Involvement of Flagellin in Kin Recognition between Bacillus velezensis Strains

mSystems, 2022
Kin discrimination in nature is an effective way for bacteria to stabilize population cooperation and maintain progeny benefits. However, so far, the research on kin discrimination for Bacillus still has concentrated on “attack and defense” between cells

Soil microbiome manipulation triggers direct and possible indirect suppression against Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Soil microbiome manipulation can potentially reduce the use of pesticides by improving the ability of soils to resist or recover from pathogen infestation, thus generating natural suppressiveness.

Biosynthetic gene cluster profiling predicts the positive association between antagonism and phylogeny in Bacillus

Nature Communications, 2022
Interference competition exemplified by antagonism remains controversial. Using comparative genomic analysis and antagonistic assessments, this study shows that the distribution profile of biosynthetic gene clusters within Bacillus genomes is consistent ...

High abundance of Ralstonia solanacearum changed tomato rhizosphere microbiome and metabolome

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Rhizosphere microbiome is dynamic and influenced by environment factors surrounded including pathogen invasion. We studied the effects of Ralstonia solanacearum pathogen abundance on rhizosphere microbiome and metabolome by using high ...

Trichoderma-amended biofertilizer stimulates soil resident Aspergillus population for joint plant growth promotion

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2022
Application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can contribute to sustainable agricultural ecosystems. From a three-year field experiment, we already found that the addition of Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer (BF) significantly improved crop ...

Long-Term Organic–Inorganic Fertilization Regimes Alter Bacterial and Fungal Communities and Rice Yields in Paddy Soil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microorganisms are the most abundant and diverse organisms in soils and have important effects on soil fertility. In this study, effects of the long-term fertilization treatments no fertilizer (CK), chemical fertilizer (nitrogen–phosphorus–potassium (NPK)
