The Role of Laccase from Zygomycetous Fungus Mortierella elasson in Humic Acids Degradation
Biochemical stability of soil humus is an important factor affecting soil quality. Fungi are among the most efficient decomposers of humic matter due to presence of oxidative enzymes, including phenoloxidase laccase. Production of laccase by zygomycetes,

Lipophilic Cations Rescue the Growth of Yeast under the Conditions of Glycolysis Overflow
Chemicals inducing a mild decrease in the ATP/ADP ratio are considered as caloric restriction mimetics as well as treatments against obesity. Screening for such chemicals in animal model systems requires a lot of time and labor. Here, we present a system

Effects of Plutonium on Soil Microorganisms [PDF]
As a first phase in an investigation of the role of the soil microflora in Pu complex formation and solubilization in soil, the effects of Pu concentration, form, and specific activity on microbial types, colony-forming units, and CO 2 evolution rate were determined in soils amended with C and N sources to optimize ...

The Evolution of Ecological Diversity in Acidobacteria
Acidobacteria occur in a large variety of ecosystems worldwide and are particularly abundant and highly diverse in soils. In spite of their diversity, only few species have been characterized to date which makes Acidobacteria one of the most poorly ...

Links between soil microbial communities and plant traits in a species-rich grassland under long-term climate change [PDF]
Climate change can influence soil microorganisms directly by altering their growth and activity but also indirectly via effects on the vegetation, which modifies the availability of resources.

Phenotype Switching in Metal-Tolerant Bacteria Isolated from a Hyperaccumulator Plant
As an adaptation to unfavorable conditions, microorganisms may represent different phenotypes. Azolla filiculoides L. is a hyperaccumulator of pollutants, but the functions of its microbiome have not been well recognized to date.

Prominent effect of soil network heterogeneity on microbial invasion [PDF]
Using a network representation for real soil samples and mathematical models for microbial spread, we show that the structural heterogeneity of the soil habitat may have a very significant influence on the size of microbial invasions of the soil pore ...
