Biological management, rather than chemical management, promotes the interaction between plants and their microbiome

This study identifies potato cultivars that promote beneficial interactions with rhizosphere microbes under biological management, showing that plant cultivar and microbiome together influence below-ground growth, unlike under chemical management.

Community coalescence altered the potential of horizontal gene transfers within the native soil microbiome

The paper investigates how microbial community coalescence affects horizontal gene transfer potential in soil microbiomes, finding increased insertion sequence abundance and varied MGE responses over time.

Do inoculated microbial consortia perform better than single strains in living soil? A meta-analysis

This study compares single-species and microbial consortium inoculation effects on biofertilization and bioremediation in soil, finding consortia more effective in field settings.

More persistent bacterial than fungal associations in the microbiota of a pest

This study compares microbial communities in Drosophila suzukii and their host fruits, finding more persistent bacterial associations than fungal ones across generations.
