Fragmented micro-growth habitats present opportunities for alternative competitive outcomes

The paper shows that fragmented microhabitats lead to more variable bacterial interactions, enabling alternative outcomes and supporting species diversity.

Natural soil suppressiveness against soilborne phytopathogens extends to the control of insect pest

The paper shows that soil suppressive against plant pathogens also controls insect pests by reducing plant stress responses and altering microbiome dynamics.

Molecular and evolutionary basis of O-antigenic polysaccharide driven phage sensitivity in environmental pseudomonads

This study identifies the O-antigenic polysaccharide as a receptor for phage {Phi}GP100 in Pseudomonas protegens CHA0, revealing its role in phage sensitivity and genomic plasticity of the OBC3 gene cluster.

Inhibition of broomrape germination by 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol produced by environmental Pseudomonas.

This study shows that Pseudomonas ogarae F113 produces PGCs that inhibit broomrape germination, with irreversible effects, and that bacterial inoculants can limit parasitic weed infection in oilseed rape without affecting plant nutrition.

Spatially Restricted Immune Responses Allow for Root Meristematic Activity During Bacterial Colonisation

The paper shows that spatially restricted immune responses in plant roots allow meristematic activity during bacterial colonization by distinguishing cell-autonomous and non-cell autonomous responses.
