The priming effect (PE) is a key mechanism contributing to the carbon balance of the soil
ecosystem. Almost 100 years of research since its discovery in 1926 have led to a rich body …

Mineral weathering bacteria play essential roles in nutrient cycling and plant nutrition.
However, we are far from having a comprehensive view of the factors regulating their …

Microbial weathering processes can significantly promote soil properties and reduce rock-to-
soil ratio. Some soil-inhabiting bacteria exhibit efficient rock-dissolution abilities by releasing …

Burkholderia ambifaria T16 is a bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of barley plants that
showed a remarkable antifungal activity. This strain was also able to degrade fusaric acid (5 …

To mobilize nutrients entrapped into minerals and rocks, heterotrophic bacteria living in
nutrient-poor environments have developed different mechanisms based mainly on …

While the role of mineral weathering (MWe) bacteria in nutrient cycling and plant growth
promotion is established, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved and how …

Mineral weathering by microorganisms is considered to occur through a succession of
mechanisms based on acidification and chelation. While the role of acidification is …

Silicate mineral weathering (dissolution) plays important roles in soil formation and global
biogeochemical cycling. In this study, a combination of genomics, transcriptomics, and …

This research aimed to characterize the bacteria associated with the rhizosphere of
Vaccinium floribundumen in the moorland of Cubillín, town of Chambo, province of …
