Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) associations range in degree of bacterial proximity to the root and intimacy of association. In general, these can be separated into extracellular …
Many bacteria utilize contact-dependent killing machineries to eliminate rivals in their environmental niches. Here we show that the plant root colonizer Pseudomonas putida …
