Synthesis and conceptualization of the response of aerobic methanotrophs to sporadic (one-off), recurring, and compounded disturbances, and their role as a methane sink in soils under agriculture management.

Plant holobiont research catalyzes new approaches for human and environmental health on a rapidly changing world.

A proposed metagenomic diversity index provides simple and easily intrepretable information to link microbial functional potential and ecosystem processes.

Impact of Phytophthora cryptogea on the rhizosphere and root endosphere microbiome of hydroponically cultivated lettuce.

Methane-oxidizing bacteria in coastal waters can mitigate diffusive methane emissions. Their metabolic versatility and resilience are potentially high. Yet, methane removal is insufficient and highly variable throughout the year.

Striped plateau lizard females vertically transmit microbes from their reproductive microbiome—specifically oviductal and cloacal microbes—to their offspring, via eggshell and egg contents.

Current findings elucidate the microbiome and associated functional potentials of a vulnerable glacier, emphasizing their significant ecological roles in a changing glacial ecosystem.

Transition from thermokarst lake to lagoon changed microbial assemblages more substantially than permafrost thaw and lake formation history.

A novel method using labeled prey tracers in a temperate estuary showed that actively grazing mixotrophic plankton are more abundant in spring and autumn and their presence may depend on environmental conditions favorable to different mixotrophs utilization of phagotrophy.

Comparing microbial community and network responses with strong environmental gradients among coexisting macroorganisms in the intertidal rocky shore.

This study demonstrated that among two major inlets a glacier-fed stream was more important than a non-glacier-fed stream for seeding the bacterial community of the lake.

Meta-analysis reveals interrelationships between fish species, water physicochemistry, rearing conditions and microbiota in the skin of salt and freshwater fish. Created with BioRender.com.

Parallel analysis of blueberry crops and a wild relative offers insight into the impacts of management and domestication on the nectar microbiome.

Humic substances modified bacterial composition within Chondrilla sp. sponges and enriched bacteria potentially involved in recalcitrant organic matter degradation while temperature and exposure to UVB had only minor and negligible effects, respectively.

The fungal communities found on individual leaves were analyzed to determine the importance of environmental and stochastic factors in community assembly.

Structured and rapid microbiome response to watering in a Namib Desert soil using metatranscriptomics.

Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus used for seed inoculation of winter wheat and spring barely was able to colonize crop roots and affect yield parameters in a field experiment.
