e2“B. curtipendula grown in sterilized soil induced a greater proportion of plant pathogens and fewer nitrifying bacteria as compared to when grown in not-sterilized soil”
e3“there was a significantly higher proportion of Acidovorax, Cellvibrio, and Xanthomonas which are known to contain plant pathogens”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Emergence and growth of B. curtipendula are impaired in sterilized soil compared with non-sterilized soil.
- Intervention effect B. curtipendula grown in sterilized soil induces a greater proportion of plant pathogens.
- Intervention effect B. curtipendula grown in sterilized soil yields fewer nitrifying bacteria than in non-sterilized soil.
- Association Plant-growth promoting bacteria, such as Rhodopseudomonas, are significantly more abundant in non-sterile soil.
- Association Soil sterilization and B. curtipendula growth change the relative abundance of metabolic subsystem genes in the soil.
- Association By seven weeks after seeding, B. curtipendula makes the bacterial community of sterile soil indiscernible from non-sterile soil.
- Association Fungal communities in sterilized soil remain different from non-sterilized soil seven weeks after seeding.
- Mechanism Bacteria appear to establish beneficial conditions that set the stage for robust fungal and plant seedling development.
