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

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/... @prof-braj-singh.bsky.social

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: [email protected]

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 🐐🐄🌍

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...

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 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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?...

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