The mosquito Aedes spp. holds important relevance for human and animal health, as it serves as a vector for transmitting multiple diseases, including dengue and Zika virus. The microbiome's impact on its host's health and fitness is well known.

This study examines the microbiome composition of a commercial biofertilizer known for its plant growth-promoting activity. Using ITS and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, we describe the microbial communities of a biofertilizer, with 163 fungal species and 485 bacterial genera found.

We studied squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) root microbiome under historically arid and humid sites, both in situ and performing a common garden experiment.

- - The study investigates how soil influences the root microbiomes of two plant types: ruderal plants and tomatoes, finding that while tomatoes show a decrease in microbial diversity at their roots, ruderal plants maintain higher diversity.
- - Researchers analyzed extensive soil and plant samples, discovering 271,940 bacterial OTUs and concluding that ruderal plants create favorable conditions for diverse microbial communities, unlike tomatoes which align closely with their specific genotypes.
- - The research indicates that the dominant bacteria differ among environments, with Actinobacteria prevalent in soil, Proteobacteria in ruderal plants, and Bacteroidetes in tomatoes, and proposes that a core group of 51 bacterial genera in tomatoes could be used for future microbiome-based plant
The structure of the mitochondrial genome for the Pacific red snapper, Lutjanus peru, and the spotted rose snapper, Lutjanus gutattus, of specimens collected in the eastern Pacific is similar to the reported for other teleosts and shares the same configuration with other members of the family Lutjanidae. It has a total length of 16 502 and 16 508 base pairs (bp) for Lutjanus peru and L. gutattus, respectively; on average the base composition was A (27.
