Bacteroidetes are prevalent in soil ecosystems and are associated with various eukaryotic
hosts, including plants, animals, and humans. The ubiquity and diversity of Bacteroidetes …

Pesticides are essential to modern human production activities, particularly those increasing
global food production and quality; however, corresponding pesticide contamination is …

Bacteroidetes are abundant pathogen-suppressing members of the plant microbiome that
contribute prominently to rhizosphere phosphorus mobilisation, a frequent growth-limiting …

The phyllosphere, which lato sensu consists of the aerial parts of plants, and therefore
primarily, of the set of photosynthetic leaves, is one of the most prevalent microbial habitats …

Weeds and crop plants select their microbiota from the same pool of soil microorganisms,
however, the ecology of weed microbiomes is poorly understood. We analysed the …

Phyllosphere microbial communities inhabit the aerial plant parts, such as leaves and
flowers, where they form complex molecular interactions with the host plant. Contrary to the …

Decades of intensive discharge from industrial activities into coastal systems has resulted in
the accumulation of a variety of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine waters and …

Amplicon-based analysis of 16S rRNA genes and transcripts was used to assess the effect
of tree species composition on soil bacterial community structure and function in a temperate …

Members of the Flavobacterium genus are widely distributed in nature where they are often
associated with the capacity to degrade complex organic compounds. A myriad of recent …

Proteinaceous compounds are abundant forms of organic nitrogen in soil and aquatic
