Through a variety of mechanisms, including increasing the amount of readily available
mineral nutrients, regulating phytohormone levels, and biocontrol of phytopathogens, plant …

Multiple microbial exopolysaccharides have been reported in recent decade with their
structural and functional features. Gellan gum (GG) is among these emerging biopolymers …

In the recent era, the increasing persistence of hazardous contaminants is badly affecting
the globe in many ways. Due to high environmental contamination, almost every second …

Soil microbial communities mix and interact, a widespread phenomenon known as
community coalescence. However, in the context of different coalescence degrees, the …

Background Plants can recruit beneficial microbes to enhance their ability to defend against
pathogens. However, in contrast to the intensively studied roles of the rhizosphere …

Stimulating the development of soil suppressiveness against certain pathogens represents a
sustainable solution toward reducing pesticide use in agriculture. However, understanding …

Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …
