Understanding and exploiting plant beneficial microbes.
After a century of incremental research, technological advances, coupled with a need for sustainable crop yield increases, have reinvigorated the study of beneficial plant-microbe interactions with attention focused on how microbiomes alter plant phenotypes. We review recent advances in plant microbiome research, and describe potential applications for increasing crop productivity. The phylogen...
متن کاملLipid metabolism by gut microbes and atherosclerosis.
A recent metabolomic study provides evidence that microbial metabolism of lipids in the gut yields product(s) that promote atherosclerosis. These results add another dimension—the microbiome—to the complex determinants of atherogenesis. Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a complex pathophenotype that is governed by genetic and environmental determinants. The mechanistic interplay between speci...
متن کاملExploiting Microbes and Plants to Clean up Pesticide Contaminated Environments
This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2002 Background Microbes and plants are among the most important biological agents that remove and degrade waste materials to enable their recycling in the environment. Whilst these agents are adapted to tackle most naturally occurring substances, many modern synthetic chemicals present a challenge to their remediating capabilities. The fact that...
متن کاملCore Microbiome of Medicinal Plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Seed: A Rich Reservoir of Beneficial Microbes for Secondary Metabolism?
Seed microbiome includes special endophytic or epiphytic microbial taxa associated with seeds, which affects seed germination, plant growth, and health. Here, we analyzed the core microbiome of 21 Salvia miltiorrhiza seeds from seven different geographic origins using 16S rDNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, followed by bioinformatics analysis. The whole bacterial microbiome was classified into 17...
متن کاملGenomics Sheds Light on Metabolism of Cryptic Marine Microbes
Obtaining structural information about Vif is of interest for several reasons that include the study of the interaction of Vif with APOBEC3G, a resistance factor. Vif is a potential drug target and its function is essential for the HIV-1 infectivity process. To study Vif mechanism of action, we need to decipher its structure. Pivotal in this approach is the painstaking prediction of its protein...
