Covering: up to 2015 In recent years, bacterial interspecies interactions mediated by small
molecule natural products have been found to give rise to a surprising array of phenotypes …

With rapidly improving sequencing technologies, scientists have recently gained the ability
to examine diverse microbial communities at high genomic resolution, revealing that both …

Bacterial Panicle Blight caused by Burkholderia glumae is a major disease of rice, which
has dramatically affected rice production around the world in the last years. In this study we …

Background Plants in nature interact with other species, among which are mutualistic
microorganisms that affect plant health. The co-existence of microbial symbionts with the …

In the absence of sunlight, caves harbor a great diversity of microbial colonies to extensive
biofilms with different sizes and colors visible to the naked eye. One of the most widespread …

The rationale of our bioprospecting campaigns is that the extremobiosphere, particularly the
deep sea and hyper-arid deserts, harbours undiscovered biodiversity that is likely to express …

Much genetic diversity within a bacterial community is likely obscured by microdiversity
within operational taxonomic units (OTUs) defined by 16S rRNA gene sequences. However …

In Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, dominant plant species (grasses and mosses) and soil
physicochemical properties have a significant influence on soil microbial communities …

If biochar is to be used for carbon (C) management, we must understand how weathering or
ageing affects biochar C mineralization. Here, we incubated aged and unaged eastern white …

Plant species and microbial interactions have significant impacts on the diversity of bacterial
communities. However, few studies have explored interactions among these factors, such …
