Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphate solubilization by Penicillium spp. closely associated with wheat roots
TL;DR: New isolates of Penicillium fungi with high mineral phosphate solubilizing activity are identified, being investigated for the ability to increase crop production on strong P-retaining soils in Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat selective factors influencing the structural composition and functional capacity of microbial communities in agricultural soils
Steven A. Wakelin,Lynne M. Macdonald,Lynne M. Macdonald,Stephen L. Rogers,Adrienne L. Gregg,T.P. Bolger,Jeff Baldock +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that soil pH is a primary driver of microbial diversity and function in soil, and agricultural management practices thereby act to selectively shift populations and functions against this background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent on Microbial Function and Community Structure in the Sediment of a Freshwater Stream with Variable Seasonal Flow
TL;DR: Together these data suggest cause and effect between nutrient loading into the creek, shift in bacterial communities through habitat change, and alteration of capacity for biogeochemical cycling of N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term organic and inorganic fertilization alters temperature sensitivity of potential N2O emissions and associated microbes
Peiyuan Cui,Fenliang Fan,Chang Yin,Alin Song,Ping-Rong Huang,Yongjun Tang,Ping Zhu,Chang Peng,Tingqiang Li,Steven A. Wakelin,Yongchao Liang +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a strong correlation was observed between nirS gene abundance and potential N2O emissions, while the relationship between AOA, nirK gene abundances and potential n2O emission was significant but relatively weak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria, not archaea, restore nitrification in a zinc-contaminated soil.
Jelle Mertens,Kris Broos,Kris Broos,Steven A. Wakelin,George A. Kowalchuk,Dirk Springael,Erik Smolders +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a phylogenetic shift within the AOB community drives recovery of nitrification from Zn contamination in this soil.
