Enhancing agroecosystem nitrogen management: microbial insights for improved nitrification inhibition
Trends Microbiol. 2023 Nov 14:S0966-842X(23)00298-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNitrification is a key microbial process in the nitrogen (N) cycle that converts ammonia to nitrate. Excessive nitrification, typically occurring in agroecosystems, has negative environmental impacts, including eutrophication and greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) are widely used to manage N in agricultural systems by reducing nitrification rates and improving N use efficiency. However, the effectiveness of NIs can vary depending on the soil conditions, which, in turn, affect the microbia...

Bacteria manipulate host cells with channel-forming effectors
Trends Microbiol. 2023 Nov 10:S0966-842X(23)00302-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBacterial pathogens deliver effectors into host cells mostly to manipulate signaling and metabolic molecules, thereby subverting host immunity. A recent study by Nomura et al. demonstrates that certain effectors create membrane channels in host cells, enabling bacteria to access water and solutes for multiplication.PMID:37953153 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.013 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)
