    DISSERTATION IMPLEMENTING ORGANIC AMENDMENTS TO ENHANCE MAIZE YIELD, SOIL MOISTURE, AND MICROBIAL NUTRIENT CYCLING IN TEMPERATE AGRICULTURE Submitted by Erika J. Foster Graduate Degree Program in Ecology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2018 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: M. Francesca Cotrufo Louise Comas Charles Rhoades Matthew D. Wallenstein Copyright by Erika J. Foster 2018 All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT IMPLEMENTING ORGANIC AMENDMENTS TO ENHANCE MAIZE YIELD, SOIL MOISTURE, AND MICROBIAL NUTRIENT CYCLING IN TEMPERATE AGRICULTURE To sustain agricultural production into the future, management should enhance natural biogeochemical cycling within the soil. Strategies to increase yield while reducing chemical fertilizer inputs and irrigation require robust research and development before widespread implementation. Current innovations in crop production use amendments such as manure and biochar charcoal to increase soil organic matter and improve soil structure, water, and nutrient content. Organic amendments also provide substrate and habitat for soil microorganisms that can play a key role cycling nutrients, improving nutrient availability for crops. Additional plant growth promoting bacteria can be incorporated into the soil as inocula to enhance soil nutrient cycling through mechanisms like phosphorus solubilization. Since microbial inoculation is highly effective under drought conditions, this technique pairs well in agricultural systems using limited irrigation to save water, particularly in semi-arid regions where climate change and population growth exacerbate water scarcity. The research in this dissertation examines synergistic techniques to reduce irrigation inputs, while building soil organic matter, and promoting natural microbial function to increase crop available nutrients. The research was conducted on conventional irrigated maize systems at the Agricultural Research Development and Education Center north of Fort Collins, CO.

    Jag et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2017) 12:30 DOI 10.1186/s40793-017-0244-4 SHORT GENOME REPORT Open Access Genome sequencing and description of Oerskovia enterophila VJag, an agar- and cellulose-degrading bacterium Vanessa Jag1*† , Anja Poehlein2†, Frank R. Bengelsdorf1, Rolf Daniel2 and Peter Dürre1 Abstract A nonmotile, Gram-positive bacterium that shows an elongated and branching cell shape was isolated from soil samples from the botanical garden of Ulm University, Ulm, Germany. Here, the isolation procedure, identification, genome sequencing and metabolic features of the strain are described. Phylogenetic analysis allowed to identify the isolated strain as Oerskovia enterophila. The genus Oerskovia belongs to the family Cellulomonadaceae within the order Actinomycetales. The length of cells of O. enterophila ranges from 1 μmto15μm, depending on the growth phase. In the exponential growth phase, cells show an elongated and branching shape, whereas cells break up to round or coccoid elements in the stationary growth phase. The 4,535,074 bp long genome consists of 85 contigs with 3918 protein-coding genes and 57 RNA genes. The isolated strain was shown to degrade numerous complex carbon sources such as cellulose, chitin, and starch, which can be found ubiquitously in nature. Moreover, analysis of the genomic sequence revealed the genetic potential to degrade these compounds.

Abstract: The complex smear microbiota colonizing the surface of red-smear cheese fundamentally impacts the ripening process, appearance and shelf life of cheese. To decipher the prokaryotic composition of the cheese smear microbiome, the surface of a semi-hard surface ripened cheese was studied post-ripening by culture-based and culture-independent molecular approaches. The aim was to detect potential bacterial alterations in the composition of the cheese smear microbiota resulting from cheese storage in vacuum film-prepackaging, which is often accompanied by the development of a surface smear defect. Next-generation sequencing of amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments revealed an unexpected high diversity of a total of 132 different genera from the domains Bacteria and Archaea on the cheese surface. Beside typical smear organisms, our study revealed the presence of several microorganisms so far not associated with cheese, but related to milk, farm and cheese dairy environments.

    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2009), 59, 1599–1602 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.006197-0 Promicromonospora flava sp. nov., isolated from sediment of the Baltic Sea Yi Jiang,1,2 Jutta Wiese,1 Yan-Ru Cao,2 Li-Hua Xu,2 Johannes F. Imhoff1 and Cheng-Lin Jiang2 Correspondence 1Leibniz-Institut fu¨r Meereswissenschaften, IFM-GEOMAR, Du¨sternbrooker Weg 20, D-24105 Kiel, Cheng-Lin Jiang Germany [email protected] 2Yunnan Institute of Microbiology, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, PR China Johannes F. Imhoff [email protected] A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinomycete, designated strain CC 0387T, was isolated from a sediment sample from the Baltic Sea, Germany. Classification using a polyphasic approach and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain CC 0387T belonged to the genus Promicromonospora and displayed more than 3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence from all Promicromonospora species with validly published names. Strain CC 0387T did not produce aerial mycelium. Substrate mycelia were yellowish white to pale orange-yellow and fragmented into bacillary or coccoid elements. The cell wall contained lysine and alanine. Whole- cell hydrolysates contained galactose, glucose, rhamnose and ribose. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown phospholipid and an unknown glycolipid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4) (86 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 71.87 mol%. Based on morphological, chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genetic characteristics, strain CC 0387T (5CCTCC AA208024T5DSM 21481T) represents a novel species, for which the name Promicromonospora flava sp. nov. is proposed. The genus Promicromonospora was proposed by bacteria and fungi, after incubation at 28 uC for 21 days.
