Nitrogen is an essential element of life, and nitrogen availability often limits crop yields.
Since the Green Revolution, massive amounts of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers have been …

Endophytic bacteria, which interact closely with their host, are an essential part of the plant
microbiome. These interactions enhance plant tolerance to environmental changes as well …

Burkholderia sensu lato is a large and complex group, containing pathogenic,
phytopathogenic, symbiotic and non-symbiotic strains from a very wide range of …

Although biochar has great potential for heavy metal removal from sediments or soils, its
impact on arsenic biogeochemistry in contaminated paddy fields remains poorly …

Nitrogen (N) deficiency in mining-contaminated habitats usually hinders plant growth and
thus hampers tailing revegetation. Biological N fixation (BNF) is an essential …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is controlled by intricate regulatory mechanisms to ensure
that fixed nitrogen is readily assimilated into biomass and not released to the environment …

Organic substrates and biochar are important in controlling arsenic release from sediments
and soils; however, little is known about their impact on arsenic-reducing bacteria and …

Plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) stimulate plant growth through diverse
mechanisms. In addition to biological nitrogen fixation, diazotrophic PGPB can improve …

By improving plant nutrition and alleviating abiotic and biotic stresses, plant growth-
promoting bacteria (PGPB) can help to develop eco-friendly and sustainable agricultural …

Background After two decades of extensive microbiome research, the current forefront of
scientific exploration involves moving beyond description and classification to uncovering …
