Rhizosphere is a textbook for microbial N cycle

Minamisawa, Kiwamu Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University The term “rhizosphere” was first coined in 1904 by Lorenz Hiltner in Germany, who had a special interest in N transformations around leguminous nodules in fields. Our group has revealed active N transformation incl

Novel transferable multi-drug resistance plasmid and macrolide resistance genes from Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae isolated from seawater of an aquaculture site

Lisa, Nonaka Dokkyo Medical University, School of Medicine The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria in aquaculture environments is a problem in terms of fish production and human public health. The transferability of drug resistance genes is thought to be responsible for the wide diss

Regulation of N2O reductase genes by the two-component system NasST in Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens

Sanchez, Cristina Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University, Japan The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is emitted from soybean rhizosphere through the degradation of the root nodules at the late growth period. Soybean hosts endosymbiotic N2-fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia)
