Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Current Clinical Microbiology Reports"
DOI: 10.1007/s40588-025-00246-z
Abstract: This review explores the application of classical ecological theory to host-associated microbiomes during initial colonization, maintenance, and recovery. We discuss unique challenges of applying these theories to host-associated microbiomes and host factors to consider going… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.02.015
Abstract: The composite members of the microbiota face a range of selective pressures and must adapt to persist in the host. We highlight recent work characterizing the evolution and transfer of genetic information across nested scales of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s1002-0160(17)60370-9
Abstract: Abstract Modern breeding primarily targets crop yield traits and is likely to influence root-associated microbiomes, which play significant roles in plant growth and health. The relative importance of soil and cultivar factors in shaping root-associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.730506
Abstract: Crops assemble and rely on rhizosphere-associated microbiomes for plant nutrition, which is crucial to their productivity. Historically, excessive nitrogen fertilization did not result in continuously increasing yields but rather caused environmental issues. A comprehensive understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1650455
Abstract: The Bolivian Altiplano presents extreme environmental conditions, including high altitude, intense UV radiation, low precipitation, freezing temperatures, and saline to alkaline waters. Despite these harsh settings, cyanobacteria thrive in microbial mats, although their diversity remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d12100390
Abstract: Plant-associated microbiomes have been suggested as pivotal for the growth and health of natural vegetation and agronomic plants. In this sense, plant-associated microbiomes harbor a huge diversity of microorganisms (such as bacteria and fungi) which… read more here.
