Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

Ecological and evolutive implications of bacterial defences against predators
A Jousset - Environmental microbiology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Bacterial communities are often heavily consumed by microfaunal predators, such as
protozoa and nematodes. Predation is an important cause of mortality and determines the …

[HTML][HTML] Assembly patterns of the rhizosphere microbiome along the longitudinal root axis of maize (Zea mays L.)
It is by now well proven that different plant species within their specific root systems select for
distinct subsets of microbiota from bulk soil–their individual rhizosphere microbiomes. In …
