Bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated soil: a review on indispensable role of soil bacteria
Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022 Purpose: Scientists have identified a plenty of bacterial strains having ability to degrade pesticide residues accumulated in the environment. Due to wide variation of chemical properties of pesticides, a single strain may not be versatile.

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 ...

Toward a census of bacteria in soil
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 For more than a century, microbiologists have sought to determine the species richness of bacteria in soil, but the extreme complexity and unknown structure of soil microbial communities have obscured the answer. We developed a statistical model that makes the problem of estimating richness statistically accessible by evaluating the characteristics of ...

Ecological distribution of antibiotic resistance of soil bacteria in Zhejiang Province
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2013 Within a relatively short period of time after the first antimicrobial drugs were introduced, bacteria began exhibiting varying degrees of resistance. The excessive use (and abuse) of antibiotics in agriculture, and in both human and veterinary medicine,

The Decomposition of Toluene by Soil Bacteria
Journal of General Microbiology, 1964 Summary: Strains of two bacteria, a Pseudomonas and an Achromobacter, which grow with toluene, benzene or certain other related aromatic compounds as sole carbon source were isolated from soil. The use of aromatic compounds by these bacteria was an induced phenomenon.
