Transcriptome-guided discovery of novel plant-associated genes in a rhizosphere Pseudomonas - Microbiome
Background Microorganisms play important ecological roles during interactions with plants, with some strains promoting plant performance. However, the molecular basis of bacterial adaptation to the pl...

New preprint!
Soils are alive — yet we still know little about how farming reshapes them.
Here we analyzed 1,921 soil microbiomes from 33 countries to uncover how agriculture—especially pesticides and fertilizers—is transforming microbial life globally. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-8...

Soil microbial diversity and network organization respond to land use and agricultural inputs worldwide
Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we ana...

What happens to microbial genomic evolution in highly stable, closed ecosystems? In this preprint, authors look at 111 MAGs from a Romanian cave isolated from external influences for 5.5My(!) and see more pseudogenisation of core genes & limited HGT. Unsurprising?
