Unraveling the dynamic interplay of microbial communities associated to Lupinus angustifolius in response to environmental and cultivation conditions.

Microorganisms form dynamic communities with plants, providing benefits such as nutrient acquisition and stress resilience. Understanding how these microorganisms are affected by environmental factors such as growth conditions and soil characteristics are essential for harnessing these communities for sustainable agriculture practices and their response to climate change. The microbiome associated to Lupinus angustifolius, a legume native in Europe, with a high protein value and stress resilience was characterized for the first time.

Ready to respond: adapting rapid response team training in Papua New Guinea during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Problem: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are critical for effective responses to acute public health events. While validated training packages and guidance on rolling out training for RRTs are available, they lack country-specific adaptations. Documentation is limited on RRT programming experiences in various contexts.

Six novel species associated with the phyllosphere and roots of leguminous plants: sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov.

Six actinobacterial strains isolated from diverse legume tissues collected in various locations in Spain were characterized to determine their taxonomic status. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the strains were primarily identified as members of the genus with more than 99 % similarity. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identities between the six strains and the nearest type strains confirmed that each strain represented a novel species.

Pharmaceutical Pollution in Aquatic Environments: A Concise Review of Environmental Impacts and Bioremediation Systems.

The presence of emerging contaminants in the environment, such as pharmaceuticals, is a growing global concern. The excessive use of medication globally, together with the recalcitrance of pharmaceuticals in traditional wastewater treatment systems, has caused these compounds to present a severe environmental problem. In recent years, the increase in their availability, access and use of drugs has caused concentrations in water bodies to rise substantially.

Deciphering Genomes: Genetic Signatures of Plant-Associated .

Understanding plant-microbe interactions with the possibility to modulate the plant's microbiome is essential to design new strategies for a more productive and sustainable agriculture and to maintain natural ecosystems. Therefore, a key question is how to design bacterial consortia that will yield the desired host phenotype. This work was designed to identify the potential genomic features involved in the interaction between and known host plants.
