Desert truffle mycorrhizosphere harbors organic acid releasing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, essentially during the truffle fruiting season

Francisco Arenas et al.

Summary: This study investigated the seasonal variation in the bacterial community associated with desert truffle plants and found that summer was the period with the lowest microbial diversity and PGPR functions, while spring was the most active period. The findings are important for further understanding the potential role of desert truffle plants in symbiosis with bacteria and for possible management strategies.

RefSeq: expanding the Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline reach with protein family model curation

Wenjun Li et al.

Summary: The RefSeq project at NCBI contains a vast number of bacterial and archaeal genomes and proteins, with a focus on reducing spurious annotation through the use of expanded protein family models. The Protein Family Models Entrez database provides users with access to the PFMs, supporting multi-genome analyses and connections to the literature. The reference and representative genome set of prokaryotic genomes within RefSeq is regularly recalculated and available for download and BLAST searches.
