TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether inoculating a soil with Pseudomonas sp. RU47 (RU47) bacteria would stimulate the enzymatic cleavage of organic P compounds in the rhizosphere and bulk soil, promoting plant growth.

TL;DR: It is concluded that conventional manure storage is unsuited to reduce risks from sulfonamide antibiotics in the soil environment, as effects of sulfadiazine contaminated manure on soil microorganisms were significant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how different dominant forest species and soil properties are related to soil microbial community level physiological profiles (CLPPs) in temperate forests and found that the soil microbial functional activity was related to both forest species (Quercus robur L., Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus ilex L. and Pinus radiata D) but affected by similar climatic conditions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the tiered pot-to-field experimental approach followed in this study combined with classic and standardized molecular tools could provide a realistic assessment of the toxicity of pesticides onto AM fungi as potential bioindicators.

TL;DR: It is shown that residue quality, inducing contrasting N assimilation by decomposing bacteria, was a substantial determinant of certain decomposing community members assayed in this study.
