Scientists discover how fungi interact with soil actinomycetes Discovery of a unique microbial interaction offers potential for environmentally friendly control of rice blast disease Date: October ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela have developed a novel bacterial biofilm technology that ...

"We saw that more than 50 years of consistent soil warming increased microbial growth at the community level," says Dennis Metze, PhD student and primary author of the study.

Aims The impacts associated with litter decomposition in intensive cropping on eco-enzymatic stoichiometry and microbial nutrient limitation are still under debate. Methods To evaluate the dynamics of ...

In addition, biofilms might explain the association between the number of different species and showerhead age, say the researchers, because these communities are reservoirs for DWPIs.
