It was found that the phosphorus (P) and nitrogen uptake in wheat shoots were significantly greater for a low application rate of BMCs (100 kg ha−1). The present formulation of BMC was effective in enhancing growth of wheat at low application rate (100 kg ha−1). The increase in growth appeared due to an increase in P uptake in the plants that could be partly attributed to an increase in mycorrhizal colonisation and partly due to the properties of the BMC.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:06 AEDT ]]> Chemolithotrophic processes in the bacterial communities on the surface of mineral-enriched biochars https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33882 Thiobacillus and a novel group within the Oxalbacteraceae were enriched only on the MEBs and they had the genetic capacity for thiosulfate oxidation. All three surface-enriched bacteria also had the capacity to fix carbon dioxide, either in a potentially strictly autotrophic or mixotrophic manner. Our results show the dominance of chemolithotrophic processes on the surface of biochar and MEB that can contribute to carbon sequestration in soil.]]> Mon 21 Jan 2019 15:50:56 AEDT ]]>
