Summary: This study evaluated the effects of two legume tree species, Pentaclethra macrophylla and Acacia auriculiformis, on soil macronutrients and crop yield in the Congo Basin. The results showed that both species had similar impacts on soil macronutrients, but P. macrophylla had higher yields for cassava and maize. Higher tree planting density negatively affected crop yield.

Summary: In this study, actinomycetes strains KRD168T and KRD185T isolated from sediments collected from the deep Southern Ocean were described as two novel species of the genus Pseudonocardia through polyphasic approach. Genomic analysis allowed for species delimitation, based on average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization. The names Pseudonocardia abyssalis sp. nov. and Pseudonocardia oceani are proposed for these newly identified species.

Summary: This study analyzes the dynamics of functional microbial populations in the soil of an agroforestry system. The results show that the type of crops determines the content of soil organic material and the population structure and abundance of functional microbes. Microbial colonization in the rhizosphere and root exudates influence the mineralization of soil organic matter, nutrient availability, and tree performance.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of the invasive alien species Acacia auriculiformis in the mangrove ecosystems of southern Sri Lanka and assess its risk to the periphery of mangrove forests. The growth performances of two mangrove species, Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina, in the presence of Acacia plants were also tested. The results showed significant infestation of Acacia plants in the southern coast of Sri Lanka, particularly in Matara and Hambantota districts. The Simpson diversity index indicated high species diversity in the periphery of the Rekawa mangrove forest. The study emphasizes the need for early intervention and serious scrutiny to mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on mangrove forests.

Summary: A novel actinobacterium strain SF1(T) was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a star fruit plant in Bangkok, Thailand. Through morphological, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic analysis, it was classified in the genus Actinomycetospora. The strain showed aerobic, Gram-positive, and non-motile characteristics, with growth occurring in a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentrations. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SF1(T) had high similarity to other Actinomycetospora strains. Genome sequencing revealed the size and G+C content of the strain's genome. Based on chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic, and genomic evidence, strain SF1(T) represents a novel species in the genus Actinomycetospora.

Summary: This study investigated the structure and diversity of duckweed-associated bacteria (DAB) among four duckweed subtypes under natural and nutrient-deficient conditions using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The results showed that Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum in duckweed samples. A total of 24 microbial genera were identified as a core microbiome, with consistent proportions across all duckweed subtypes. The diversity of microbial communities decreased after nutrient-deficient stress, but the relative abundance of certain genera significantly increased. Functional prediction of the metagenome data revealed enrichment of essential pathways involved in DAB colonization and biodegradation under stress condition.
