Soil microbial composition and abundance influence the growth of Lotus japonicus - Journal of Plant Research In mutualistic symbiosis between plants and bacteria, the abundance and composition of symbiotic bacterial groups in the soil microbiota can be important for plant growth. Here, we focused on the nitr...

Precipitation legacy effects on soil microbiota facilitate adaptive drought responses in plants - Nature Microbiology Metagenomes from prairie soils in Kansas, USA, show how historical exposure to water stress impacts soil microorganisms and subsequently drought responses in plants.

I'm thrilled to share our newest publication in @natmicrobiol.nature.com, led by Drs. @botanichole.bsky.social, Valéria Custódio, and David Gopaulchan: Precipitation legacy effects on #SoilMicrobiota facilitate adaptive drought responses in plants. 🌾 🧪 (thread)

My project aims at unraveling how the environmental lifestyle of #Aspergillusfumigatus, through its interaction with the #soilmicrobiota (bacteria, fungi and predatory amoebae), shapes its #virulence and ability to infect humans. Stay tuned for updates!
