Anaerobiosis, a neglected factor in phage-bacteria interactions | Applied and Environmental Microbio... Many parameters affect phage-bacteria interaction. Some of these parameters depend on the environment in which the bacteria are present. Anaerobiosis effect on phage infection in facultative anaerobic...

🔆The anaerobic side of phage therapy

Anoxic conditions, which are more relevant to therapeutics, influence the effectiveness of phage therapies against facultative anaerobes. ⚠️

With a pinch of salt: metagenomic insights into Namib Desert salt pan microbial mats and halites rev... The hyperarid Namib Desert is one of the oldest deserts on Earth. It contains multiple clusters of playas which are saline-rich springs surrounded by halite evaporites. Playas are of great ecological ...

🔆A microbial view of salt adaptions in desert "playas"
Saline-rich springs surrounded by halite evaporates (playas) contribute to the erosion of deserts. Intense microbial-virus interactions drive the evolution of the salt-adapted communities.

Gallionellaceae in rice root plaque: metabolic roles in iron oxidation, nutrient cycling, and plant ... In waterlogged soils, iron plaque forms a reactive barrier between the root and soil, collecting phosphate and metals such as arsenic and cadmium. It is well established that iron-reducing bacteria so...

🍚 Rice and a pinch of microbial iron

Fe-oxidizers & Fe-reducers partner to form mineral plaques on the roots of rice plants and promote cooperative interactions with other microbes for effective plant protection and nutrition.
