Characteristics of biological control agents and their antagonism against rice pathogens and pests
… management in Asian rice farming. The use of beneficial microbial agents for the control of pathogens and pests is a potential tool to sustain rice productivity and reduce ecological and environmental impacts due to pesticide overuse. Initially, 15 putatively beneficial bacteria, previously …

Introducing the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a model for investigating microbial mediation of health and disease in hexacorals
… natural state harbor complex communities of microbes including those that are beneficial (symbionts), neutral, or harmful (pathogens). The dynamic interactions between animals and their microbiota often dictate the balance between health and disease. Environmental perturbations may disrupt …

The Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia illucens Linnaeus (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): A Novel Approach to Combat Food Waste in Windsor-Essex.
… role of pre-digestion and fermentation with beneficial microbes in the black soldier fly waste reduction process with the goal of improving the baseline waste reduction efficiency. Fermentation time impacted development and waste reduction efficiency of the black soldier fly. Diets fermented …

The regulation of bacterial virulence by mucin glycans
… for the microbiota, forming a habitat in which beneficial microbes can thrive while preventing outgrowth and infection of potentially pathogenic microbes. The virulence-disruption activity of mucus is enabled mucin, a glycoprotein that forms the mucus gel. Upon sensing the O-glycans displayed …

The genetic, neuronal, and chemical basis for microbial discrimination in Caenorhabditis elegans
Discrimination among pathogenic and beneficial microbes is essential for host organism immunity and homeostasis. Increasingly, the nervous system of animals is being recognized as an important site of bacterial recognition, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. …

In planta studies of the corn pathogen Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and applications of a corn-based industrial byproduct
… corn pathogen and applied research about beneficial microbes grown on a corn-based substrate are expected to improve scientific endeavors as well as agricultural practices.

Investigation of Miscanthus associated microbiome: effects of biotic and abiotic factors
… as well as the maintenance of soil fertility. Beneficial microbes, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, contribute to plant yield and fitness, representing under-explored plant nutrient sources. Optimizing the positive interactions between Miscanthus species and associated bacteria has high …

Innovative Approaches for Detection and Management of Fruit Rot Diseases in Annual Hill Plasticulture Strawberry Production System
… also enhancing soil health and crop production. Beneficial bacteria, like Bacillus spp., play a crucial role as biocontrol agents by inhibiting the growth of plant pathogens and promoting plant growth. The first study aimed to develop a new approach that integrates small unmanned aerial vehicles …

A comprehensive microbiome analysis of wheat and its wild relatives
… by establishing symbioses with a consortium of beneficial microbes (Iannucci et al., 2017). However, these microbial communities are not well understood. The goal of this study is to better understand the core community of microbes in wild wheat relatives and how they differ from the microbiome …

Soil microbial community dynamics associated with agricultural crops
… communities that reside in the soil. Soil microbes regulate the decomposition of organic matter, the cycling of nutrients to crops and can induce systemic resistance. They also drive global biogeochemical cycles that influence the climate, which in turn determine the growing environment for …

Modulation of the microbiota-gut-brain axis by fermented foods
The gut harbours trillions of microbes that are involved in robust communication with the host. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors modulate the composition of the gut microbiota. Over the past two decades seminal work on the impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota composition has resulted in …

Genetic and Environmental Modulation of the Chickpea - Mesorhizobium Symbiosis
… tissues that play a role in interactions with beneficial microbes, insect herbivores, and pathogens. As chickpea is nodulated with diverse Mesorhizobium species, genetic factors related to both rhizobia and host plant, and environmental conditions are likely to influence plant growth and …

Characterization of arbuscular mycorrhial fungi on Glycine max and its influence on plant disease severity
… One method to consider is using a group of beneficial microbes called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that form associations with over 80% of all terrestrial plant species and assist plants by increasing nutrient uptake, drought tolerance, and resilience against pathogens and pests. …
