The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

The global bio-diversity of fungi has been extensively investigated and their species number
has been estimated. Notably, the development of molecular phylogeny has revealed an …

Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple
facets of host performance, but if and how host development impacts the assembly, functions …

Despite having key functions in terrestrial ecosystems, information on the dominant soil fungi
and their ecological preferences at the global scale is lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, we …

Traditional fertilization management can damage soil structure and lead to severe soil
erosion. The practice of crop straw returning to the field reduces the negative impact of straw …

The role of rhizosphere microbiota in the resistance of tomato plant against soil-borne
Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) remains unclear. Here, we showed that the FWD incidence …

Amplicon‐sequence data from environmental DNA (eDNA) and microbiome studies provide
important information for ecology, conservation, management, and health. At present …

Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by
deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes. Here we …

In the ocean, organic particles harbour diverse bacterial communities, which collectively
digest and recycle essential nutrients. Traits like motility and exo-enzyme production allow …

Wine grapes present a unique biogeography model, wherein microbial biodiversity patterns
across viticultural zones not only answer questions of dispersal and community …
