Changes in structure and assembly of a species-rich soil natural community with contrasting nutrient availability upon establishment of a plant-beneficial …
Background Plant-beneficial bacterial inoculants are of great interest in agriculture as they
have the potential to promote plant growth and health. However, the inoculation of the
rhizosphere microbiome often results in a suboptimal or transient colonization, which is due
to a variety of factors that influence the fate of the inoculant. To better understand the fate of
plant-beneficial inoculants in complex rhizosphere microbiomes, composed by hundreds of
genotypes and multifactorial selection mechanisms, controlled studies with high-complexity …
