Impact of Farming System on Soil Microbial Communities Associated with Common Bean in a Region of Northern Spain by Marta Suarez-Fernandez, Juan Jose Ferreira, Ana Campa

“…This classification allowed the establishment of a core microbial community associated with the common bean crop, comprising 594 prokaryotic OTUs classified into 11 phyla, and 256 fungal OTUs classified into 11 phyla. Functional analyses indicated that organic farming promoted a broader range of prokaryotic functions related to nitrogen metabolism, stronger positive interactions between fungi and bacteria, a higher abundance of beneficial microorganisms, such as biocontrol fungi and mycorrhizae, and greater overall microbial stability. …”

Exploring the Link Between Periodontitis and Alzheimer’s Disease—Could a Nanoparticulate Vaccine Break It? by André Ferreira da Silva, Alexandra Gomes, Lídia M. D. Gonçalves, Adelaide Fernandes, António J. Almeida

“…Recent studies provide growing evidence of an infectious aetiology for AD, a hypothesis reinforced by findings that amyloid beta functions as an antimicrobial peptide. Among the microorganisms already associated with AD, <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> (<i>Pg</i>), the keystone pathogen of periodontitis (PeD), has received particular attention as a possible aetiological agent for AD development. …”
