The effects of Bradyrhizobium inoculation on soybean growth and productivity are well known, but plant responses to consortia of other beneficial microbes and microbial molecules have not yet been well explored. Therefore, ...

Bacteria colonizing the rhizosphere of plants (=rhizobacteria) play different ecological roles in their natural environment. Some are deleterious to plant growth and health, while many others are beneficial and act as both ...

Biodiesel is a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from either vegetable oils or animal fats. Although biodiesel biodegrades faster than diesel fuel, the impacts of this biofuel in environment throughout its ...

Heavy metals concentrations in the environment increases alarmingly. Heavy metals profoundly affect biological systems either positively because they are essential in low concentrations or negatively because they are toxic. ...

Traditionally, the screening of metabolites in microbial matrices is performed by monocultures. Nonetheless, the absence of biotic and abiotic interactions generally observed in nature still limit the chemical diversity ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. As with other cancers, CRC is a multifactorial disease due to the combined effect of genetic and environmental factors. Most cases are sporadic, but a ...
