Environmental filtering drives the establishment of the distinctive rhizosphere, bulk, and root nodule bacterial communities of in hilly and gully regions of the Loess Plateau of China.

In addition to the rhizobia, other non-rhizobial endophytes (NREs) have been simultaneously isolated from the root nodules. The existence of NREs in leguminous root nodules is a universal phenomenon, and they have the potential to enhance legume survival, especially under conditions of environmental stress. However, the diversity and biogeographic patterns of microbial communities inhabiting root nodules are not well studied or understood.

Comparative analysis of the efficacies of probiotic supplementation and glucose-lowering drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of probiotics and glucose-lowering drugs (thiazolidinedione [TZD], glucagon-like pep-tide-1 receptor agonists [GLP-1 RA], dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors [SGLT-2i]) in patients with type 2 diabetes from randomized con-trolled trials (RCTs). The PubMed, Web of science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched on the treatment effects of probiotics and glucose-lowering drugs on glycemia, lipids, and blood pressure metabolism published between Jan 2015 and April 2021. We performed meta-analyses using the random-effects model.

Petroleum Depletion Property and Microbial Community Shift After Bioremediation Using T-04 and 1-1.

Bioremediation of crude oil contaminated environments is an economical, low-maintenance, environmentally friendly technology and has attracted increasing attention in recent years. In the present study, two efficient crude oil degrading bacteria strains were isolated from soils contaminated with crude oil. Phylogenetic analysis suggested they belonged to genus , and were designated as T-04 and 1-1.

One Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria sp. A-8 and Its Potential Use in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery and Bioremediation.

Biosurfactant plays an important role in bioremediation of crude oil contamination and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In the present study, a salt-tolerant, biosurfactant-producing bacterium, designated A-8, was isolated from wastewater contaminated with petroleum collected from the Changqing reservoir in China. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequence suggests that strain A-8 belongs to the genus .

Insights into non-symbiotic plant growth promotion bacteria associated with nodules of Sphaerophysa salsula growing in northwestern China.

In addition to rhizobia, other non-symbiotic endophytic bacteria also have been simultaneously isolated from the same root nodules. The existence of non-symbiotic endophytic bacteria in leguminous root nodules is a universal phenomenon. The vast majority of studies have detected endophytic bacteria in other plant tissues.

The Root Endophytic Fungi Community Structure of from Four Representative Provinces in China.

is a good forage grass with high biomass production and crude proteins. However, little is known about the endophytic fungi diversity of , which might play an important role in the plant's growth and biomass production. Here, we used high throughput sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences based on primers ITS5-1737 and ITS2-2043R to investigate the endophytic fungi diversity of roots at the maturity stage, as collected from four provinces (Shaanxi province, SX; Fujian province, FJ; the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous prefecture, XJ and Inner Mongolia, including sand (NS) and saline-alkali land (NY), China).

Root-Associated Endophytic Bacterial Community Composition of from Four Representative Provinces in China.

, a source of bio-energy with high biomass production, is a species that contains high crude protein and will be useful for solving the shortage of forage grass after the implementation of "Green for Grain" project in the Loess plateau of Northern Shaanxi in 1999.
