To gain insight into the active microbiota during spontaneous fermentation of L., this study assessed protein diversity during 120 h using a combined metabarconding and metaproteomics approach. During the first days of fermentation, most of the peptides were associated with and yeast (0-72 h).

Article Synopsis
  • Microorganisms are essential for soil quality and ecosystem services, but human activities can negatively impact their functions; thus, assessing soil health through molecular methods is more effective than traditional methods.
  • This study examined microbial diversity and activity in different cocoa agroforestry systems, including green fertilization, rubber-cocoa intercropping, and Cabruca, using metagenomic and metaproteomic techniques.
  • Results showed increased microbial diversity and nitrogen cycling activity in agroforestry systems, with specific enzymes indicating higher metabolic activity, highlighting the importance of soil management practices for improving soil health and productivity.

is endemic to Brazil and grows in ferruginous outcrops () in Serra dos Carajás, eastern Amazon, where one of the largest iron ore deposits in the world is located. Plants that develop in these ecosystems are subject to severe environmental conditions and must have adaptive mechanisms to grow and thrive in . is a native species used to restore biodiversity in post-mining areas in .
