Salinization is considered a major threat to soil fertility and agricultural productivity
throughout the world. Soil microbes play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem stability and …

Soil represents the largest reservoir of Archaea on Earth. Present-day archaeal diversity in
soils globally is dominated by members of the class Nitrososphaeria. The evolutionary …

Studies on nitrification, a crucial process of biogeochemical N cycling, have traditionally
focused on autotrophic microorganisms. Recent discoveries, however, highlight the …

Soil microbiota is associated with plant growth and nutrition. Investigation of plant–soil
interaction is essential for revealing the changes of microbial dynamics in the soil …

Wastewater reuse for irrigation has become an important practice in many countries in the
context of global water scarcity. However, knowledge about the potential soil impact of …

DNA/RNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) is a powerful tool to link in situ microbial activity to
sequencing data. Every SIP dataset captures distinct information about microbial community …

Ammonia oxidation is the rate-limiting step of the global nitrogen cycle, and it is mainly
catalyzed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). AOA can carry out …

Bioaugmentation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has the ability to
alleviate the adverse impacts of environmental stresses on plants. Therefore, this is known …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) play an important role in nitrification,
