Abstract Global climate change and shifting land‐use are increasing plant stress due to abiotic factors such as drought, heat, salinity cold, well via the intensification of biotic stressors herbivores pathogens. The ability plants tolerate stresses is modulated by bacteria fungi that live on or inside tissues comprise microbiome. However, impacts diverse classes beneficial members microbiome contrasting impact most commonly studied independently each other. Our meta‐analysis 288 experiments...
Highly saline conditions represent a strong challenge for most microorganisms in freshwater ecosystems. Eukaryotic green algae from the Chlorophyta clade were investigated their ability to survive and adapt increased salt concentration growth medium. Striking differences detected between responses of various species elevated concentrations. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cc124 Coelastrella sp. MACC-549 showed moderate resistance concentration, while Chlorella MACC-360 exhibited high...
Algae and bacteria have co-occurred coevolved in common habitats for hundreds of millions years, fostering specific associations interactions such as mutualism or antagonism. These are shaped through exchanges primary secondary metabolites provided by one the partners. Metabolites, N-sources vitamins, can be beneficial to partner they may assimilated chemotaxis towards producing these metabolites. Other metabolites, especially many natural products synthesized bacteria, act toxins damage...
Abstract Winged bean, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC., is similar to soybean in yield and nutritional value but more viable tropical conditions. Here, we strengthen genetic resources for this orphan crop by producing a de novo transcriptome assembly annotation of two Sri Lankan accessions (denoted herein as CPP34 [PI 491423] CPP37 639033]), developing simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between geographically separated genotypes. A...
Microalgae-based bioenergy production is a promising field with regard to the wide variety of algal species and metabolic potential. The use liquid wastes as nutrient clearly improves sustainability microalgal biofuel production. Microalgae bacteria have an ecological inter-kingdom relationship. This microenvironment called phycosphere has major role in ecosystem productivity can be utilized both bioremediation biomass However, knowledge on effects indigenous growth characteristics bacterial...
Microalgae cultivation in municipal, industrial and agricultural wastewater is an emerging, highly effective approach for resource recovery concomitant bioenergy generation. Wastewater effluents represent ideal sources of nutrients eukaryotic green algal species. However, the performance photosynthetic algae strongly dependent on associated bacterial partners present effluents. Our combined treatment biohydrogen evolution applied microalgae-based photoheterotrophic degradation using dark...
The increasing ineffectiveness of traditional antibiotics and the rise multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria have necessitated revival bacteriophage (phage) therapy. However, might also evolve resistance against phages. Phages their bacterial hosts coexist in nature, resulting a continuous coevolutionary competition for survival. We isolated several clinical strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages that infect them. Among these, PIAS (Phage Induced Antibiotic Sensitivity) phage belonging to...
Multi-omics analysis is a powerful tool for the detection and study of inter-kingdom interactions, such as those between bacterial archaeal members complex biogas-producing microbial communities. In present study, microbiomes three industrial-scale biogas digesters, each fed with different substrates, were analysed using machine-learning guided genome-centric metagenomics framework complemented metatranscriptome data. This data permitted us to elucidate relationship abundant core...
Drought hinders growth, development, and productivity of higher plants. While physiological molecular background plant responses to drought has been extensively studied, the role post-translational modifications histones or DNA methylation in response dehydration remains largely elusive. In this study, we deciphered genome-wide changes transcriptome rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). High-throughput transcript profiling (RNA-seq) chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq)...
Summary Species coexistence requires differential response to inter‐ and intraspecific competition, typically conceptualized as niche differentiation. Coexistence of close relatives therefore poses an interesting scenario with regards differentiation since these species generally have many traits in common due shared ancestry. Native Californian Trifolium assemblages are locally diverse represent a unique system for understanding competitive interactions among relatives. We conducted two...
Biogas production through co-digestion of second and third generation substrates is an environmentally sustainable approach. Green willow biomass, chicken manure waste microalgae biomass were combined in the anaerobic digestion experiments. Biochemical methane potential test showed that biogas yields co-digestions significantly higher compared to yield when energy was sole substrate. To scale up experiment continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSRTs) are employed, parameters monitored....
The application of algae-based products has been reported to promote plant growth and yield tomato plants, especially by enhancing flowering. However, how microalgae (MA) affect plants at the molecular level remains elusive. aim this study was elucidate effects live on photosynthesis transcriptome unopened flower buds plants. Microalgae increased leaf temperature differential in leaves but hardly affected photosynthesis. Contrary our expectations, RNA-seq data revealed remarkable expression...
On-site wastewater treatment systems are gaining popularity in areas where centralized is not available. In the current case study a domestic activated sludge system was investigated, treated effluent stored short-term (1 week turn-over time) and long-term (over 2–3 months) storage tank then used for irrigation. This design provided unique opportunity to assess chemical microbial changes of upon storage. Long-term greatly improved both quality degradation efficiency most organic...
Biophotovoltaic (BPV) devices are a potential decentralized and environmentally friendly energy source that harness solar through photosynthesis. BPV self-regenerating, promising long-term usability. A practical strategy for enhancing performance is to systematically screen highly exoelectrogenic algal strains capable of generating large electric current density. In this study, previously uncharacterized green strain - Parachlorella kessleri MACC-38 was found generate over 340 µA mg
Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient and nitrate one of the main forms this available for plants microbes. Nitrate not only substrate assimilation pathway, but also a crucial signal regulation numerous metabolic, developmental, cellular differentiation processes. In present study, two species Chlamydomonas genus, reinhardtii cc124 sp. MACC-216 were used to investigate versatility metabolism in green microalgae. Quantification removal efficiency showed that strongly outperforms C. cc124....
The nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of a unicellular green algal species the Coelastrella genus was sequenced, assembled annotated. strain previously classified as Chlamydomonas sp. MACC-549 based on morphology partial 18S rDNA analysis. However, proposed multi-loci phylogenomic approach described in this paper placed within genus, therefore it re-named to vacuolata MACC-549. selected for de novo sequencing its potential value biohydrogen production revealed earlier studies....
