In this recent study by my colleague Nemanja Kuzmanovic @jki-research.bsky.social we revealed the extraordinary genome plasticity of Rhizobiaceae members - a family comprising both nonpathogenic and pathogenic strains: www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...
Novel insights into the genome organization of Rhizobiaceae: identification of linear plasmids
Members of the family Rhizobiaceae typically have multipartite genomes that are split between two or more replicons, including the chromosome and a variable number of extrachromosomal replicons (chrom...

Glad to join for the first time the Plant Microbiome Symposium #PMS2025. Looking forward to a week full of interesting talks and inspiring discussions. I will present a poster on Thursday about synergistic effects between resident microbes and inoculants for improved maize performance under drought.

Congratulations to our Phd student Kristin Hauschild to her first-author-paper no.3 🥳 Here we tested whether different soil amendment strategies (catch crops, microbial inoculants) can improve apple plant performance in replant disease-affected soil.

Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants differently modulate apple rhizosphere microbiomes and plant responses
Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants induce distinct alterations in the rhizosphere and soil microbiome of apple grown under replanting condition
