Metagenomics analysis of the effects of Agaricus bisporus mycelia on microbial diversity and CAZymes in compost
"This article is very useful for a large no. of researchers."
Ravinder Kumar, Handling Editor
Multi-omics analyses reveal that the gut microbiome and its metabolites promote milk fat synthesis in Zhongdian yak cows
"The muti-omics approaches to the gut microbiome and its metabolite are important in understanding the milk fat synthesis in cows"
R Z Sayyed, Handling Editor
Dynamic analysis of the microbial communities and metabolome of healthy banana rhizosphere soil during one growth cycle
"The significant findings of this article about the weak competitive interaction of soil microbial community and metabolism in the Rhizosphere of Bananas are pretty promising for understanding the features of soil microbiome associated with Bananas."
Humaira Yasmin, Handling Editor
Herbivore camping reshapes the taxonomy, function and network of pasture soil microbial communities
"The manuscript describes that how the movement of one species influences the ecological balance of other species. The way of microbe-soil balance alteration, described in manuscript, may give idea about the transmission of many microbe borne diseases in various geographical areas too. The ecologists can use this article for performing similar studies with other species and ecological aspects."
Mahendra Tomar, Handling Editor
Terrien, a metabolite made by Aspergillus terreus, has activity against Cryptococcus neoformans

Dynamics of the gut microbiota in rats after hypobaric hypoxia exposure
"This article can shed new insight into microbiomes."
Arindam Mitra, Handling Editor
Nitrate enrichment does not affect enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in aquatic microcosms but may affect other strains present in aquatic habitats
"The study provides new insights on the factors which modulate the occurrence of pathogens in surface waters."
Jörg Oehlmann, Handling Editor
Estuarine microbial networks and relationships vary between environmentally distinct communities
"Network analysis was used to show that seasonal changes in the composition of microbial communities also resulted in changes in the types of associations between prokaryotes and protists in an estuary. The study will become valuable for future long-term studies that need to distinguish long-term changes/shifts (e.g., due to climate change) vs. seasonal ones regularly occurring throughout the year."
Craig Moyer, Handling Editor
Assembling microbial communities: a genomic analysis of a natural experiment in neotropical bamboo internodes
"This article describes an interesting approach to study bacterial ecology from a sterile to non-sterile environment over a period of time, in an almost uniform climatic condition."
Zarrin Basharat, Handling Editor
Evolution of Helicobacter spp: variability of virulence factors and their relationship to pathogenicity
"This research sheds light on the evolutionary history of the Helicobacter group of bacteria."
