Plant Growth-Promoting Soil Bacteria: Nitrogen Fixation, Phosphate Solubilization, Siderophore Production, and Other Biological Activities

Plants, 2023
This review covers the literature data on plant growth-promoting bacteria in soil, which can fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphates, produce and secrete siderophores, and may exhibit several different behaviors simultaneously.

Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning

eLife, 2021
Theoretical and empirical advances have revealed the importance of biodiversity for stabilizing ecosystem functions through time. Despite the global degradation of soils, whether the loss of soil microbial diversity can destabilize ecosystem functioning ...

Exploring the Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Plant–Iron Homeostasis

Agriculture, 2023
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a vital symbiotic relationship with plants. Through their extensive hyphal networks, AMF extend the absorptive capacity of plant roots, thereby allowing plants to reach otherwise inaccessible micronutrient sources.

Dormancy and germination of microsclerotia of Verticillium longisporum are regulated by soil bacteria and soil moisture levels but not by nutrients

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The soil-borne pathogen Verticillium longisporum infects roots of its host plant, oilseed rape, and systemically colonizes stems where it finally forms microsclerotia at crop maturity.

Metagenomic Sequencing Reveals that the Assembly of Functional Genes and Taxa Varied Highly and Lacked Redundancy in the Earthworm Gut Compared with Soil under Vanadium Stress

mSystems, 2022
Exploring the ecological mechanism of microbial community assembly in soil and the earthworm gut in a vanadium polluted environment could help us understand the effects of vanadium stress on microbial diversity maintenance and function, as well as the ...
