TL;DR: It is concluded that, although crucial in enabling the identification of plant-derived carbon-utilising microbes, current technologies lack the high-throughput ability to quantitatively apportion carbon use by phylogentic groups and its use efficiency and destination within the microbial metabolome.

TL;DR: The results suggest that nitrifier denitrification could be a universal trait in the betaproteobacterial AOB and its potential ecological significance is discussed.

TL;DR: The conventional roles of flavonoids as nod gene inducers, phytoalexins and allelochemicals are summarized before exploring questions concerning 'non-target' impacts and it is hypothesized that flavonoid act to shape rhizosphere microbial community structure because they represent a potential source of carbon and toxicity and that they impact on rhizospheric function, for example, by accelerating the biodegradation of xenobiotics.

TL;DR: A critical parameter in determining the extent of atrazine mineralization by P. ADP was C(s):N(atz) (soluble carbon toAtrazine nitrogen ratio): C(a) > 40 was required for maximal atrazin mineralization.

TL;DR: Overall, there was no evidence for negative effects of nZVI or mZVI on the processes studied and potential confounding effects of the test particles on assay conditions should be considered.
