Summary: This study elucidated the soil bacterial diversity in Central Mozambique where slash-and-burn farming has been practiced for different durations of forest fallow period. The results showed that spatial, temporal, and vertical variations influenced the bacterial community structure and its relationship with soil physicochemical properties. The uncommon application of the pedological approach for microbial evaluation facilitated the detection of horizontal and vertical heterogeneities in bacterial composition along the soil profile.

Summary: Soils from the semiarid regions of Brazil are at high risk of desertification due to various factors. However, restoration strategies such as conservationist practices and grazing exclusion have shown potential in recovering the richness and diversity of soil bacterial and archaeal communities. These strategies also improve the connectivity and functionality of soil microorganisms over time.

Summary: This study compared the agronomic traits and microbiomes of normal and marbled fruit in Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Orah'. The results showed no significant differences in microbiome diversity between the two groups, but the normal fruit group had higher fruit yields and better quality. The most abundant microbial populations in marbled fruit were Burkholderiaceae and Acidobacteria, while Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were dominant in normal fruit. Additionally, there were significant differences in metabolic pathways between the two groups according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis.

Summary: Urbanization alters soil bacterial diversity and community composition, with higher diversity in urban areas compared to suburban and rural areas in forests and grasslands. The dominant soil bacterial community shifts from Acidobacteria to Proteobacteria in forestland with increasing urbanization intensity. In contrast, Proteobacteria consistently dominate the soil bacterial community in grassland along the rural-suburban-urban gradient, with significant changes in Nitrospirae and Latescibacteria induced by urbanization. Factors such as urbanization, total nitrogen, total organic carbon, ratio of carbon and nitrogen, and soil water content are found to be related to the bacterial community in forest and grassland soils.

Summary: The study analyzed the dynamics of microbial communities in different water depths in the PFB in the nwGoM. The results showed that the community structure was influenced by various factors, such as cruise, water depth, temperature, salinity, and nutrient concentrations. The study also identified specific microbial taxa that were abundant in different depths. These findings provide insights into the stability and ecological relevance of microbial communities in sedimentary environments.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between bacterial community structure and environmental parameters in different areas along the Cerrado-Ecotone-Caatinga gradient. It was found that each area harbored a distinct bacterial community shaped by environmental factors, with changes in community structure related to pH, Al, and temperature. Additionally, a gradient of decreased complexity was observed from Cerrado to Caatinga, reflecting responses to soil characteristics.

Summary: The study investigated the soil bacterial composition and diversity in five different alpine grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau. While the taxonomic compositions of soil bacteria were similar, the community structures differed among the grassland types. Environmental conditions such as soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, pH, and soil water content were found to influence the soil bacterial communities in the region.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of zinc peroxide nanoparticles (nZnO(2)) on taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterial communities in agricultural soil. The findings showed that exposure to low concentrations of nZnO(2) (10-100 mg/kg soil) increased the molecular diversity of bacterial communities, while high concentrations (1000 mg/kg soil) reduced both taxonomic and functional diversity.

Summary: This study provides a description of sediment microbial communities in the Houston Ship Channel-Galveston Bay estuary after Hurricane Harvey. The presence and abundance of specific bacterial and archaeal taxa indicate pollutant inputs and the study also observed microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of xenobiotics. The spatial occurrence of a specific degrader of persistent polychlorinated compounds is explained by sediment properties and contaminant concentrations.

Summary: The climate change has significantly affected Kongsfjorden, leading to increased melting of sea ice and glaciers. The dominance of the mixotrophic chrysophyte Poterioochromonas malhamensis in the surface water with salinity lower than 34 has been observed, indicating a potential shift in the ecosystem of Kongsfjorden.

Summary: This study isolated heavy metal-resistant bacteria from soils and sediments of the Lerma-Chapala Basin and evaluated their abilities to produce metallophores and promote plant growth. The bacteria produced metallophores for all tested metal ions, with a higher production for As3+. They showed high resistance to Zn2+, As5+, and Ni2+. Further analysis revealed the presence of siderophores synthesis in 170 strains out of the 320 bacteria isolated.

Summary: According to this study, rhizobial inoculation significantly affects the diversity and composition of chickpea rhizosphere microbiota. The composition of rhizosphere microbial communities varies between Xinjiang and other areas, and is influenced by rhizobial inoculation. Pseudomonas may be the key microorganism influencing the competitive nodulation of different chickpea rhizobia in different soils.
