The ecological coherence of high bacterial taxonomic ranks

In this Opinion article, Laurent Philippot and colleagues argue that bacterial taxonomic ranks higher than species, such as the phylum, can show ecological coherence, and they discuss the implications of this coherence for bacterial taxonomy, evolution and ecology.

Going back to the roots: the microbial ecology of the rhizosphere

The rhizosphere – the interface between plant roots and soil – is an intriguingly complex and dynamic niche. Laurent Philippot and colleagues review recent progress in rhizosphere research and suggest that going back to the roots could be crucial to further improve the sustainability of crop production.

Autoantibodies against type I IFNs in humans with alternative NF-κB pathway deficiency

Inborn errors of the alternative NF-κB pathway in humans impair the development of AIRE-expressing medullary thymic epithelial cells, thereby underlying the production of autoantibodies against type I IFNs and predisposition to viral diseases

A highly conserved core bacterial microbiota with nitrogen-fixation capacity inhabits the xylem sap in maize plants

The plant xylem microbiota remains understudied. Here, the authors characterise the xylem microbiota in maize plants finding that some bacteria carried N fixing genes. By using synthetic communities the authors confirm that xylem inhabiting and N fixing bacteria provide the host plant with N.

The interplay between microbial communities and soil properties

In this Review, Philippot et al. explore how soil microorganisms can affect the physical and chemical properties of soil and discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these microbially driven shifts in soil properties. They also explore how microbially mediated changes in soil properties can be used to combat threats to soil health and other environmental challenges.

Biotic homogenization, lower soil fungal diversity and fewer rare taxa in arable soils across Europe

How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography is poorly understood. Here, the authors find that prevalent fungal groups become more abundant, whereas rare groups become fewer or absent in arable lands across Europe, suggesting a biotic homogenization due to arable farming.

Recently identified microbial guild mediates soil N₂O sink capacity

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a greenhouse gas and an important ozone-depleting substance. Microbial nitrogen cycling in agricultural soils is a major source of atmospheric N₂O. Now, research shows that the capacity of soils to take up N₂O is mostly explained by the abundance and diversity of a newly described N₂O-reducing microbial group.

Agricultural management and pesticide use reduce the functioning of beneficial plant symbionts

Combining field data and greenhouse experiments, the authors show how agricultural management practices like fungicide applications can affect the degree to which arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soil provision phosphorus to plants.

Crop cover is more important than rotational diversity for soil multifunctionality and cereal yields in European cropping systems

System-level analysis on the effects of soil biodiversity on cropping system is lacking. Across conventionally managed European fields, the proportion of time with crop cover during the past ten-year rotation has a greater impact than crop diversity on soil microbial diversity, soil multifunctionality and crop yield.
