Abstract Background Plant microbiota contributes to plant growth and health, including enhancing resistance various diseases. Despite remarkable progress in understanding diseases plants, the precise role of rhizosphere watermelon against soil-borne remains unclear. Here, we constructed a synthetic community (SynCom) 16 core bacterial strains obtained from grafted plants. We further simplified SynCom investigated bacteria with synergistic interactions promoting through simple community....
Microbial interactions affect community stability and niche spaces in all ecosystems. However, it is not clear what factors influence these interactions, leading to changes species fitness ecological niches. Here, we utilized 16 monocultures their corresponding pairwise co-cultures measure among cultivable bacterial a wide range of carbon sources, used resource availability as parameter alter the synthetic community. Our results suggest that metabolic similarity drives deformation between...
Microbial interactions play a critical role in ecosystem stability. However, the degree of competition and cooperation that are reflected observed composition microbial communities their response to alterations nutrient availability has not been systematically investigated. Thus, we utilized monocultures pairwise co-cultures order measure changes growth, niche among sixteen cultured rhizosphere soil bacteria across different carbon types availabilities. Our analysis showed differed strain...
