This was such a neat study it got posted twice on our 'cool papers' channel in lab slack 😅

Ever wondered how single-celled predators in soil boost plant health?
🧬 Protists don't just eat bacteria -they team up with them to shape the rhizosphere.
📈 Auxin isn't just a plant hormone -it's an interkingdom signal influencing microbial and protist life.

Diverse soil protists show auxin regulated growth in partnership with auxin-producing bacteria
Abstract. Predatory protists are single-cell eukaryotic organisms capable of hunting and ingesting bacteria and other microorganisms, which are thought to

Aiming to uncover mechanisms that enhance plant growth and soil health, @rsrp27.bsky.social of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station will investigate how plants, protists and bacteria interact via signaling molecules to shape the rhizosphere.
