Sacharow J., Rosado-Porto D., Quiroga S., Ratering S., Geißler-Plaum R., Schneider B., Schnell S. (2025). Plant developmental stage, rather than inoculation with Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus, determines the composition of the bacterial, fungal, and protist microbiome in winter wheat. Rhizosphere, 36(), 101210. doi:10.1016/j.rhisph.2025.101210

Rekowski A., Wimmer M., Quiroga S., Rosado-Porto D., Ratering S., Schnell S., Zörb C. (2025). Seed Inoculation with Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus and Wide Row Spacing: Starch and Protein Properties of Malting Barley Grains. Organic Agriculture, 15(4), 635-650. doi:10.1007/s13165-025-00520-w

Abstract The organic cultivation of spring barley is becoming increasingly popular, but the prohibition of herbicides and the reduction in mineral fertilizer use pose challenges in achieving optimal yield and quality. While the use of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been suggested …

Quiroga, S., Ratering, S., David Rosado-Porto, D., Rekowski, A., Schulz, F., Zörb, C., Schnell, S. (2025). Seed inoculation of Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus does not alter the rhizosphere bacterial microbiome of wheat and barley in a three-year field trial. Applied Soil Ecology, 206(), . doi:0.1016/j.apsoil.2024.10582

he effects of plant growth promoting bacteria used for inoculation on native microorganisms remain unexplored under field conditions and, to a lesser extent, in longitudinal studies using different crops. This study, spanning three seasons across two organic fields, examined through 16S rRNA gene se…

Quiroga S., Rosado-Porto D., Ratering S., Rekowski A., Schulz F., Krutych M., Zörb C., Schnell S. (2024.0). Long-term detection of Hartmannibacter diazotrophicus on winter wheat and spring barley roots under field conditions revealed positive correlations on yield parameters with the bacterium abundance. FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 100(3), . doi:10.1093/femsec/fiae023

Monitoring of bioinoculants once released into the field remains largely unexplored; thus, more information is required about their survival and interactions after root colonization. Therefore, specific primers were used to perform a long-term tracking to elucidate the effect of Hartmannibacter diaz…
