Genetic diversity is crucial to secure the survival and sustainability of ecosystems. Given anthropogenic pressure, as well as the projected alterations connected with the level and circulation of water, riparian forests are of particular concern. In this paper, we assessed the genetic variation of black poplar - one of the keystone tree species of riverine forests.

Crop plant microbiomes are increasingly seen as important in plant nutrition and health, and a key to maintaining food productivity. Currently, little is known of the temporal changes that occur in the wheat rhizosphere microbiome as the plant develops, and how this varies among different sites. We used a pot-based mesocosm experiment with the same modern wheat cultivar grown in eight soils from across the North China Plain, a major wheat producing area.

Temperate streams are subsidized by inputs of leaf litter peaking in fall. Yet, stream communities decompose dead leaves and integrate their energy into the aquatic food web throughout the whole year. Most studies investigating stream decomposition largely overlook long-term trajectories, which must be understood for an appropriate temporal upscaling of ecosystem processes.

Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, USCR Molecular Bacteriology and Genomics, University of Carthage, National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, Tunis, 2080, Tunisia.

Background: The stone-dwelling genus Blastococcus plays a key role in ecosystems facing extreme conditions such as drought, salinity, alkalinity, and heavy metal contamination. Despite its ecological significance, little is known about the genomic factors underpinning its adaptability and resilience in such harsh environments. This study investigates the genomic basis of Blastococcus's adaptability within its specific microniches, offering insights into its potential for biotechnological applications.

Pitting corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) significantly shortens the lifespan of metallic pipelines. Antibacterial coatings containing S-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers represent a promising method to mitigate SRB corrosion. However, the challenge of balancing rapid bactericide release with continuous antibacterial effect limits their practical application.
