Assessment of the impact of three pesticides on microbial dynamics and functions in a lab-to-field experimental approach
(2018)The toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms is as an emerging area of concern. Novel and well-standardized tools could be now used to provide a robust assessment of the ecotoxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms. ... -
Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(2018)Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ... -
Factors Structuring the Epiphytic Archaeal and Fungal Communities in a Semi-arid Mediterranean Ecosystem
(2021)The phyllosphere microbiome exerts a strong effect on plants’ productivity, and its composition is determined by various factors. To date, most phyllosphere studies have focused on bacteria, while fungi and especially ... -
Microbial adaptation to high ammonia concentrations during anaerobic digestion of manure-based feedstock: biomethanation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(2020)BACKGROUND: Microbial consortia resistant to high ammonia concentrations may facilitate biogas production from high ammonia-containing wastes and manures during anaerobic digestion. Microbial communities were gradually ... -
NAT/NCS2-hound: a webserver for the detection and evolutionary classification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic nucleobase-cation symporters of the NAT/NCS2 family
(2018)Nucleobase transporters are important for supplying the cell with purines and/or pyrimidines, for controlling the intracellular pool of nucleotides, and for obtaining exogenous nitrogen/carbon sources for metabolism. ... -
Pesticide effects on nitrogen cycle related microbial functions and community composition
(2022)The extensive application of pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about their potential negative impact on soil microorganisms, being the key drivers of nutrient cycling. Most studies have investigated the effect of ... -
Unraveling the mechanisms of extreme radioresistance in prokaryotes: Lessons from nature
(2016)The last 50 years, a variety of archaea and bacteria able to withstand extremely high doses of ionizing radiation, have been discovered. Several lines of evidence suggest a variety of mechanisms explaining the extreme ...
