Journal ArticleDOI

Belowground carbon allocation by trees drives seasonal patterns of extracellular enzyme activities by altering microbial community composition in a beech forest soil

Christina Kaiser, +10 more
- 01 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the seasonal pattern of microbial community composition and decomposition processes over a 2-year period was conducted in a beech forest and the results indicated that ectomycorrhizal fungi are possibly involved in autumn cellulase and protease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen fixation by phyllosphere bacteria associated with higher plants and their colonizing epiphytes of a tropical lowland rainforest of Costa Rica.

Michael Fürnkranz, +5 more
- 01 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that cyanobacteria as well as γ-proteobacteria associated with leaf-colonizing epiphytes may provide significant nitrogen input into this rainforest ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of specific peaks obtained by diffuse reflectance Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy to study the composition of organic matter in a Haplic Chernozem

Michael Scott Demyan, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, specific peaks obtained by diffuse reflectance Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) for characterizing the soil organic matter (SOM) composition of a Haplic Chernozem were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhizosphere bacteria affected by transgenic potatoes with antibacterial activities compared with the effects of soil, wild-type potatoes, vegetation stage and pathogen exposure

Frank Rasche, +6 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: The impact of the genetic modification was only transient and minor, or comparable to the dominant variations caused by soil type, plant genotype, vegetation stage and pathogen exposure, to compare plant transformation-related variations with commonly accepted impacts caused by altered environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of transgenic potatoes expressing anti-bacterial agents on bacterial endophytes is comparable with the effects of plant genotype, soil type and pathogen infection

Frank Rasche, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of anti-bacterial proteins may affect bacterial endophytes; however, the impacts were no greater than those of other factors analysed and future risk assessment studies of GM crops should consider different environmental factors.
