Antibiotics and copper drive compartment-specific dysbiosis and functional reprogramming in tomato microbiomes

Fabiano José Perina, Vanessa E Thomas, Toi Ketehouli, Sameerika Dissanayaka Mudiyanselage, Erica M. Goss, Samuel J. Martins

This study shows how antibiotics and copper alter compartment-specific microbiomes in tomato plants, increasing susceptibility to disease by disrupting microbial functions and community structure.
