Culturable approach to rice-root associated bacteria in Burkina Faso: diversity, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria properties and cross-comparison with metabarcoding data.

The paper isolates and characterizes rice root-associated bacteria from Burkina Faso, showing their diversity and plant growth-promoting properties, and compares them with metabarcoding data.

Quantification of the diversity sampling bias resulting from rice root bacterial isolation on popular and nitrogen-free culture media, using 16S amplicon barcoding

This study quantifies the diversity sampling bias in rice root bacterial isolation using 16S amplicon barcoding on different culture media compared to a culture-independent approach.

Comparative genomics and transcriptomic response to root exudates of six rice root-associated Burkholderia sensu lato species

The paper compares the transcriptomic responses of six rice-associated Burkholderia sensu lato species to root exudates, finding species-specific adaptations rather than genus-based patterns.

Differential genetic strategies of Burkholderia vietnamiensis and Paraburkholderia kururiensis for root colonization of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica and ssp. indica, as revealed by Tn-seq

This study compares the genetic strategies of Burkholderia vietnamiensis and Paraburkholderia kururiensis for colonizing two rice subspecies using Tn-seq, revealing differences in fitness genes and host-specific adaptations.

The impact of the rice production system (irrigated vs lowland) on root-associated microbiome from farmer's fields in western Burkina Faso

The paper compares root-associated microbiomes in irrigated and rainfed lowland rice systems in Burkina Faso, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and community structure.

First evidence of SARS-CoV-2 genome detection in zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha).

This study detects SARS-CoV-2 genome in zebra mussels exposed to raw and treated urban wastewaters, supporting their use as bioindicators for viral contamination in water.

Influence of plant genotype and soil on the wheat rhizosphere microbiome: Evidences for a core microbiome across eight African and European soils

The paper investigates the influence of wheat genotype and soil on the rhizosphere microbiome, identifying a core microbiome across diverse soils.

A phylogenetic framework of the legume genus Aeschynomene for comparative genetic analysis of the Nod-dependent and Nod-independent symbioses

This paper constructs a phylogeny of Aeschynomene legumes to study Nod-dependent and Nod-independent symbioses, identifying suitable species for comparative genetic analysis.

Parallels between experimental and natural evolution of legume symbionts

This study compares natural and experimental evolution of legume symbionts, finding similar patterns of purifying selection and adaptation through quorum-sensing systems.
