While ballast water has long been linked to the global transport of invasive species, little is known about its microbiome. Herein, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabarcoding perform most comprehensive microbiological survey arriving hub ports date. In total, characterized 41 ballast, 20 harbor, 6 open ocean samples from four world (Shanghai, China; Singapore; Durban, South Africa; Los Angeles, California). addition, cultured Enterococcus E. coli evaluate adherence International...
Abstract Feeding strategy and diet are increasingly recognized for their roles in governing primate gut microbiome (GMB) composition. Whereas feeding reflects evolutionary adaptations to a host's environment, is more proximate measure of food intake. Host phylogeny, which intertwined with strategy, an additional, often confounding factor that shapes GMBs across host lineages. Nocturnal strepsirrhines intriguing underutilized group examine the links between these three factors GMB Here, we...
More sustainable approaches to agriculture are urgently needed protect existing resources and optimize crop yields provide food for a growing global human population. agricultural practices that utilize plant–microbe relationships across cultivation needed. The main objectives of this study were track the prokaryotic fungal microbiomes associated with key growth stages developing maize evaluate among nitrogen cycling bacteria major genera including those known contain arbuscular mycorrhizal...
