In the last decade, attention to extreme environments has increased because of interests to
isolate previously unknown extremophilic microorganisms in pure culture and to profile their …

Dust and sandstorm events inject substantial quantities of foreign microorganisms into
global ecosystems, with the ability to impact distant environments. The majority of these …

Metagenomics and metaproteomics analyses were used to determine the microbial diversity
and taxon composition, as well as the biochemical potentials of the microbiome on the …

The surfaces of historical stone monuments are visibly covered with a layer of colonizing
microorganisms and their degradation products. In this study, a metadata analysis was …

We used the T-RFLP technique combined with Ion Torrent (PGM) sequencing of 16S rRNA
and multivariate analysis to study the structure of bulk soil and rhizosphere bacterial …

Bioaerosol transport in the atmosphere disperses microbial species between continents,
affects human and plant health, and may influence hydrologic cycling. However, there have …

The phylogeny of the class Actinobacteria remains controversial, essentially because it is
very sensitive to the choice of dataset and phylogenetic methods. We used a test proposed …

Processes influencing the transport of airborne bacterial communities in the atmosphere are
poorly understood. Here, we report comprehensive and quantitative evidence of the key …

Bio-organic fertilizer (BOF) was effective to promote the phytoremediation efficiency of heavy
metal (loid) s-contaminated saline soil (HCSS) by improving rhizosphere soil properties …

Abstract Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) could produce acceptable root yield in low-
nitrogen (N) soils, with substantial N uptake potentially attributed to supplies provided via …
