Culturomics and Amplicon-Based Metagenomic Insights into the Bacteria of Soils with High Yield of Oryza sativa L. subsp. Japonica
Researchers used culturomics and amplicon-based metagenomics to characterise bacterial communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils of high-yield Oryza sativa japonica paddy fields, identifying the microorganisms contributing to rice growth adaptability. The combined approach revealed the taxonomic composition and functional potential of the bacterial community in the paddy field agroecosystem.
Potential effect of key soil bacterial taxa on the increase of rice yield under milk vetch rotation
A long-term paddy field experiment found that milk vetch rotation enriched key phosphate-solubilizing bacterial taxa including Vicinamibacterales, which correlated positively with soil phosphorus availability and ultimately with increased rice yield.
Differences in the Microbial Composition and Function of the Arundo donax Rhizosphere Under Different Cultivation Conditions
Researchers compared the microbial communities in the root zones of giant reed (Arundo donax) grown in hydroponic versus soil conditions. The study found that hydroponic cultivation resulted in lower microbial diversity but higher abundances of nitrogen-fixing and photosynthetic bacteria, providing insights into how cultivation methods influence root-associated microorganism communities.
Peer Review #2 of "The application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in Solanum lycopersicum production in the agricultural system: a review (v0.1)"
This peer review evaluates a study on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in tomato production, assessing the manuscript's coverage of rhizobacteria structure, function, and diversity in soil. The review addresses the potential of PGPR as eco-friendly biological control agents and nutrient providers that could substitute harmful agricultural chemicals.
Inter-phylum negative interactions affect soil bacterial community dynamics and functions during soybean development under long-term nitrogen fertilization
Researchers found that the growth stage of soybean plants had a stronger influence on soil bacterial communities than 16 years of nitrogen fertilization, while fertilization more strongly shaped nitrogen-processing gene activity. Negative interactions between certain bacterial groups helped explain how soil microbial communities change over a crop's growing season.
The interplay between root exudates and Cross-kingdom synthetic microbiota enhances the resistance of Vicia faba to Fusarium wilt disease
This study found that cross-kingdom synthetic microbiota consisting of bacteria and fungi, in combination with root exudate signals from Vicia faba, can significantly enhance plant resistance to Fusarium wilt disease by restructuring the rhizosphere microbial community.
Deciphering the response of nodule bacteriome homeostasis in the bulk soil-rhizosphere-root-nodule ecosystem to soil microplastic pollution
Researchers examined how polyethylene microplastic contamination in soil affects the bacterial communities associated with legume plant root nodules. They found that microplastic treatments accelerated nodule formation but disrupted the balance of beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the nodules. The study suggests that soil microplastic pollution may interfere with the symbiotic relationship between legume crops and their nitrogen-fixing bacterial partners.
Soil metagenomics reveals the effect of nitrogen on soil microbial communities and nitrogen-cycle functional genes in the rhizosphere of Panax ginseng
Researchers studied how different levels of nitrogen fertilizer affect the soil microbial communities around ginseng roots. They found that moderate nitrogen boosted beneficial microbes and improved ginseng yields, while excessive nitrogen decreased soil pH, reduced microbial diversity, and increased disease-causing organisms. The study highlights the importance of balanced fertilizer use for maintaining healthy soil ecosystems in agricultural settings.
