Manipulation of rhizobia microflora for improving legume productivity and soil fertility: a critical assessment
TL;DR: This paper considers ways and means by which populations of root-nodule bacteria can be manipulated ecologically, agronomically, edaphically and genetically to improve legume productivity and, as a consequence, soil fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Community Dynamics Associated with Rhizosphere Carbon Flow
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using 13C labeling and PLFA analysis to examine the microbial dynamics associated with rhizosphere C cycling by focusing on the members actively involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community composition and functioning of denitrifying bacteria from adjacent meadow and forest soils.
TL;DR: Community composition was related to process rates and vegetation type as determined on the basis of multivariate analyses of nosZ terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles, and denitrifying communities formed distinct groups according to vegetation type and site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in inoculant technology and prospects for the future
TL;DR: It seems clear that world-wide production of legume inoculant is static or in decline, a paradoxical situation in a world where improved strategies for augmenting biological N2 fixation have the potential to contribute enormous returns in the quality and quantity of food for humans and domestic animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Resistance and Resilience of Soil Microbial Communities and Enzyme Activities in Adjacent Native Forest and Agricultural Soils
TL;DR: Results of this study show that deforestation followed by long-term cultivation changed microbial community composition and had differential effects on microbial functional stability.
