Eight-year effect of biochar amendment on soil properties, extracellular enzyme activity, N-cycling genes and microbiome structure in two Danish fallow soils Open
Biochar improves agricultural soil properties and short-term microbial diversity. However, biochar's long-term effects on microbiomes and soil health remain poorly understood. This study assessed the effects of 8-year field-aged biochar on…

Effect of biochar on extracellular enzyme activity and microbiome dynamics across coarse sandy soil depths Open
The aim was to assess the effect of straw biochar on microbiomes along the depth (30–80 cm) of two coarse sandy subsoils. We hypothesized that biochar modifies extracellular enzyme activities (EEA), and diversity and structure of microbiom…

High doses of fine biochar in sandy subsoils increase water retention, but also cause first-year yield depressions for drought-stressed barley Open
Context Coarse sandy subsoils often suffer from low water retention and rooting depth, limiting crop yields, especially under drought conditions. Aims To determine whether high doses of fine-grained biochar (150 or 300 Mg/ha) incorporated …

Microbial communities associated with landfarming amendments during bioremediation of crude oil in Niger Delta soils Open
Landfarming is a widely utilized process that involves using bacterial biodegradation to remediate contaminated soil resulting from oil spillages. Its effectiveness can be improved using amendments that include fertilizers, biosurfactants,…

Oil Absorbent Polypropylene Particles Stimulate Biodegradation of Crude Oil by Microbial Consortia Open
Oil absorbent particles made from surface-modified polypropylene can be used to facilitate the removal of oil from the environment. In this study, we investigated to what extent absorbed oil was biodegraded and how this compared to the bio…

View article: Effects of DNA preservation solution and DNA extraction methods on microbial community profiling of soil
Effects of DNA preservation solution and DNA extraction methods on microbial community profiling of soil Open
Microbial community profiling using high-throughput sequencing relies in part on the preservation of the DNA and the effectiveness of the DNA extraction method. This study aimed at understanding to what extent these parameters affect the p…

Effectiveness of Chaetogaster limnaei as a controller of Fasciola hepatica in experimental infections of Galba truncatula Open
An effective 70% natural control of Fasciola hepatica in Galba truncatula was observed. The carrying capacity of the snail was established to be of 10.6 ± 1 annelids. Chaetogaster limnaei is a predator of Fasciola h…

The Fungus Tremella mesenterica Encodes the Longest Metallothionein Currently Known: Gene, Protein and Metal Binding Characterization Open
Fungal Cu-thioneins, and among them, the paradigmatic Neurospora crassa metallothionein (MT) (26 residues), were once considered as the shortest MTs--the ubiquitous, versatile metal-binding proteins--among all organisms, and thus represent…
