TL;DR: A definition of microbiome is proposed based on the compact, clear, and comprehensive description of the term provided by Whipps et al. in 1988, amended with a set of novel recommendations considering the latest technological developments and research findings.

TL;DR: The rhizosphere bacterium Azospirillum brasilense NH, originally isolated from salt-affected soil in northern Algeria, greatly enhanced growth of durum wheat under saline soil conditions and could effectively provide alone or in combination with extracts of U. lactuca a promising solution to overcome salt inhibition which is a major threat hindering productive wheat cultivation in arid saline soils.

TL;DR: Known as well as yet uncultivated diazotrophs were found active in sugarcane roots and stems using molecular analyses, and should help to better understand the basis of the biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) activity of a high nitrogen fixing Sugarcane variety.

TL;DR: This study suggests that AHL degradation is an integral part of the whole autoinducer circuit of P. putida IsoF, allowing quantitative predictions and a further understanding of the QS-based regulations in this bacterium.

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to describe the diversity of bacterial communities associated with cowpea root nodules using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, regarding the factors plant genotype and soil type.
