Understanding the soil microbiology in function of soil resistance and resilience Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Chitin mixed in potting soil alters lettuce growth, the survival of zoonotic bacteria on the leaves and associated rhizosphere microbiology Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent
Chitin is a promising soil amendment for improving soil quality, plant growth, and plant resilience. The objectives of this study were twofold. First, to study the effect of chitin mixed in potting soil on lettuce growth and on the survival of two zoonotic bacterial pathogens, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica on the lettuce leaves. Second, to assess the related changes in the microbial lettuce rhizosphere, using phospholipid ...
Effect of organic and conventional farming on soil microbiology in Java, Indonesia Universiteit Gent
The effect of biochar on plant pathogens and rhizosphere microbiology Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The microbiology of Power-to-X applications Universiteit Gent
Power-to-X (P2X) technologies will play a more important role in the conversion of electric power to storable energy carriers, commodity chemicals and even food and feed. Among the different P2X technologies, microbial components form cornerstones of individual process steps. This review comprehensively presents the state-of-the-art of different P2X technologies from a microbiological standpoint. We are focusing on microbial conversions of ...
Plant species identity and soil characteristics determine rhizosphere soil bacteria community composition in European temperate forests Universiteit Gent
Critical use of methyl bromide for soil disinfestation in Belgium during 2005 Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
During 2005, Belgium enforced a strict procedure for the assignment of critical-use permits for methyl bromide (MeBr) as a soil disinfestant. This procedure involved an inspection of the site before disinfestation by a representative of a registered institute, and a mandatory demonstration of the presence of a pest or disease for which a critical use permit could be granted according to the Critical Use Nominations (CUNs). The procedure was ...
Effects of synthetic fertilizer and farm compost on soil nematode community in long-term crop rotation plots: A morphological and metabarcoding approach Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent
Soil biodiversity plays a key regulation role in the ecosystem services that underpin regenerative sustainable agriculture. It can be impacted by agricultural management techniques, both positively (through measures such as compost application) and negatively (through, for example, application of synthetic nitrogen). As one of the most numerous members of the soil biota, nematodes are well established as indicators for the soil food web. ...
Global radiation in a rare biosphere soil diatom Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Soil micro-organisms drive the global carbon and nutrient cycles that underlie essential ecosystem functions. Yet, we are only beginning to grasp the drivers of terrestrial microbial diversity and biogeography, which presents a substantial barrier to understanding community dynamics and ecosystem functioning. This is especially true for soil protists, which despite their functional significance have received comparatively less interest than ...
