Heavy‐Textured Rhizosphere Soils Enhance Microbial Nitrogen Fixation in a Desert Shrub Ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
N2 fixation occurred in a heavy‐textured soil profile (0–60 cm), especially in rhizospheres, and the sandy soil had slight N2 fixation only in the bulk topsoil (0–20 cm). Available N, nitrate‐N, SOC, clay content, microbial activity, nifH gene abundance, and the relative abundance of certain microbial taxa were the main drivers of N2 fixation in soils.

Ensifer-mediated Arabidopsis thaliana Root Transformation (E-ART): A Protocol to Analyse the Factors that Support Ensifer-mediated Transformation (EMT) of Plant Cells

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Ensifer adhaerens OV14, a soil borne alpha-proteobacteria of the Rhizobiaceae family, fortifies the novel plant transformation technology platform termed ‘Ensifer-mediated transformation’ (EMT).

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.

In Vivo Reductions in Methane and Urinary Nitrogen by Perennial Non‐Bloating Temperate Legume and Forb Functional Forages Produced in the Mountain West United States

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Ruminant livestock production is the greatest source of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) production, largely due to enteric methane (CH4) emissions. While the optimised feed rations used in confinement dairy and beef finishing operations can reduce CH4 emissions of individual animals compared with cattle on forage diets, the profitability of ...

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.

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 ...

Exo-Metabolites of Phaseolus vulgaris-Nodulating Rhizobial Strains

Metabolites, 2019
Rhizobia are able to convert dinitrogen into biologically available forms of nitrogen through their symbiotic association with leguminous plants. This results in plant growth promotion, and also in conferring host resistance to different types of stress.

Cold atmospheric plasma treatment induces oxidative stress and alters microbial community profile in the leaves of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum var. Kiera) plant

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract The oxidative species generated by cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) treatment can impact the plant stress response system. We hypothesized that this response is not limited to the site of CAP application and it is transmitted through the plant. The resulting stress response can influence the plant microbiome on the intact plant.

Dynamics of the Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Gut Microbiota Throughout the Overwintering Period in Canada

Microorganisms, 2020
Microbial symbionts inhabiting the honeybee gut (i.e., gut microbiota) are essential for food digestion, immunity, and gut protection of their host. The taxonomic composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic throughout the honeybee life cycle and the ...

Interactions with alloparents are associated with the diversity of infant skin and fecal bacterial communities in Chicago, United States

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Introduction: Social interactions shape the infant microbiome by providing opportunities for caregivers to spread bacteria through physical contact. With most research focused on the impact of maternal–infant contact on the infant gut microbiome, it is unclear how alloparents (i.e., caregivers other than the parents) influence the bacterial ...
