Plant MicrobiologyPriming of Plant Growth Promotion by Volatiles of Root-Associated Microbacterium spp.In the past decade, various studies have described the effects of microbial volatiles on other (micro)organisms in vitro, but their broad-spectrum activity in vivo and the mechanisms underlying volatile-mediated plant growth promotion have not been addressed in detail. Here, we revealed that volatiles from root-associated bacteria of the genus ...
Food MicrobiologyDynamics and Biodiversity of Bacterial and Yeast Communities during Fermentation of Cocoa BeansIn spite of the limited effectiveness of the considered inoculated starter strains, this study provides new information on the microbial development of box and heap cocoa fermentations, under inoculated and noninoculated conditions, as we coupled yeast/bacterial amplicon-based sequencing data with microbial metabolite detection. The information so far available suggests that microbial communities have played an important role in the...
