The discovery of secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms (eg, penicillin in 1928)
and the beginning of their industrial application (1940) opened new doors to what has been …

Here we show how agricultural practices by indigenous peoples as well as forest recovery
relate to the structure and composition of Amazon soil bacterial communities. Soil samples …

Bacterial communities are a major component of global diversity and are intimately involved
in most terrestrial biogeochemical processes. Despite their importance, we know far less …

Microbial populations are primarily responsible for the decomposition of organic residues,
the nutrients cycle, and the flow of energy inside of soil. The present study was undertaken …

Microbes are key components of the soil environment and are important contributors to the
sustainability of agricultural systems, which is especially significant for biofuel crops growing …

New ß-glucosidases with product (glucose) or ethanol tolerances are greatly desired to
make industrial processes more marketable and efficient. Therefore, this report describes …

Aims Culturing compost‐derived microbial communities on biofuel feedstocks under
industrial conditions is a technique to enrich for organisms and lignocellulolytic enzymes for …

Background The identification of bacterial species in the soil can be used for the
differentiation of soil samples and physical evidence. This study aims to evaluate the …

Plant and rhizobacterial interactions contribute partly to a plant's medicinal properties and
are well studied through metagenomics. In this study, 16S rDNA, 18S rDNA, and ITS meta …

The term “soil forensics” was first coined about 40 years ago, and it may be defined as the in
situ study of soil as part of criminal investigations. It includes the study of soil as a material …
