It was great to be part of this project. Hereby the final piece on how a PGPR with defective biofilm formation still leads to increase in soil EPS contents (potentially due to cooperation with indigenous microbes)
Final piece of our DFG project published. Great collaboration between JKI and TU Dresden @agmicro-lab.bsky.social @jhtzethof.bsky.social
Under non-stressful plant conditions is the ability to form biofilm not essential for inoculant rhizocompetence. Result from our new published study 👇🏻
