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.

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.

sp. nov., isolated from the cockroach .

A Gram-stain-positive bacterial strain, designated G127AT, was isolated as soft small white colonies from the hindgut of the cockroach . Examination of the complete 16S rRNA sequence mapped the strain to the genus . The type strain with the highest pairwise similarity was H23-8 (97.

Micromonospora metallophores: A plant growth promotion trait useful for bacterial-assisted phytoremediation?

Heavy metal pollution in the environment is an increasing problem due to natural and anthropogenic activities. The use of bacteria for bioremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals has gained a lot of attention as it can be considered effective, economic and environmentally sustainable. In this work, we investigated the capacity of endophytic Micromonospora strains isolated from different legumes, to produce metallophores against a variety of heavy metals in vitro.
