This study identifies microbial taxa associated with improved soil structure under Miscanthus x giganteus and shows greater microbial network complexity in perennial plants compared to annual maize.

This study shows that metabolically engineered oilcane alters rhizosphere microbial communities while maintaining overall functional capacity in greenhouse and field settings.

This study quantifies antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in intracellular and extracellular DNA from fresh and stored dairy manure, finding exDNA is enriched in pits and may enhance gene transfer.

This study shows that bacteria in honeybee crops are distinct from those in nectar and mouths, challenging the assumption that crops are transient and environmentally influenced.

MetaFunPrimer designs primers for multiple functional genes using metagenomic references, improving targeting of amoA-AOB genes in soil samples compared to existing primers.

The paper curates a soil microbial genome database (RefSoil) to improve annotation of soil metagenomes and identifies underrepresented taxa for future sequencing.
