Future precision microbiome modulation using probiotics should consider the potential interactions of the probiotic strains, and individualized responses due to heterogenous gut microbial compositions.

Bacteria outnumber fungi in northern California flowers and are more easily dispersed by thrips, common flower-visiting insects.

Wheat leaf-associated microbes are more frequently resistant to water stress.

The effect of an invading antibiotic-resistant isolate on the resistome of the autochthonous community is highly dependent on the particular strain.

JB rumen microbiome had relatively higher abundance of fibrolytic bacteria such as F. succinogenes and Ruminococcus spp., increasing the carbohydrate-active enzymes associated with cellulose and hemicellulose degradation.

High-severity burns result in a novel soil microbiome regardless of whether applied to grass-dominated or woody-plant invaded patches in a fire-protected, encroached prairie watershed.

Microbial communities from Pitch Lake oil show a sudden threshold-regulated response to salinity, leading to less diverse and uneven communities

Distribution and network properties of multi-kingdom communities (prokaryotes, fungi, protists and nematodes) along a deep soil profile in a pastoral ecosystem.

Across a European transect, comprising five countries, we did show that small-scale agricultural grassland management can affect soil fungal community structure as much as continental scale geographic patterns.

This study aimed to characterize bacterial communities present in the tomato rhizosphere of plants grown in rockwool, under hydroponic conditions, and either affected or not by hairy root disease.

Soil bacterial and fungal communities at thirty sites were yearly assessed over five consecutive years and revealed temporally stable as well as land-use- and site-specific core communities.

A 1-year observation of coastal microbial communities revealed similar but different community dynamics for eukaryotes, their viruses and prokaryotes.

Assembly of the lentil seed microbiome under different soil types and across multiple generations.

A combination of transmission studies where healthy and diseased sponges were separated by filters of varying pore size followed by sequencing of partial 16S rRNA genes suggested that ARBS is a prokaryotic yet polymicrobial disease.

Metacommunities of skin bacteria that may protect salamanders from fungal skin diseases are structured by host identity and habitat characteristics.

Wheat yields and grain quality was predicted with high accuracy from microbial data collected early in the growing season.

In-depth analysis of microbial networks from the three domains of life reveals how reassociations between microorganisms support the functioning of an hypersaline and hyperalkaline crater lake.

Transformation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was shown in stormwater sediment and bioretention media with presence of active aerobic and anaerobic PCB-degrading bacteria

This study investigates chemical and microbially catalyzed Fe(II) oxidation across a range of temperatures to develop a quantitative description of enzymatic Fe(II) oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction within the environment.
