Soil ecosystems are sustained by intricate networks of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, archaea and microeukaryotes—that interact with one another, with plant roots and with soil physicochemical ...
Fusarium wilt is a major threat to global watermelon production, especially under long-term monoculture practices. Traditionally, research has focused on how pathogens invade or how certain beneficial ...
Aquaculture is expected to play an increasingly important role in global food security, yet the sector faces mounting pressures from intensification, ...
New cultivation framework: KAUST scientists propose a systematic approach using genomic data, AI, and metabolic modeling to grow hard-to-culture microbes. Why it matters: Many uncultivated microbes ...
Combining approaches to better discover and cultivate microbial taxa could generate novel microbes for industrial and ...
Microbes beneath our feet quietly orchestrate the health of ecosystems, but their seasonal rhythms remain a mystery—especially in coastal wetlands. A new study uncovers a surprising twist: microbial ...
Microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is emerging as a sustainable alternative to traditional fish oil due to overfishing and marine ...
