Bacterial diversity in longan orchard alluvial soil is influenced by cultivation time and soil properties

Frontiers in Soil Science
IntroductionLongan is a perennial crop and profitable export fruit well-suited to the Mekong Delta's climate and soils. Although soil deterioration in longan orchards has been studied, little research has addressed soil bacterial communities and their ...

Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two‐Component Protein Shell

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports the discovery that geosmin biosynthesis is compartmentalized inside a two‐component protein shell in many bacteria. Sequestration of geosmin synthase inside a Family 2B encapsulin nanocompartment improves geosmin yield and increases enzyme stability as compared to the free enzyme.

Soil pH mediates the impact of pesticides on bacterial communities, diversity, and abundance

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionPesticides are widely used in agriculture, yet their non-target effects on soil microbial communities remain poorly understood. This study investigates the short-term impact of five herbicides and three fungicides used for the protection of ...

Agrochemicals and Bacterial Diversity in Cultivated Tropical Soils [PDF]

, 2013
Agrochemicals provide yield protection, prevent and cure crop disease, provide insulation to reduce energy use and provide countless other benefits that increase the standard of living for civilization as a whole. While the chemicals industry has made good progress reducing its overall environmental footprint, chemicals can also create a negative ...

Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Warming enhances the effects of nitrogen addition on fungal but not on bacterial diversity in an alpine meadow

Basic and Applied Ecology
Warming and nitrogen (N) deposition significantly affect soil microbial community characteristics. However, the responses of bacterial and fungal diversity to warming and N deposition, as well as the dominant influencing factors, remain unclear ...

Impact of root diversity upon coupling between soil C and N accumulation and bacterial community dynamics and activity: Result of a 30 year rotation experiment

, 2017
Many ecosystem functions and processes depend on biodiversity, however, the effect of root diversity in agroecosystems on soil bacterial communities and processes remained largely unknown.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Allium sativum, a Natural and Pharmaco‐Remedial Panacea for Entero‐Gastritis, Antibiocidal/Dysbiogenesis, and Systemic Health Relevance

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Natural Pharmaco‐remedial impacts of Allium sativum on Systemic health. ABSTRACT Arising from the emergence of diverse difficult‐to‐treat health cases, alterative‐therapeutic strategies have become a potential way forward for management/control. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), various plant materials have been sourced as alterative‐therapeutic ...

Effects of stand age on community composition and diversity of soil bacteria and fungi in poplar plantations in Northeast China

Frontiers in Plant Science
Stand age is one of the most important indicators of plantation development status after afforestation. Soil microbial community plays an essential role in ecosystem functioning. Yet, the responses of soil microbial community composition and diversity to
