Circadian regulation produces a biological measure of time within cells. The daily cycle in
the availability of light for photosynthesis causes dramatic changes in biochemical …

Background Circadian rhythms, observed across all domains of life, enable organisms to
anticipate and prepare for diel changes in environmental conditions. In bacteria, a circadian …

As holobiont, a plant is intrinsically connected to its microbiomes. However, some
characteristics of these microbiomes, such as their taxonomic composition, biological and …

Soil is an extremely complex and dynamic matrix, in part, due to the wide diversity of
organisms living within it. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the fundamental substrate on which …

The electrical potential of the mycelia of a cord-forming wood decay fungus, Pholiota
brunnescens, was monitored for over 100 days on a plain agar plate during the colonization …

Metabolic interactions are fundamental to the assembly and functioning of microbiomes,
including those of plants. However, disentangling the molecular basis of these interactions …

Circadian clocks are pervasive throughout nature, yet only recently has this adaptive
regulatory program been described in nonphotosynthetic bacteria. Here, we describe an …

Effective colonization by microbe in the rhizosphere is critical for establishing a beneficial
symbiotic relationship with the host plant. Bacillus subtilis, a soil-dwelling bacterium that is …

In addition to their roles in developmental and metabolic processes, MYB transcription
factors play crucial roles in plant defense mechanisms and stress responses. A …

Bacteria have evolved many strategies to spare energy when nutrients become scarce. One
widespread such strategy is facultative phototrophy, which helps heterotrophs supplement …
