Differential impacts of willow and mineral fertilizer on bacterial communities and biodegradation in diesel fuel oil-contaminated soil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Despite decades of research there is limited understanding of how vegetation impacts the ability of microbial communities to process organic contaminants in soil.

Simulated Root Exudation Gradient Reveals Dosage‐Dependent Carbon Sequestration in Desertification Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudates serve as a key driver for the restoration of soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly in aeolian desertification ecosystems where aboveground litter retention is limited. While Salix cupularis is widely planted as an effective pioneer shrub for ecological rehabilitation on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, how the quantity of its root ...

In vivo Pyro-SIP assessing active gut microbiota of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The gut microbiota is of crucial importance for the host with considerable metabolic activity. Although great efforts have been made toward characterizing microbial diversity, measuring components' metabolic activity surprisingly hasn't kept pace.

Metabolic pattern across energy imbalance: An exploratory metabolomics study of female body weight extremes including anorexia nervosa and athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In anorexia nervosa (AN), prolonged metabolic adaptation to severe energy deficiency can impair treatment efficacy. Similarly, low energy availability poses a recognized risk to athletes, potentially compromising health and performance. This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize the plasma metabolic pattern of females with varying ...

Organic Matter Type Defines the Composition of Active Microbial Communities Originating From Anoxic Baltic Sea Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Carbon cycling in anoxic marine sediments is dependent on uncultured microbial communities. Niches of heterotrophic microorganisms are defined by organic matter (OM) type and the different phases in OM degradation.

No‐Tillage History and Residue Application Methods Regulate Net Carbon Balance via Contrasting Priming Responses in Andosols

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT No‐tillage (NT) is promoted as a climate‐change mitigation practice for its potential to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Yet the effects of long‐term NT legacies and residue application methods on new C stabilization, priming effects (PE), and net C balance in humid Andosols remain unclear.

Proteomic Stable Isotope Probing Reveals Biosynthesis Dynamics of Slow Growing Methane Based Microbial Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Marine methane seep habitats represent an important control on the global flux of methane. Nucleotide-based meta-omics studies outline community-wide metabolic potential, but expression patterns of environmentally relevant proteins are poorly ...

Metabolic Regulation of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Cleavage and Dimethyl Sulfide Production in Halomonas sp. D47

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a major marine organosulfur compound central to climate‐relevant dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production. In Halomonas sp. D47, DMSP catabolism is revealed to be coordinated by two transcriptional regulators, AcuR and AcuZ, which control gene expression by sensing DMSP and its metabolites.

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.
