of different antibiotic resistant bacteria. In this study we therefore characterized the prevalence of selected antibiotic resistance genes in the ...

The gut microbiome promotes the growth performance of black soldier fly larvae by detoxifying uric acid

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study demonstrates the detrimental effects of exogenous uric acid (UA) on the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in UA degradation. We isolated UA‐degrading bacterial strains associated with BSF, including Enterococcus faecalis AHAU24.

Bacterial Communities Associated with Poa annua Roots in Central European (Poland) and Antarctic Settings (King George Island)

Microorganisms, 2021
Poa annua (annual bluegrass) is one of the most ubiquitous grass species in the world. In isolated regions of maritime Antarctica, it has become an invasive organism threatening native tundra communities.

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...

Viabilidad polínica de líneas mutantes de fríjol tépari (Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray.) bajo condiciones de estrés hídrico e inoculación con rizobios

Acta Agronómica, 2018
El fríjol tépari, Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray destaca por su tolerancia al estrés por sequía y altas temperaturas, sin embargo, presenta baja diversidad genética en sus formas cultivadas. Por lo que se inició un programa de inducción de mutaciones.

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.

Shifts in reclamation management strategies shape the role of exopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide‐producing bacteria during soil formation

Microbial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Polymeric substances produced by microbes play a key role for the development of soil aggregates. Here, we investigated the dynamics of bacterial families contributing to the formation of exopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides, major ...

Shifts in the rhizobiome during consecutive in planta enrichment for phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria differentially affect maize P status

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary Phosphorus (P) is despite its omnipresence in soils often unavailable for plants. Rhizobacteria able to solubilize P are therefore crucial to avoid P deficiency.
