Novel insights into the genome organization of Rhizobiaceae: identification of linear plasmids Members of the family Rhizobiaceae typically have multipartite genomes that are split between two or more replicons, including the chromosome and a variable number of extrachromosomal replicons (chrom...

In this recent study by my colleague Nemanja Kuzmanovic @jki-research.bsky.social we revealed the extraordinary genome plasticity of Rhizobiaceae members - a family comprising both nonpathogenic and pathogenic strains: www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Hope to meet you at poster 138. In case you can't wait, here is the related publication: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Glad to join for the first time the Plant Microbiome Symposium #PMS2025. Looking forward to a week full of interesting talks and inspiring discussions. I will present a poster on Thursday about synergistic effects between resident microbes and inoculants for improved maize performance under drought.

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to teach in the framework of a postgraduate course about all facets of the rhizosphere microbiome and how to utilize it for a more sustainable agriculture. Thanks to my colleague Dr. Gabriela Fernandez-Gnecco for organizing the course and involving me! 🇦🇷

📢 IT'S A NEW ISSUE OF SOIL ORGANISMS 🤩

In the August issue of S.O. articles on #collembola, effects of #urbanization & the chapter on #soilbiodiversity in the Faktencheck Artenvielfalt, the German report on biodiversity, are highlighted.

Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants differently modulate apple rhizosphere microbiomes and plant responses Catch crop amendments and microbial inoculants induce distinct alterations in the rhizosphere and soil microbiome of apple grown under replanting condition

Congratulations to our Phd student Kristin Hauschild to her first-author-paper no.3 🥳 Here we tested whether different soil amendment strategies (catch crops, microbial inoculants) can improve apple plant performance in replant disease-affected soil.

What a pleasure presenting the final results of a two years inoculation field experiment at IOBC-WPRS Biocontrol meeting in Turin today - sampling&analysis was a lot of work, but with many great people and the results paid off. The study will soon be published (proof loading). Stay tuned 😉

Inoculation with a microbial consortium mitigates early drought in maize under field conditions. Finally published: rdcu.be/eo0iU
Great collaboration within the DiControl project of @jonkampouris.bsky.social @doreenbabin.bsky.social @igzleibniz.bsky.social @jki-research.bsky.social and many more

Thanks for the advertisement! We are glad that our field inoculation study within the DiControl project finally got published @jonkampouris.bsky.social

Full of ideas after a productive retreat with @jki-research.bsky.social EP colleagues in the idyllic place Dresden-Pillnitz. Thanks to JKI-ZO colleagues for hosting us! @drhheuer.bsky.social

Recent publication from the lab. Great collaboration between @jki-research.bsky.social and INIA Uruguay

Teaser: inoculated wheat after wheat performs similarly good as wheat after rapeseed. If you want to know more, pass by at the poster session this afternoon 👇🏻

Final piece of our DFG project published. Great collaboration between JKI and TU Dresden @agmicro-lab.bsky.social @jhtzethof.bsky.social

This year I am presenting in #VAAM 2025 a piece of my work as a postdoc in @agmicro-lab.bsky.social led by @doreenbabin.bsky.social, with a focus on drought stress and interactions of inoculated plant-BMs with the resident rhizosphere microbiome.
