Nutrient acquisition, rather than stress response over diel cycles, drives microbial transcription in a hyper-arid Namib Desert soil

Leon-Sobrino, Carlos; Ramond, Jean-Baptiste; Maggs-Kölling, Gillian; Cowan, Don A. (Frontiers Media, 2019-05-14)

Hot desert surface soils are characterized by extremely low water activities for large parts of any annual cycle. It is widely assumed that microbial processes in such soils are very limited. Here we present the first ...
Rhizosheath microbial community assembly of sympatric desert speargrasses is independent of the plant host

Background The rhizosheath-root system is an adaptive trait of sandy-desert speargrasses in response to unfavourable moisture and nutritional conditions. Under the deserts’ polyextreme conditions, plants interact with ...
