Fast-growing Bacillus sensu lato rhizosphere populations are constrained by antagonistic Pseudomonadota, Actinomycetota and other Bacillus sensu lato

Muhammad Yasir Afzal, JaLeigha Kambeitz, Volker S. Brözel

The paper investigates why Bacillus sensu lato populations remain low in nutrient-rich soil despite rapid growth, finding that they are suppressed by antagonistic microbes and induce sporulation.
