Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Photosynthetic organisms (e.g., algae and plants) play an important role in the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. They share their habitat with a variety of microbes that include bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, and archaea. The composition of the photosynthetic organism microbiota is shaped by complex multilateral interactions between the abiotic environment and its biotic inhabitants. Understanding the microbial composition and functioning is very important. However, little is known about the microbial diversity associated with algae and plants. As Guest Editor for a Special Issue entitled "Microbial Diversity Associated with Photosynthetic Organisms" to be published in the journal Diversity, I invite you to submit research articles, reviews, or short communications. This Special Issue provides an opportunity to improve the current knowledge about microbial diversity associated with algae and plants. Moreover, this Special Issue will be also a good platform to discuss new approaches for monitoring microbial diversity.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diversity is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

There is a lack of studies on the root-associated bacterial microbiome of cassava plants. The identification and characterization of rhizobacteria can contribute to understanding the adaptation of the agriculturally important crop plants to abiotic stress. Rhizobacteria play a significant role in plants, as they can alleviate the drought stress by various mechanisms that enhance the plant growth under these stressor conditions. In this study, Gram-negative bacterial strains from the plant rhizosphere of cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz CIAT MCOL1734 variety subjected to water deprivation were isolated, characterized according to their morphological properties, and then identified by VITEK® 2. An increase in the diversity, abundance, and species richness of Gram-negative rhizobacterial community was found in cassava plants subjected to water-deficit stress. In total, 58 rhizobacterial strains were isolated from cassava plants. The identification process found that the bacteria belonged to 12 genera: Achromobacter, Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Buttiauxella, Cronobacter, Klebsiella, Ochrobactrum, Pluralibacter, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Serratia, and Sphingomonas. Interestingly, Pseudomonas luteola and Ocrhobactrum anthropi were rhizobacteria isolated exclusively from plants submitted to drought conditions. The cassava roots constitute a great reservoir of Gram-negative bacteria with a remarkable potential for biotechnological application to improve the drought tolerance of plant crops under water-deficit conditions.

Jejubacter calystegiae KSNA2T, a moderately halophilic, endophytic bacterium isolated from beach morning glory (Calystegia soldanella), was determined to be a novel species in a new genus in the family Enterobacteriaceae. To gain insights into the genetic basis of the salinity stress response of strain KSNA2T, we sequenced its genome using two complementary sequencing platforms (Illumina HiSeq and PacBio RSII). The genome contains a repertoire of metabolic pathways, such as those for nitrogen, phosphorus, and some amino acid metabolism pathways. Functional annotation of the KSNA2T genome revealed several genes involved in salt tolerance pathways, such as those encoding sodium transporters, potassium transporters, and osmoprotectant enzymes. Plant growth-promoting bacteria-based experiments indicated that strain KSNA2T promotes the germination of vegetable seeds in saline conditions. Overall, the genetic and biological analyses of strain KSNA2T provide valuable insights into bacteria-mediated salt tolerance in agriculture. Full article
