1. Indirect method: change the environment

2. Direct method: change the community 1. Indirect method: change the environment

• Add a ”food” source for microbes: carbon • Compost • Plant material – cover crops • Develop soil organic matter (SOM)

• Disturb the soil less often

• Keep roots within the soil

- SL Strauss 1. Indirect method: change the environment Benefits • Encourage native microbes to grow – likely beneficial microbes already in soil!

• Increase soil microbial diversity: • Increase nutrient cycling • More competition for resources

Difficulties • Soil organic matter (SOM) is very low in Florida

• Increasing SOM takes TIME – results may not occur after only 1 year

• Native soil microbial community not well characterized – and likely unique for each location 1. Indirect method: change the environment

• Greenhouse trial of HLB-affected and non-affected trees

• 3 soil amendments: • Field soil • Field soil + compost (5% v/v) • Field soil + biochar (3% v/v)

• 2 irrigation rates: • 100% evapotranspiration (ET) • 75% ET

• 1.5 year experiment

MICROBIOME The Placenta Harbors a Unique Microbiome Kjersti Aagaard,1,2,3*JunMa,1,2 Kathleen M. Antony,1 Radhika Ganu,1 Joseph Petrosino,4 James Versalovic5

Humans and their microbiomes have coevolved as a physiologic community composed of distinct body site niches with metabolic and antigenic diversity. The placental microbiome has not been robustly interrogated, despite recent demonstrations of intracellular bacteria with diverse metabolic and immune regulatory functions. A population-basedImmunity cohort of placental specimens collected under sterile conditions from 320 subjects with ex- tensive clinical data was established for comparative 16S ribosomal DNA–based and whole-genome shotgun (WGS)Review metagenomic studies. Identified taxa and their gene carriage patterns were compared to other human body site niches, including the oral, skin, airway (nasal), vaginal, and gut microbiomes from nonpregnant controls. We characterized a unique placental microbiome niche, composed of nonpathogenic commensal micro- biota from the , Tenericutes, , , and phyla. In aggregate, the placentalInflammatory microbiome profiles wereBowel most akin Disease (Bray-Curtis dissimilarity <0.3) to the human oral microbiome. 16S- based operational taxonomic unit analyses revealed associations of the placental microbiome with a remote

• Specific Bacillus sp. may increase plant growth

Difficulties • Beneficial taxa can be very crop and/or environment specific

• Unknown how introduced organisms will interact with native organisms

• Unknown what conditions are necessary to keep introduced organisms alive and increasing in number 2. Direct method: change the community • Apply biostimulants to mature trees in two commercial groves:
