Strain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactions ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2025-02-08 Jos Kramer, Simon Maréchal, Alexandre R T Figueiredo, Rolf Kümmerli
Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditional research predominantly focuses on effects related to species identity (community composition and species richness), recent work increasingly explores the impact of species interactions on community functioning. Here, we conducted experiments with replicated

Mechanisms of cooperation in the plants-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-bacteria continuum ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2025-02-06 Shilong Duan, Zexing Jin, Lin Zhang, Stéphane Declerck
In nature, cooperation is an essential way for species, whether they belong to the same kingdom or to different kingdoms, to overcome the scarcity of resources and improve their fitness. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are symbiotic microorganisms whose origin date back 400 million years. They form symbiotic associations with the vast majority of terrestrial plants, helping them to obtain nutrients from

Occurrence of “under-the-radar” antibiotic resistance in anthropogenically affected produce ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2025-02-06 Chagai Davidovich, Kseniia Erokhina, Chhedi Lal Gupta, Yong-Guan Zhu, Jian-Qiang Su, Steven P Djordjevic, Ethan R Wyrsch, Shlomo E Blum, Eddie Cytryn
With global climate change, treated-wastewater irrigation and manure amendment are becoming increasingly important in sustainable agriculture in water- and nutrient-stressed regions. Yet, these practices can potentially disseminate pathogens and antimicrobial resistance determinants to crops, resulting in serious health risks to humans through the food chain. Previous studies demonstrated that pathogen

Active bacteria driving N2O mitigation and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in ammonia recovery bioreactors ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2025-02-05 Hop V Phan, Shohei Yasuda, Kohei Oba, Hiroki Tsukamoto, Tomoyuki Hori, Megumi Kuroiwa, Akihiko Terada
Shifting from ammonia removal to recovery is the current strategy in wastewater treatment management. We recently developed a microaerophilic activated sludge system for retaining ammonia whereas removing organic carbon with minimal N2O emissions. A comprehensive understanding of nitrogen metabolisms in the system is essential to optimize system performance. Here, we employed metagenomics and metatranscriptomics

Bacteroidota species are enriched in the plant microbiome and provide several beneficial functions for their host, including disease suppression. Determining the mechanisms that enable bacteroidota to colonise plant roots may therefore provide opportunities for enhancing crop production through microbiome engineering. By focusing on nutrient acquisition mechanisms, we discovered Bacteroidota species

Division of metabolic labour is a defining trait of natural and engineered microbiomes. Denitrification – the stepwise reduction of nitrate and nitrite to nitrogenous gases – is inherently modular, catalysed either by a single microorganism (termed complete denitrifier) or by consortia of partial denitrifiers. Despite the pivotal role of denitrification in biogeochemical cycles and environmental biotechnologies

The maintenance of bacterial diversity at both species- and strain-levels is crucial for the sustainability of honey bee gut microbiota and host health. Periodic or random fluctuation in diet typically alters the metabolic niches available to gut microbes, thereby continuously reshaping bacterial diversity and interspecific interactions. It remains unclear how closely related bacteria adapt to these

Biological conversion of carbon dioxide into methane has a crucial role in global carbon cycling and is operated by a specialised set of anaerobic archaea. Although it is known that this conversion is strictly linked with cooperative bacterial activity, such as through syntrophic acetate oxidation, there is also a limited understanding on how this cooperation is regulated and metabolically realised

Microbial competition for iron determines its availability to the ferrous wheel ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2025-01-27 Robert F Strzepek, Pauline Latour, Michael J Ellwood, Yeala Shaked, Philip W Boyd
Iron plays a pivotal role in regulating ocean primary productivity. Iron is supplied from diverse sources such as the atmosphere and the geosphere, and hence iron biogeochemical research has focused on identifying and quantifying such sources of “new” iron. However, the recycling of this new iron fuels up to 90% of the productivity in vast oceanic regions. Evidence points to the key role of microbes
