Superiority of native soil core microbiomes in supporting plant growth

Summary

Native core microbiomes represent a unique opportunity to support food provision and plant-based industries. Yet, these microbiomes are often neglected when developing synthetic communities (SynComs) to support plant health and growth. Here, we study the contribution of native core, native non-core and non-native microorganisms to support plant production. We construct four alternative SynComs based on the excellent growth promoting ability of individual stain and paired non-antagonistic action. One of microbiome based SynCom (SC2) shows a high niche breadth and low average variation degree in-vitro interaction. The promoting-growth effect of SC2 can be transferred to non-sterile environment, attributing to the colonization of native core microorganisms and the improvement of rhizosphere p
