Interactions between native soil microbiome and a synthetic microbial community reveals bacteria with persistent traits

Abstract

SynComs are an emerging technology that can augment plant health. Still, their application in situ depends on deciphering the complex interactions between SynCom microbes and native microbial communities. This study provides insight into several Pseudomonas strains displaying persistent characteristics. Understanding the persistent traits of these bacteria is a vital advancement in SynCom technology and an important next step toward implementing SynComs in agricultural systems.
