SALINITY-Induced Changes in Diversity, Stability, and Functional Profiles of Microbial Communities in Different Saline Lakes in Arid Areas.

Saline lakes, characterized by high salinity and limited nutrient availability, provide an ideal environment for studying extreme halophiles and their biogeochemical processes. The present study examined prokaryotic microbial communities and their ecological functions in lentic sediments (with the salinity gradient and time series) using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and a metagenomic approach. Our findings revealed a negative correlation between microbial diversity and salinity.

Insight into endophytic microbial diversity in two halophytes and plant beneficial attributes of .

This study utilized high-throughput sequencing to investigate endophytic bacteria diversity in halophytic plants (AT) and (AE) from the Aral Sea region. Following sequence processing, 356 Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) were discovered. The abundance and variety of endophytic bacteria were higher in AT.

Plant beneficial traits of endophytic bacteria associated with fennel ( Mill.).

In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis to describe the diversity of cultivable endophytic bacteria associated with fennel ( Mill.) and determined their plant-beneficial traits. The bacterial isolates from the roots of fennel belonged to four phyla: (BRN1 and BRN3), (BRN5, BRN6, and BRN7), (BRN2), and (BRN4).

Microbial Risks Caused by Livestock Excrement: Current Research Status and Prospects.

Livestock excrement is a major pollutant yielded from husbandry and it has been constantly imported into various related environments. Livestock excrement comprises a variety of microorganisms including certain units with health risks and these microorganisms are transferred synchronically during the management and utilization processes of livestock excrement. The livestock excrement microbiome is extensively affecting the microbiome of humans and the relevant environments and it could be altered by related environmental factors as well.

The diversity of bacterial endophytes from L and their plant beneficial traits.

This study reports the diversity of cultivable endophytic bacteria associated with yellow iris ( L.) by using 16S rRNA gene analysis and their plant beneficial traits. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities of endophytic bacteria isolated from the leaves and roots of yellow iris showed that the isolates belonged to the genera and .

The Integrated Effect of Microbial Inoculants and Biochar Types on Soil Biological Properties, and Plant Growth of Lettuce ( L.).

Numerous reports confirm the positive effect of biochar application on soil properties and plant development. However, the interaction between root-associated beneficial microbes and different types of biochar is not well understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the plant growth of lettuce after the application of three types of biochar in loamy, sandy soil individually and in combination with plant-beneficial microbes.

Diversity and Plant Growth-Promoting Ability of Endophytic, Halotolerant Bacteria Associated with (Pall.) Kuntze.

The diversity of salt-tolerant cultivable endophytic bacteria associated with the halophyte New Zealand spinach ( (Pall.) Kuntze) was studied, and their plant beneficial properties were evaluated. The bacteria isolated from leaves and roots belonged to , , , , , , , , , and .

Diversity and biological activity of culturable endophytic bacteria associated with marigold ( L.).

Endophytes colonizing plant tissue play an essential role in plant growth, development, stress tolerance and plant protection from soil-borne diseases. In this study, we report the diversity of cultivable endophytic bacteria associated with marigold ( L.) by using 16S rRNA gene analysis and their plant beneficial properties.

The Effect of Biochars and Endophytic Bacteria on Growth and Root Rot Disease Incidence of Infested Narrow-Leafed Lupin ( L.).

The effects of biochar on plant growth vary depending on the applied biochar type, study site environmental conditions, microbial species, and plant-microbial interactions. The objectives of the present study were therefore to assess 1) the response of growth parameters of lupin and root disease incidence to the application of three biochar types in a loamy sandy soil, and 2) the role of endophytic bacteria in biological control of root rot disease incidence in lupin after the amendment of soil with different biochar types. As biochar types we tested (i) hydrochar (HTC) from maize silage, (ii) pyrolysis char from maize (MBC), and (iii) pyrolysis char from wood (WBC) at three different concentrations (1%, 2%, and 3% of char as soil amendments).

A glimpse of the prokaryotic diversity of the Large Aral Sea reveals novel extremophilic bacterial and archaeal groups.

During the last five decades, the Aral Sea has gradually changed from a saline water body to a hypersaline lake. Microbial community inhabiting the Aral Sea has been through a succession and continuous adaptation during the last 50 years of increasing salinization, but so far, the microbial diversity has not been explored. Prokaryotic diversity of the Large Aral Sea using cultivation-independent methods based on determination of environmental 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a microbial community related to typical marine or (hyper) saline-adapted Bacteria and Archaea.

Endophytic Bacteria Improve Plant Growth, Symbiotic Performance of Chickpea ( L.) and Induce Suppression of Root Rot Caused by under Salt Stress.

Salinity causes disturbance in symbiotic performance of plants, and increases susceptibility of plants to soil-borne pathogens. Endophytic bacteria are an essential determinant of cross-tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. The aim of this study was to isolate non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria from the root nodules of chickpea ( L.
