AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
We used time-resolved metabolic footprinting, an important technical approach used to monitor changes in extracellular compound concentrations during microbial growth, to study the order of substrate utilization (i.e., substrate preferences) and kinetics of a fast-growing soil isolate, Parabu...
Plant terrestrialization necessitated overcoming a barrage of stressors. Embryophytes (land plants) use an integrated response network to adjust their molecular physiology in response to terrestrial stressors—one of the important stressors is UV irradiance. The zygnematophytes are the closest str...
