STREAMS guidelines: standards for technical reporting in environmental and host-associated microbiome studies - Nature Microbiology This Consensus Statement presents the standards for technical reporting in environmental and host-associated microbiome studies (STREAMS) guidelines.

Glad to be part of the STREAMS Consortium (248 researchers from 28 countries), contributing to new standardized reporting guidelines for environmental and host-associated microbiome research, now out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com

@esmmicrobes.bsky.social Very engaging conference schedule, thoroughly enjoyed. #esm2025 👍

Looking forward to meeting you at ESM2025

Would be happy to join

Mechanisms of Microbial VOC‐Mediated Communication in Plant Ecosystems and Agricultural Applications Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) are crucial to the ecological interactions of plants and microbes, playing pivotal roles in plant defence, communication, and growth promotion. The classi...

Happy to share our article in Wiley Journal #JASE. Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) are a game-changer for sustainable farming due to their critical role in boosting plant growth, resilience, defense & stress tolerance onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Post-Doc position for 3 years available jointly between University of Tartu (Estonia) and University of Aarhus (Denmark) on soil microbiome and biogeography. Skills required: bioinformatics, metagenome analysis, microbiology
Contact: leho.tedersoo@ut.ee

Is it possible to get added here @balachaudhary.bsky.social

Completely agree. The field also critically needs biochemists, biogeochemists, and true ecologists too. To become more mechanistic rather than observational, and bounded in biogeochemical principles and ecological frameworks. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Antimicrobial metabolites of Bacillus velezensis FZB42 reshape rice rhizosphere microbial community composition and induce host resistance against Rhizoctonia solani

-in Current Plant Biology

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In our latest @naturefood.bsky.social article rdcu.be/d6uiN we used dung collected at 760 sites to map livestock & wild herbivores across drylands. Our results show that livestock and wild herbivore grazing is globally disconnected & highlight herbivore activity hotspots 🐐🐄🌍

Antimicrobial metabolites of Bacillus velezensis FZB42 reshape rice rhizosphere microbial community composition and induce host resistance against Rhizoctonia solani Rhizoctonia solani, the causative agent of sheath blight disease, poses a significant threat to global rice production. Biocontrol agents (BCAs) and t…

Happy to share our newly accepted article on Bacillus velezensis FZB42 and its metabolites in combating sheath blight in rice! We show how strain reshapes rhizosphere microbiome and boosts plant immunity. 👍@elsevierconnect.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Further unable to open starter pack 2

Would be glad to be part if this starter pack. Thanks Katherine for your efforts…!

Siderophore synthetase-receptor gene coevolution reveals habitat- and pathogen-specific bacterial iron interaction networks Coevolving siderophore genes shape bacterial iron networks, unveiling the complexity of cheating across habitats and lifestyles.

We derive iron-siderophore interaction networks among Pseudomonas strains from sequencing data. One key insight: natural strains form dense networks, whereas pathogens are loners. With @frimanscience.bsky.social @zhiyuanli.bsky.social & Nanjing colleagues

Seth Bordenstein: The Disciplinary Matrix of Holobiont Biology (Introduction) YouTube video by Dr. Seth Bordenstein

A message from ‘24 and all the hard work of scientists and educators who contribute to making a positive difference. Relish inquiry, respect diverse perspectives, refute politics, and work for progress that benefits all. Holobiont biology is one tiny part of that big story. youtu.be/tJUstXn7-CY?...

Power of plant microbiome: A sustainable approach for agricultural resilience Plants encounter various biotic and abiotic stresses throughout their lifecycle, which can adversely impact their productivity and lead to yield loss.…

Our new review: We explore innovative strategies to enhance crop productivity by harnessing the power of the plant microbiome and how biotic & abiotic stress influences plant-microbe interactions, boosting plant immunity and survival.
