Cardinium is an endosymbiotic bacterium known as a reproductive manipulator in terrestrial ecosystem arthropods. Although host species have been identified recent studies, its prevalence relatively low, perhaps due to the investigation of fewer taxonomic groups. This study was aimed investigate bacteria micro-fauna samples granaries Turkey, which has suitable conditions for distribution For thi...

The material for this study was obtained after intensive sampling in the colluvial mesovoid shallow substratum, or MSS, of Sierra de Guadarrama National Park using 33 subterranean devices (SSD). data were from first extraction traps between May and October 2015. This paper presents results Entomobryomorpha Börner, 1913, which part Collembola captured. Four families 12 genera have been studied: ...

Soil mesofauna play an essential role in soil functioning. However, studies on the impact of agricultural management quality, overall abundance and specific groups thereof has not been widely used as indicator developing countries. Here, we a quality compared to more traditional chemical, physical, microbial indicators, comparison three diverse systems Central Cuba: state (CSt), conventional pr...

We present here the draft genome of Bacillus toyonensis VU-DES13, which was isolated from the midgut of the soil-living springtail Folsomia candida Previous research revealed the presence of gene clusters for the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites, including β-lactam antibiotics, in the host's genome. The genome data are discussed in the light of the antimicrobial properties against ...

Microarthropods are often found more abundantly in soils with earthworms than in soils without. Earthworms probably create a favourable environment for microarthropods but few studies have aimed to explain this earthworm effect. The soil collembolan (Hexapoda) Heteromurus nitidus, living in soils at pH > 5 only and thus rich in earthworms, is particularly attracted by earthworms in humus cores....
