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).

In the present study, we provide the first record of the genus Ablerus Howard, 1898 (=Azotus Howard 1898) from the Galapagos Islands, based on material collected in a survey of Hymenoptera across the archipelago's main islands. One new species, Ablerus byroni sp.

- 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.
