Summary

, which resulted predominantly in the oomycete community composition of diseased matrices, though it was also present in healthy ones. Both bacterial and fungal communities resulted in a high richness of genera and were highly correlated to the sampling site and matrix, underlining the importance of multiple location sampling both geographically and spatially. The rhizosphere community associated with KVDS was driven by a dysbiotic process. In addition, analysis of the association network in the diseased rhizosphere revealed the presence of potential cross-kingdom competition for plant-derived carbon between saprobes, oomycetes, and bacteria.
