Streptomycetes, soil-dwelling mycelial bacteria that form sporulating aerial branches, have
an exceptionally large number of predicted secreted proteins, including many exported via …

This review explores a coevolutionary framework for the study and management of disease-
suppressive soil microbial communities. Because antagonistic microbial interactions are …

Microbial activities are the dynamic core in the soil nutrient cycle. To improve the
knowledges about the responses of soil microbial community structure and potential function …

Plant species, plant community diversity and microbial interactions can significantly impact
soil microbial communities, yet there are few data on the interactive effects of plant species …

High densities of antagonistic Streptomyces are associated with plant disease suppression
in many soils. Here we review use of inoculation and organic matter amendments for …

Microbial diversity studies using small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences continue to
advance our understanding of biological and ecological systems. Although a good predictor …

Endophytes often have dramatic effects on their host plants. Characterizing the relationships
among members of these communities has focused on identifying the effects of single …

Potato common scab, caused by Streptomyces spp., is an annual production problem for
potato growers, and not effectively controlled by current methods. A field with naturally …

Integral soil fertility is managed by practices that contribute to organic matter, which
improves its properties. Bokashi is an organic amendment that can be part of the tools used …

Soil conservation practices are critical for agricultural sustainability, and in this study the
shotgun sequencing approach was used to investigate the effects on soil biodiversity of …
