A variety of soil factors are known to increase nutrient availability and plant productivity. The
most influential might be the organisms comprising the soil microbial community of the …

Plants are in constant contact with a community of soil biota that contains fungi ranging from
pathogenic to symbiotic. A few studies have demonstrated a critical role of chemical …

In this study we used stool profiling to identify intestinal bacteria and metabolites that are
differentially represented in humans with colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to healthy controls …

Plant roots constantly secrete compounds into the soil to interact with neighboring organisms
presumably to gain certain functional advantages at different stages of development. …

Background The need to enhance the sustainability of intensive agricultural systems is widely
recognized One promising approach is to encourage beneficial services provided by soil …

Our objective is to provide an optimistic strategy for reversing soil degradation by increasing
public and private research efforts to understand the role of soil biology, particularly …

Molecular-based approaches to assess microbial biomass and diversity from soil and other
ecosystems are rapidly becoming the standard methodology for analysis. While these …

In this study, we examined the bacterial endophyte community of potato (Solanum tuberosum)
cultivar/clones using two different molecular-based techniques (bacterial automated …

The composition and function of microbial communities in the rhizosphere of crops have
been linked to edaphic factors and root exudate composition. We examined the effect of N …

Root exudates influence the surrounding soil microbial community, and recent evidence
demonstrates the involvement of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in root secretion of …
