Anaerobic Biodegradation of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) under Flooded Paddy Soil Conditions
Plastic pollution in aquatic environments has become a global concern, and agricultural plastics are one potential source. Biodegradable plastics have been developed as an alternative; however, their degradation behavior under flooded so...

Single-cell Genomic Analysis of Fiber-adhering Rumen Bacteria during an in situ Incubation of Timothy Hay
Rumen microorganisms adhere to the surface of ingested feed and degrade fibrous compounds into short-chain fatty acids, which are the primary source of energy for milk and meat production. A more detailed understanding of uncultured rumi...

A Novel Epiphytic Clonostachys chloroleuca Strain that Effectively Controls Cucumber Anthracnose
Cucumber anthracnose is a destructive disease caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare that affects global cucumber production. Although plant-associated fungi are promising sources of biological control agents, their efficacy against cucumbe...

Metatranscriptome Data Support the Existence of Two Distinct Morphotypes in a Single Parmalean Species in Natural Environments
Parmales, the sister clade of diatoms, includes isolates exhibiting one of two morphotypes: a silicified non-flagellated form (S-type) and a naked flagellated form (F-type). Although the alternation of these forms for a single isolate ha...

Characterization of Culturable Plant Growth-promoting Bacteria Isolated from Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. Roots
Amaranths plants grow under several abiotic stress conditions and produce high-quality edible seeds. Despite their high agronomic and nutritional potential, their endophytic bacteria have not yet been characterized. This study aimed to i...

Effects of Organic Substrate Concentrations on Biological Mn Oxidation and Reduction under Aerobic Conditions
Biological Mn oxidation mediated by manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) plays a central role in Mn cycling in natural and engineered systems. Although most MnOB are heterotrophic and frequently associated with oligotrophic environments, ...

Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium ottawaense Effectively Reduces N2O Emissions from Degraded Soybean Nodules in Andosols Dominated by nosZ-lacking Bradyrhizobia
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, and its largest anthropogenic source is agricultural soils. In these soils, N2O emissions are produced from nitrogen fertilization and nitrogen-rich crop residues, such as soybean nodules. ...

Root-associated Bacterial Communities of Sugarcane Cultivated for Traditional Wasanbon Sugar differ among Cultivation Sites in Kagawa, Japan
Sugarcane for traditional Wasanbon sugar has long been cultivated in Higashi-Kagawa. Three sugarcane cultivars were cultivated at three sites in Kagawa Prefecture, and root-associated bacterial communities were analyzed using 16S rRNA ge...

Oxic Subseafloor Microbial Communities Retain Anabolic Capacity under both Oxic and Oxygen-depleted Conditions
Marine subseafloor sediments underlying open ocean regions are predominantly low-energy environments; however, they harbor vast microbial populations. How these communities persist and whether they retain anabolic capacity during transie...

Rapid Diversification of a Natural Heterosigma akashiwo Virus Population during a Host Bloom
Despite the ecological importance of viruses, our understanding of their evolutionary dynamics in natural environments remains limited. This gap is particularly pronounced for giant dsDNA viruses of the phyla Nucleocytoviricota and Mirus...
