This study shows that Pseudomonas protegens CHA0 maintains its multi-host lifestyle and key traits after serial passage through insect larvae, with only minor and limited changes observed.

The paper investigates how Arabidopsis, Barley, and Lotus plants recruit specific bacteria from synthetic communities, finding that functional capacities drive microbiota assembly.

The paper uses protein foundation models to predict microbial root competence across bacteria, finding that these models outperform traditional methods when predicting traits in evolutionarily distant species.

This study identifies two distinct functional states in synthetic plant root bacterial communities driven by Bacilli abundance and microbial interactions.

SyFi improves the accuracy of SynCom member identification by using genomic and amplicon-based fingerprints, enhancing resolution for closely related isolates.
