    Domestication of Lima Bean (Phaseolus lunatus) Changes the Microbial Communities in the Rhizosphere

    Plants modulate the soil microbiota and select a specific microbial community in the rhizosphere. However, plant domestication reduces genetic diversity, changes plant physiology, and could have an impact on t...

    Environmental DNA Sequencing to Monitor Restoration Practices on Soil Bacterial and Archaeal Communities in Soils Under Desertification in the Brazilian Semiarid

    Soils from Brazilian semiarid regions are highly vulnerable to desertification due to their geology, climate, human actions, and intensive land use that contribute to desertification. Therefore, areas under d...

    Polyphasic characterization of nitrogen-fixing and co-resident bacteria in nodules of Phaseolus lunatus inoculated with soils from Piauí State, Northeast Brazil

    Phaseolus lunatus (Lima bean) is an important legume for the poor population of the Brazilian northeast region. The legume is able to take advantage of the nitrogen fixation process, but the diversity of indigeno...

    Time-dependent effect of composted tannery sludge on the chemical and microbial properties of soil

    Composting has been suggested as an efficient method for tannery sludge recycling before its application to the soil. However, the application of composted tannery sludge (CTS) should be monitored to evaluate ...

    Soil microbial properties after 5 years of consecutive amendment with composted tannery sludge

    Composting has been recognised an alternative method to tannery sludge recycling and afterwards to be used in agriculture. As the tannery sludge contains salts and chromium, the application of composted tanner...
