Linking the soil microbiome to soil health [PDF]

SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2020
Soil health is the capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem. Maintenance of soil health is essential to agricultural sustainable development of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbiome is the key player for conservation of soil health. They govern biogeochemical cycling of elements, pollutant degradation, and rhizosphere immunity, which ...

Does Soil Contribute to the Human Gut Microbiome?

Microorganisms, 2019
Soil and the human gut contain approximately the same number of active microorganisms, while human gut microbiome diversity is only 10% that of soil biodiversity and has decreased dramatically with the modern lifestyle.

Taxonomic Features and Comparison of the Gut Microbiome from Two Edible Fungus-Farming Termites (Macrotermes falciger, M. natalensis) Harvested in the Vhembe District of Limpopo, South Africa [PDF]

, 2019
Background Termites are an important food resource for many human populations around the world, and are a good supply of nutrients. The fungus-farming ‘higher’ termite members of Macrotermitinae are also consumed by modern great apes and are implicated ...

Effects of Abiotic Stress on Soil Microbiome [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Rhizospheric organisms have a unique manner of existence since many factors can influence the shape of the microbiome. As we all know, harnessing the interaction between soil microbes and plants is critical for sustainable agriculture and ecosystems.

Deconstructing the Soil Microbiome into Reduced-Complexity Functional Modules

mBio, 2020
The soil microbiome represents one of the most complex microbial communities on the planet, encompassing thousands of taxa and metabolic pathways, rendering holistic analyses computationally intensive and difficult.

Trends in Microbial Community Composition and Function by Soil Depth

Microorganisms, 2022
Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as chemical composition and physical structure change from surface layers to

Trophic Regulations of the Soil Microbiome

Trends in Microbiology, 2019
The soil microbiome regulates vital ecosystem functions ranging from primary production to soil carbon sequestration. Yet, we have only begun to understand the factors regulating the soil microbiome. While the importance of abiotic factors is increasingly recognized, the roles of trophic regulations in driving the structure and function of the soil ...

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]

, 2019
Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...

Metallic micronutrients are associated with the structure and function of the soil microbiome

Nature Communications, 2023
The relationship between metallic micronutrients and soil microorganisms, and thereby soil functioning, has been little explored. Here, we investigate the relationship between metallic micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo and Ni) and the abundance ...

16S rRNA sequencing reveals likely beneficial core microbes within faecal samples of the EU protected slug Geomalacus maculosus [PDF]

, 2018
The EU-protected slug Geomalacus maculosus Allman occurs only in the West of Ireland and in northern Spain and Portugal. We explored the microbial community found within the faeces of Irish specimens with a view to determining whether a core microbiome ...
