Members of the Genus Methylobacter Are Inferred To Account for the Majority of Aerobic Methane Oxidation in Oxic Soils from a Freshwater Wetland

mBio, 2018
Microbial carbon degradation and methanogenesis in wetland soils generate a large proportion of atmospheric methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas.

Antibiotic Resistance in Nitrogen-Fixing Rhizobial Strains: Implications for Agriculture

Applied and Environmental Soil Science
Rhizobia are biological nitrogen-fixing nonpathogenic microorganisms that make inert nitrogen available to legumes establishing symbiosis, living in nodules to promote growth.

BIOMASS AND MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN SOILS UNDER DIFFERENT CROPPING SYSTEMS IN THE SÃO FRANCISCO VALLEY

Revista de Agricultura Neotropical
The inadequate management of the soil can intensify the degradation and change the soil structure, providing a significant increase in gas emission, affecting mainly the dynamics of CO2emission, besides favoring the increase of the mineralization rate ...

Soil Microbiology and Nutrient Cycling

, 2010
Soil organisms play a central role in the recycling of nutrients in soils, making them available to plants, transforming some nutrient elements to gaseous forms which can be lost from soil, and other transformations which predispose nutrients to loss. In this chapter we will illustrate these processes in the context of sustainable crop production.

Functional insights of novel Bathyarchaeia reveal metabolic versatility in their role in peatlands of the Peruvian Amazon

Microbiology Spectrum
The decomposition of soil organic carbon within tropical peatlands is influenced by the functional composition of the microbial community. In this study, building upon our previous work, we recovered a total of 28 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs ...
