Phyllosphere or aerial surface of plants represents the globally largest and peculiar
microbial habitat that inhabits diverse and rich communities of bacteria, fungi, viruses …

The plant leaf surface, or phyllosphere, represents a unique and challenging microbial
biome with a diverse and dynamic community of commensal, parasitic, and mutualistic …

Plants modulate the soil microbiota by root exudation assembling a complex rhizosphere
microbiome with organisms spanning different trophic levels. Here, we assessed the …

Over the past decades, rapid industrialization along with the overutilization of organic
pollutants/pesticides has altered the environmental circumstances. Moreover, various …

The importance of host‐associated microorganisms and their biotic interactions for plant
health and performance has been increasingly acknowledged. Protists, main predators and …

Protists are abundant, diverse and perform essential functions in soils. Protistan community
structure and its change across time or space are traditionally studied at the species level …

Cercozoans and heterolobose amoebae are found across terrestrial habitats where they
feed on other unicellular microbes, including bacteria, fungi and microalgae. They constitute …

Food safety of leafy greens is an emerging public health issue as they can harbor
opportunistic human pathogens (OHPs) and expose OHPs to consumers. Protists are an …

The number of plant species regarded as non-mycorrhizal increases at higher latitudes, and
several plant species in the High-Arctic Archipelago Svalbard have been reported as non …

Plant performance is impacted by rhizosphere bacteria. These bacteria are subjected to both
bottom-up control by root exudates as well as top-down control by predators, particularly …
