Abstract Soils are facing new environmental stressors, such as titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 -NPs). While these emerging pollutants increasingly released into most ecosystems, including agricultural fields, their potential impacts on soil and its function remain to be investigated. Here we report the response of microbial community an exposed over 90 days TiO -NPs (1 500 mg kg −1 dry soil). To assess impact function, focused nitrogen cycle measured nitrification denitrification...
Plant strategies for soil nutrient uptake have the potential to strongly influence plant-microbiota interactions, due competition between plants and microorganisms acquisition and/or conservation. In present study, we investigate whether these plant could rhizosphere microbial activities via root exudation, contribute microbiota diversification of active bacterial communities colonizing root-adhering inhabiting tissues. We applied a DNA-based stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) approach six...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a ubiquitous Gram-negative γ-proteobacterium, has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections. A major characteristic of clinical isolates is their high intrinsic or acquired antibiotic resistance level. The aim this study was to decipher the genetic determinism among strains from different origins (i.e., natural environment and origin) showing various profiles. To purpose, we selected three isolated soil collected in...
Complex plant-microbe interactions have been established throughout evolutionary time, many of them with beneficial effects on the host in terms plant growth, nutrition, or health. Some corresponding modes action involve a modulation hormonal balance, such as deamination ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC). Despite its ecological importance, our understanding ACC is impaired by lack direct molecular tools. Here, we developed PCR primers to quantify deaminase gene acdS...
Summary Plant rhizosphere soil houses complex microbial communities in which microorganisms are often involved intraspecies as well interspecies and inter‐kingdom signalling networks. Some members of these networks can improve plant health thanks to an important diversity bioactive secondary metabolites. In this competitive environment, the ability form biofilms may provide major advantages microorganisms. With aim highlighting impact bacterial lifestyle on metabolites production, we...
Mosquito larvae are naturally exposed to microbial communities present in a variety of larval development sites. Several earlier studies have highlighted that the habitat influences composition bacterial microbiota. However, little information is available on their fungal microbiota, i.e. mycobiota. In this study, we provide first simultaneous characterization and microbiota field-collected Aedes aegypti respective aquatic habitats. We evaluated whether associated with breeding site may...
The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes (Stegomya) albopictus is an invasive species that has spread across the world in last two decades, showing a great capacity to adapt contrasting climates and environments. While demonstrated many insects, contribution of bacterial symbionts ecology challenging aspect needs be investigated. Also some have already been identified Ae. using classical methods, but more accurate survey mosquito-associated diversity needed decipher potential biological functions...
Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance plant health and growth using a variety of traits. Effective PGPR strains typically exhibit multiple plant-beneficial properties, but whether they are better adapted to the rhizosphere than with fewer properties is unknown. Here, we tested hypothesis that higher numbers would be preferentially selected by roots. To this end, co-occurrence 18 involved in enhanced nutrition, hormone modulation, or pathogen inhibition was analyzed molecular...
Abstract Limestone areas across the world develop karstic caves, which are populated by a wide range of macro‐ and microorganisms. Many these caves display Paleolithic art or outstanding speleothems, in last century they have been subjected to anthropization due touristic management intense human frequentation. Despite their cultural importance associated conservation issues, impact on cave biodiversity is not known. Here, we show that with specific biota modifications. We compared diversity...
Strain ARgP5T, an actinobacterium isolated from a root nodule present on Alnus incana subspecies rugosa shrub growing in Quebec City, Canada, was the subject of polyphasic taxonomic studies to clarify its status within genus Frankia . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities and ANI values between ARgP5T type strains species with validly published names were 98.8 82 % or less, respectively. The silico DNA G+C content 72.4 mol%. is characterised by presence meso-A2pm, galactose, glucose, mannose,...
The World-famous UNESCO heritage from the Paleolithic human society, Lascaux Cave (France), has endeavored intense microclimatic perturbations, in part due to high touristic pressure. These perturbations have resulted numerous disturbances of cave ecosystem, including on its microbial compartment, which formation black stains especially rock faces passage. We investigated microbiome this by sampling three mineral substrates (soil, banks, and inclined planes) outside assess current assemblage...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is considered as a major source of innovation in bacteria, and such expected to drive adaptation new ecological niches. However, among the many genes acquired through HGT along diversification history genomes, only fraction may have actively contributed sustained adaptation. We used phylogenetic approach accounting for (or groups genes) estimate genomes Agrobacterium biovar 1, diverse group soil plant-dwelling bacterial species. identified clade-specific blocks...
Plant biomass degradation in soil is one of the key steps carbon cycling terrestrial ecosystems. Fungal saprotrophic communities play an essential role this process by producing hydrolytic enzymes active on main components plant organic matter. Open questions field regard diversity species involved, major biochemical pathways implicated and how these are affected external factors such as litter quality or climate changes. This can be tackled environmental genomic approaches involving...
