Manipulating the rhizosphere microbial community through beneficial microorganism inoculation has gained interest in improving crop productivity and stress resistance. Synthetic communities, known as SynComs, mimic natural compositions while reducing number of components. However, achieving this goal requires a comprehensive understanding communities carefully selecting compatible microorganisms with colonization traits, which still pose challenges. In study, we employed multi-genome...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) drive important ecological relationships in microbial communities pathogen-host interaction. In this study, we investigated the resistome-associated mobilome 345 publicly available

The extensive genetic diversity of Ralstonia solanacearum , a serious soil-borne phytopathogen, has led to the concept that R. encompasses species complex [ (RSSC)]. Insertion sequences (ISs) are suggested play an important role in genome evolution this pathogen. Here, we identified and analysed transposable elements (TEs), ISs transposons, 106 RSSC genomes 15 spp. We mapped 10 259 IS complete 62 representative strains closely related A unique set 20 families was widespread across strains, 5...

Genetic variability in phytopathogens is one of the main problems encountered for effective plant disease control. This fact may be related to presence transposable elements (TEs), but little known about their role host genomes. Here, we performed most comprehensive analysis insertion sequences (ISs) and transposons (Tns) genomes important bacterial pathogens. A total 35 692 ISs 71 were identified 270 complete The level pathogen–host specialization was found a significant determinant element...

Abstract Background ICEs are mobile genetic elements found integrated into bacterial chromosomes that can excise and be transferred to a new cell. They play an important role in horizontal gene transmission carry accessory genes may provide interesting phenotypes for the bacteria. Here, we seek research presence of 300 genomes phytopathogenic bacteria with greatest scientific economic impact. Results Seventy-eight (45 distinct elements) were identified characterized Agrobacterium tumefaciens...

It is claimed that one g of soil holds ten billion bacteria representing thousands distinct species. These play key roles in the regulation terrestrial carbon dynamics, nutrient cycles, and plant productivity. Despite overwhelming diversity bacteria, most bacterial species remain largely unknown. Here, we used an oligotrophic medium to isolate novel for positive interaction with soybean. Strictly 22 from soybean rhizosphere were selected. isolates encompass genera (Kosakonia, Microbacterium,...

Ralstonia solanacearum, a soil-borne plant pathogen, encompasses large number of strains known as R. solanacearum species complex (RSSC). Although it has been suggested that mobile genetic elements (MGEs) may play an important role in the RSSC genome, evolutionary impact these remains unknown. Here, we identified and analysed Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICEs) Genomic Islands (GIs) 121 genomes published for spp., including three other non-plant pathogenic spp. Our results provided...

Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the etiological agent of anthracnose disease in common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), noted for its ability to cause serious damage and significant pathogenic variability. This study reveals features high-quality genome C. . Analysis showed improvements over first assembly, with refined having 119 scaffolds, ten times fewer than first, a 19% increase gene number. The effector candidates increased by nearly 1.5 times. More 40% amino acid sequences homologs...

ABSTRACT The intensive use of glyphosate has shown to be harmful non-target organisms. Considering the soil as a final herbicide acceptor, microbial community present on it is one critical factors monitored. This study aimed isolate Bacillus sp., well evaluate effect functional traits related growth and biocontrol activity phytopathogen. sp. FC1 was isolated from grown in six media, presence absence glyphosate. analysis bacterial consisted comparing curves. evaluated by antibiosis against...

Abstract Metagenomics has made it feasible to elucidate the intricacies of ruminal microbiome and its role in differentiation animal production phenotypes significance. The search for mobile genetic elements (MGEs) taken on great importance, as they play a critical transfer material between organisms. Furthermore, these serve dual purpose by controlling populations through lytic bacteriophages, thereby maintaining ecological equilibrium driving evolutionary progress host microorganisms. In...

<title>Abstract</title> Slow-growing bacteria play a crucial role in soil ecosystems, yet our understanding of their persistence complex environments remains limited. Do these organisms lack essential metabolic genes, or do they possess specific genes that enable survival under challenging conditions? Our study begins to fill this knowledge gap by analyzing the genomes four slow-growing isolated from tropical savanna soil, providing insights into capacities and adaptation mechanisms....

Abstract The prevalence and abundance of Acidobacteriota raise concerns about their ecological function metabolic activity in the environment. Studies have reported potential some members to interact with plants play a significant role biogeochemical cycles. However, this context has not been extensively studied. Here, we performed comprehensive genomic analysis 758 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) 121 RefSeq Acidobacteriota. Our revealed high frequency plant growth-promoting traits...

ABSTRACT The Núcleo de Estudos em Microbiologia Agrícola (NEMA) is an academic-scientific group created by graduate students in the Post Graduate Agricultural Microbiology Department of at Universidade Federal Viçosa, Brazil. NEMA's purposes include promoting and sharing research knowledge on microbiology different fields application. Here, we will comment our experience organizing Summer School teaching to undergraduate during program. NEMA offers this annual event disseminate stimulate...

A natureza exploratória da ciência fornece um contexto único para grupos acadêmicos preocupados com a responsabilidade social. O Núcleo de Estudos em Microbiologia Agrícola (NEMA) é uma organização brasileira estudantes microbiologia Universidade Federal Viçosa (UFV). Neste artigo, examinaremos trajetória seis anos do NEMA e como ele contribuiu popularização microbiologia, bem formação profissional dos alunos pós-graduação.
