Many beneficial and pathogenic rhizobacteria are both well described and characterized in literature. We know who they are and what they do. However, we don't know why and how they evolve pathogenic or beneficial traits. Viruses infecting bacteria (phages) modulate host niche adaptation. Genomic evidences demonstrate that prophages contribute to the evolution of virulence. Most of the t…
Next Generation Technologies on DNA sequencing provide new approaches on environmental microbiology enabling us to launch new experiments to understand crucial issues such as sustainable production on agroecosystems. Currently, an international partnership between Brazil and Holland has been established by FAPESP and The BE-Basic Foundation (FAPESP/BE-BASIC 2011/51749-6) to prospect funct…
Phages, the viruses of bacteria, are capable of establishing either antagonistic or mutualistic interactions with their hosts. Evidence so far clearly demonstrates the importance of phages for microbiome functioning. However little is known about how phage-bacteria interactions at the community-level respond to environmental changes. Environmental disturbances can change microbial communi…
Braga et al.33 (FAPESP 2013/22845-2) have recently demonstrated the impact of earthworms on the taxonomic profile of the microbial community in sugarcane rhizosphere. Bacterial growth was stimulated, and Alphaproteobacteria, Opitutae, Bacilli, Methanopyri, Thermomicrobia, and Betaproteobacteria responded to the occurrence of earthworms. Earthworms may be beneficial to plants. However, to …
