The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

The rhizosphere is the region around the plant roots where maximum microbial activities
occur. In the rhizosphere, microorganisms' beneficial and harmful activities affect plant …

The life history strategies of soil microbes determine their metabolic potential and their
response to environmental changes. Yet these strategies remain poorly understood. Here …

We revisit the hypothesis that there is life in the venusian clouds to propose a life cycle that
resolves the conundrum of how life can persist aloft for hundreds of millions to billions of …

The Clostridium genus harbors compelling organisms for biotechnological production
processes; while acetogenic clostridia can fix C1-compounds to produce acetate and …

Bacterial‐derived micro‐/nanomedicine has garnered considerable attention in anticancer
therapy, owing to the unique natural features of bacteria, including specific targeting ability …

Dormancy is an adaptation to living in fluctuating environments. It allows individuals to enter
a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity when challenged by unfavorable conditions …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are principal nutrient substrates of intestinal epithelial cells
that regulate the epithelial barrier in yaks. Until now, metagenomics sequencing has not …

Little is known about the bonfire impact on microbial properties in soil. This work aimed to
study moderate-to high-severity experimental burning (250° C) compared to unburned …

Among members of the Bacillales order, there are several species capable of forming a
structure called an endospore. Endospores enable bacteria to survive under unfavourable …
