Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1725-1739, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Predator–Microbe Dynamics Inform Strategies for Robust Synthetic Community Assembly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Review introduces ecological principles of predator–prey interactions as a new dimension in SynCom design. By linking microbial defence traits, encounter dynamics, and adaptive buffering, it outlines a framework for constructing predator‐resistant synthetic communities with enhanced resilience, stability, and functional performance under natural ...

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1097-1108, June 2026.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

Microbial Community Shifts and Plant Performance Improvements Driven by Bacillus firmus in Pampa Agroecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
The study shows that Bacillus firmus‐based bionematicides modulate soil microbiota and enhance soybean growth in the Pampa biome. Effects vary by location and time, with increased beneficial bacteria, reduced fungi, and decreased root nematode infestation. Overall, B.

Antimicrobial Secondary Metabolites From Rhizosphere‐Associated Streptomyces Species in Northern Nigerian Agricultural Soils: Genomic Mining and Bioactivity Assessment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Nigerian agricultural soils harbour diverse Streptomyces species producing novel antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Genomic mining revealed 187 biosynthetic gene clusters, leading to isolation of twelve new compounds with potent activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens, including MRSA and vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus. ABSTRACT Streptomyces

Elucidating the Functional and Taxonomic Diversity of Soil Microbial Communities From Three Commercial Soybean Farms in South Africa

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Prior to inoculation of soybeans, South African soils contain no Bradyhizobia that nodulate and fix nitrogen in soybeans. Soybean cultivation with prolonged inoculation resulted in the establishment and dominance of Bradyrhizobia in three soybean farms in South Africa as revealed by a microbial community study using shotgun metagenomics. ABSTRACT Prior
