Rare species are increasingly recognized as crucial, yet vulnerable components of Earth's ecosystems. This is also true for microbial communities, which typically composed a high number relatively rare species. Recent studies have demonstrated that can an over-proportional role in biogeochemical cycles and may be hidden driver microbiome function. In this review, we provide ecological overview the biosphere, including causes rarity impacts on ecosystem functioning. We discuss how...

Abstract Host-associated bacterial communities can function as an important line of defence against pathogens in animals and plants. Empirical evidence theoretical predictions suggest that species-rich are more resistant to pathogen invasions. Yet, the underlying mechanisms unclear. Here, we experimentally test how resource competition networks resident affect invasion resistance plant Ralstonia solanacearum microcosms tomato rhizosphere. We find bipartite better predictors compared with...

Composting is an efficient way to convert organic waste into fertilizers. However, materials often contain large amounts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can reduce the efficacy treatments when transmitted humans. Because conventional composting fails remove these compounds, we evaluated if hyperthermophilic with elevated temperature more at removing ARGs MGEs explored underlying mechanisms ARG removal two methods. We found removed efficiently...

Bacterial communities associated with plant roots play an important role in the suppression of soil-borne pathogens, and multispecies probiotic consortia may enhance disease efficacy. Here we introduced defined Pseudomonas species into naturally complex microbial measured importance community diversity for their survival bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum tomato rhizosphere microbiome. The increased increasing diversity. Further, high reduced density decreased incidence due to both...

Abstract Background Plant health is intimately influenced by the rhizosphere microbiome, a complex assembly of organisms that changes markedly across plant growth. However, most microbiome research has focused on fractions this particularly bacteria and fungi. It remains unknown how other microbial components, especially key predators—protists—are linked to health. Here, we investigated holistic including bacteria, eukaryotes (fungi protists), as well functional metabolism genes. We these...

<h2>Abstract</h2> Terrestrial plants can affect the growth and health of adjacent via interspecific interaction. Here, we studied mechanism by which plant root exudates recruitment rhizosphere microbiome in plants—with implications for protection—using a tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>)–potatoonion (<i>Allium cepa</i> var. <i>agrogatum</i>) intercropping system. First, showed that system results disease-suppressive protects against <i>Verticillium</i> wilt disease caused soilborne...

The development of strategies for effectively manipulating and engineering beneficial plant-associated microbiomes is a major challenge in microbial ecology. In this sense, the efficacy potential implications rhizosphere microbiome transplant (RMT) plant disease management have only scarcely been explored literature. Here, we initially investigated differences 12 Solanaceae eggplant varieties accessed their level resistance promoted against bacterial wilt caused by pathogen Ralstonia...

Abstract Even in homogeneous conditions, plants facing a soilborne pathogen tend to show binary outcome with individuals either remaining fully healthy or developing severe lethal disease symptoms. As the rhizosphere microbiome is major determinant of plant health, we postulated that such may result from an early divergence assembly further cascade into varying suppression abilities. We tested this hypothesis by setting up longitudinal study tomato growing natural but homogenized soil...

It is widely known that some soils have strong levels of disease suppression and prevent the establishment pathogens in rhizosphere plants. However, what are better suppressing disease, how management can help us to boost remain unclear. Here, we used field, greenhouse laboratory experiments investigate effect (monocropping rotation) on capacity microbiomes peanut root rot disease. Compared with crop rotations, monocropping resulted microbial assemblies were less effective diseases. Further,...

Bacterial pathogens are one of the major threats to biosafety and environmental health, advanced assessment is a prerequisite combating bacterial pathogens. Currently, 16S rRNA gene sequencing efficient in open-view detection However, taxonomic resolution applicability this method limited by domain-specific pathogen database, profiling method, target variable regions. Here, we present pipeline multiple (MBPD) identify animal, plant, zoonotic MBPD based on large, curated database full-length...

Abstract Intercropping has the potential to improve plant nutrition as well crop yield. However, exact mechanism promoting improved nutrient acquisition and role rhizosphere microbiome may play in this process remains poorly understood. Here, we use a peanut/maize intercropping system investigate of root-associated microbiota iron these crops, combining profiling, strain substance isolation functional validation. We find that increases peanut but not maize plants composition changes...

Abstract The plant health status is determined by the interplay of plant-pathogen-microbiota in rhizosphere. Here, we investigate this tripartite system focusing on pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) and tomato plants as a model system. First, explore differences genotype resistance to FOL potentially associated with differential recruitment plant-protective rhizosphere taxa. Second, show production fusaric acid trigger systemic changes microbiota. Specifically, molecule...
