Relative abundances of bacterial phyla are strong indicators of community-scale microbial growth rates in soil

Environmental Microbiome
Background To improve our understanding of microbial systems, it is essential to refine the conceptual frameworks that connect microorganisms to their ecological functions.

Low-lying agricultural peatland sustainability under managed water regimes [PDF]

, 2006
The combined effects of ditchwater management regime and sub-irrigation spacing on water table fluctuation have been investigated for two low lying agricultural peatlands in England, West Sedgemoor in the Somerset Moors and Methwold Fen in the Norfolk ...

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.

Selenium alters the gene content but not the taxonomic composition of the soil microbiome

Environmental Microbiome
Background Microbiomes, essential to ecosystem processes, face strong selective forces that can drive rapid evolutionary adaptation. However, our understanding of evolutionary processes within natural systems remains limited. We investigated evolution in

Multi‐Enzyme Mimetic Molybdenum Nitride Nanozymes Reshape Subgingival Microenvironment for Synergistic Periodontitis Therapy via ROS Regulation and Microbiome Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...

Darwinian soil evolution: A review

Habitable Planet
Soils diversified through geological time with the evolution life on land, from microbes in Archean soils, to fungi and amoebozoa in early Proterozoic soils, and lichens in late Proterozoic soils. Ordovician non-vascular land plants lived in Entisols and Aridisols, but trees created clayey subsurface horizons of Alfisols and Ultisols, and ferruginous ...

Mitogenomic architecture and evolution of the soil ciliates Colpoda

mSystems
Colpoda , one of the most widespread ciliated protozoa in soil, are poorly understood in regard to their genetics and evolution. Our research revealed extreme mitochondrial gene rearrangements dominated by gene loss events, potentially leading to the streamlining of Colpoda mitogenomes.

Biomonitoring of Soil Quality By Soil FAUNA [PDF]

, 2015
The awareness of the problems related to soil pollution, in heavily populated areas, has led to a growing interest in the soil fauna study; the biological quality of the soil through the soil fauna is, to date, one of the most approved methodologies ...

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.
