Co-inoculation maintains yields and lowers N2O emission by affecting rhizosphere bacterial diversity in common bean grown on a C-rich clayey Ferralsol by Pablo Schulman, Marcia Thais de Melo Carvalho, Raquel Neves de Mello, Beata Emoke Madari, Pedro Luiz Oliveira de Almeida Machado, Enderson Petronio de Brito Ferreira, Tatiana Maris Ferraresi, Tereza Cristina de Oliveira Borba, Rodrigo Mendes, Edson Hirose, Wilker Alves de Araujo, Matheus Mentone de Britto Siqueira, Ryan Rodrigues da Silva, Pedro Augusto de Oliveira Morais

“…A trial was established within a 20-year-old integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) over the 2019/2020 (Y1) and 2021/2022 (Y2) crop years. Soil and plant variables were assessed throughout both years. N2O–N fluxes were measured using manual static chambers targeting days following co-inoculation and N fertilization applications, while the 16S rRNA microbiome composition was assessed by metabarcoding samples collected during flowering. …”

IgG3 enhances neutralization potency and Fc effector function of an HIV V2-specific broadly neutralizing antibody. by Simone I Richardson, Bronwen E Lambson, Andrew R Crowley, Arman Bashirova, Cathrine Scheepers, Nigel Garrett, Salim Abdool Karim, Nonhlanhla N Mkhize, Mary Carrington, Margaret E Ackerman, Penny L Moore, Lynn Morris

“…By exchanging hinge regions between subclass variants, we showed that hinge length modulated both neutralization potency and Fc function. This study showed that co-operation between the variable and natural IgG3 constant regions enhanced the polyfunctionality of antibodies, indicating the value of leveraging genetic variation which could be exploited for passive immunity.…”
