Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are well known for their capacity to enhance the growth and survival of in vitro-grown plants. However, their effect on Nardostachys jatamansi (D. Don) DC., a critically endangered medicinal plant in the I...

Leather biodegradation is a complex microbial process with increasing relevance for sustainable waste management. In this study, we investigated bacterial communities responsible for the degradation of leather treated with different tanning agents (c...

Azospirillum is a well-studied genus of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and one of the most extensively researched diazotrophs. This genus can colonize rhizosphere soil and enhance plant growth and productivity by supplying essential nutr...

The genus Turicibacter is a common inhabitant of the small intestine of numerous animal species, including chickens. However, little is known about the phenotypic and genetic diversity of the genus. Within the chicken small intestine, bile and its pr...

Grass carp in aquaculture exhibited symptoms of bacterial infection leading to mortality. To investigate the cause of the disease and control grass carp infections, samples from diseased grass carp were collected, and a bacterial strain named XH-1 wa...

Nitrifying bacteria, including ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), are players in the nitrogen cycle but pose serious health risks when colonizing drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs). While the global impac...

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is widely prevalent across the globe and is a major etiological agent of various gastric pathologies. This bacterium colonizes the human stomach, where it induces a range of mucosal abnormalities observa...

In the African Sahel, fonio (Digitaria sp.) is a cereal crop that alleviates mid-season hunger before other main crops are harvested. As fonio is valued for its ability to grow under low nutrient and drought conditions, it was hypothesized that it ma...

The oral microbiome, a highly diverse and intricate ecosystem of microorganisms, plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of systemic health. With the oral cavity housing over 700 different bacterial species, the body’s second most diverse micro...

Postharvest losses of Solanaceae crops, which include potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and others, are one of the major challenges in agriculture throughout the world, impacting food secur...
