Raw cat food risks: health hazards for pets and families today
Summary: raw cat food risks highlighted by new research A new analysis of commercial raw cat foods — including products sold at room temperature and online — raises concerns about health risks to cats and the people who care for them. The study, published in Communications Biology, detected disease-causing microbes, some resistant to antibiotics, in…

Salt Stress and the Wild Soybean Microbiome: Rhizosphere vs. Surrounding Environment
Introduction: Why study salt stress and the soybean microbiome? Salt stress dramatically alters plant performance and microbial communities. In a controlled hydroponic system using Hoagland’s solution, researchers can isolate the direct effects of NaCl concentration on the rhizosphere (root-associated) and the surrounding water environment of wild soybean (Glycine soja) without the confounding variables of soil.…

Salt Stress Shapes Rhizosphere and Environmental Bacterial Communities in Wild Soybean (Glycine soja)
Introduction Wild soybean (Glycine soja) growing in coastal saline habitats relies on a complex microbiome to cope with salt stress. This study uses a hydroponic system with Hoagland’s solution to precisely control NaCl concentrations and to clearly separate rhizosphere bacteria from those in the surrounding water environment. By comparing a control (CK) with low (LT),…

Salt Stress Shifts Wild Soybean Rhizosphere Microbiome: A Comparative Study
Introduction and study design Understanding how salinity affects plant-associated microbial communities is essential for unraveling plant resilience mechanisms. This study used a controlled hydroponic system with Hoagland’s nutrient solution to isolate the effects of salt (NaCl) on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of wild soybean (Glycine soja) and its surrounding water environment. Four treatments were…
