DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2120975119
Abstract: Significance Across many global drylands, biocrusts form a protective barrier on the soil surface and fill many critical roles in these harsh yet fragile environments. Previous short-term research suggests that climate change and invasive plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.003196
Abstract: A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, light-pink, short rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strain was isolated from biological soil crust sampled in the Hopq Desert, Inner Mongolia, China, designated MIMBbqt21T. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 55.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis… read more here.
