Open AccessShort-term restoration practices change the bacterial community in degraded soil from the Brazilian semiarid
Land degradation by deforestation adversely impacts soil properties, and long-term restoration practices have been reported to potentially reverse these effects, particularly on soil microorganisms. However, t...

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...

Tolerance and reduction of chromium by bacterial strains
Bacteria have potential to tolerate and reduce metals. This study evaluated the potential of selected bacterial strains in tolerating and reducing chromium (Cr). Six bacterial strains (Rhizobium miluonense LCC01,...

Open AccessGenetically related genotypes of cowpea present similar bacterial community in the rhizosphere
Plant breeding reduces the genetic diversity of plants and could influence the composition, structure, and diversity of the rhizosphere microbiome, selecting more homogeneous and specialized microbes. In this ...

Dynamics of bacterial and archaeal communities along the composting of tannery sludge
The process of composting has been proposed as a biological alternative to improve the quality of tannery sludge (TS) by the action of microbial communities. However, there is limited knowledge about the dynam...

Capability of plant growth-promoting bacteria in chromium-contaminated soil after application of composted tannery sludge
The aim of this study was to select bacterial strains with biochemical capability to tolerate high concentration of chromium (Cr) in soils. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) were isolated from the root no...
