Termite guts harbor diverse yet-uncultured bacteria, including a non-photosynthetic cyanobacterial group, the class "Melainabacteria". We herein reported phylogenetic diversity of "Melainabacteria" in termites and conducted single-cell genome analysis melainabacterium obtained from gut termite Termes propinquus. performed amplicon sequencing 16S rRNA genes 60 eight cockroach species, detected melainabacterial sequences 48 out 68 insect albeit with low abundances (0.02-1.90%). Most were...
Plant-associated fungi show diverse lifestyles from pathogenic to mutualistic the host; however, principles and mechanisms through which they shift require elucidation. The root fungus Colletotrichum tofieldiae (Ct) promotes Arabidopsis thaliana growth under phosphate limiting conditions. Here we describe a Ct strain, designated Ct3, that severely inhibits plant growth. Ct3 pathogenesis occurs activation of host abscisic acid pathways via fungal secondary metabolism gene cluster related...
Summary Plants accommodate diverse microbial communities (microbiomes), which can change dynamically during plant adaptation to varying environmental conditions. However, the direction of these changes and underlying mechanisms driving them, particularly in crops adapting field conditions, remain poorly understood. We investigate root-associated microbiome rice ( Oryza sativa L.) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon metagenome sequencing, across four consecutive cultivation seasons a high-yield,...

Abstract Purpose The response of rice plants to P deficiency together with rhizosphere microorganisms is yet be explored in flooded soil cultures. This study aimed identify how alterations bacterial diversity are associated underground metabolic and chemical reactions the rice. Methods Two varieties were grown a split-root box under conditions filled either P-applied or non-P-applied soils without γ-irradiation. At 41–42 days after transplanting, plant biomass, uptake, exudation rates total...
