Protecting plants from the inside out Some soils show a remarkable ability to suppress disease caused by plant pathogens, an that is attributed plant-associated microbiota. Carrión et al. investigated role of endophytes, intimate microbial community found within roots, in fungal suppression (see Perspective Tringe). The wilt fungus Rhizoctonia solani infects sugar beets, whereupon transcriptional analysis shows several bacterial endophyte species activate biosynthetic gene clusters cause...
Modern crop varieties are typically cultivated in agriculturally well-managed soils far from the centers of origin their wild relatives. How this habitat expansion impacted plant microbiome assembly is not well understood. Here, we investigated if transition a native to an agricultural soil affected rhizobacterial community and modern common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) led depletion diversity. The impact genotype on was more prominent than soil. Although only 113 operational taxonomic units...
ABSTRACT Plants modulate the soil microbiota by root exudation assembling a complex rhizosphere microbiome with organisms spanning different trophic levels. Here, we assessed diversity of bacterial, fungal and cercozoan communities in landraces modern varieties wheat. The dominant taxa within each group were bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria Acidobacteria; fungi Ascomycota, Chytridiomycota Basidiomycota; Cercozoa classes Sarcomonadea, Thecofilosea Imbricatea. We showed that...
Summary Interactions between plants and soil microbes are important for plant growth resistance. Through plant–soil‐feedbacks, of a is influenced by the previous that was growing in same soil. We performed plant–soil feedback study with 37 grass, forb legume species, to condition then tested effects plant‐induced changes microbiomes on commercially cut‐flower Chrysanthemum presence absence pathogen. analysed fungal bacterial communities these soils using next‐generation sequencing examined...
The huge biological diversity of the Brazilian Cerrado is an important source economically interesting microbial agents. phylum Actinobacteria plays role in nutrient cycling, potentially improving their availability to plants. In this study, we isolated actinobacteria (strain 3AS4) from wheat rhizospheres crops cultivated biome. Strain 3AS4 was identified as belonging genus Streptomyces and had phosphorus mobilization ability, mineralizing approximately 410 μg ml –1 phytate, 300 calcium...
Clostridioides difficile may have a negative impact on gut microbiota composition in terms of diversity and abundance, thereby triggering functional changes supported by the differential presence genes involved significant metabolic pathways, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). This work has evaluated shotgun metagenomics data regarding 48 samples from four groups classified according to diarrhea acquisition site (community- healthcare facility-onset) positive or infection (CDI) result....
Abstract Avocado cultivation holds significant economic importance in many countries, ranking Colombia as the fifth largest global producer. Particularly, Hass cultivar plays a pivotal role Colombia’s avocado industry, especially Department of Antioquia, primary export region. This is grown under diverse soil and climate conditions exhibits considerable genetic polymorphism due to hybridization varieties agronomic significance, leading array landrace rootstocks. However, rootstock genotype...
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) creates an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota due to interaction of components making up this ecosystem, but little is known about impact disease on other microbial members. This work has thus been aimed at evaluating taxonomic composition, potential gene-associated functions, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance profiles gut microbiomes. A total 48 DNA samples obtained from patients with health care facility-acquired (HCFO)...
Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most lethal pathogenic plant bacteria worldwide, infecting more than 200 hosts from up to 50 botanical families. Recent studies suggest that some R. strains have a core genome during pathogenesis. However, this has not been studied infection in different hosts. Additionally, its functions and genomic locations either. Here, we performed an RNA-Seq analysis public datasets UW163, IBSBF1503, UY031 (tomato, potato, banana, melon). Remarkably, found these had...
Abstract Colombia is the fifth world producer of avocado, with Hass cultivar as most important in country and especially Department Antioquia, which main exporter. For Department, presents high genetic polymorphism associated different landrace rootstocks and, it unknown what impact these genotypes may have on bacterial communities rhizosphere. Taking into account importance health productivity crop, we analyzed effect two Persea americana cv. structure rhizosphere, farms. Significant...
