The substrate pH directly affects nutrient availability in the rhizosphere and nutrient uptake
by plants. Macronutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are …

Drug discovery is based on bioactivity screening of natural sources, traditionally represented
by bacteria fungi and plants. Bioactive natural products and their secondary metabolites …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria primarily grow by the oxidation of
ammonium coupled to nitrite reduction, using CO2 as the sole carbon source. Although they …

Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …
