- Observation Despite composition differentiation, plant-associated soil and rock communities share a core of highly efficient colonizers that tend to be highly abundant and is enriched in 21 bacterial families.
- Observation Microorganisms associated with plant roots are enriched in genes involved in organic compound intake and phosphorus and nitrogen turnover.
- Observation Potential for phosphorus transport, mineralization and solubilization is mostly found within bacterial families of the shared microbiome, such as Xanthobacteraceae and Bryobacteraceae.
- Observation The full repertoire of nitrogen cycle-related genes was detected in the plant-associated microbiomes.
- Mechanism The Isosphaeraceae lineage might also be involved in nitrification via a metabolic handoff association with Binataceae.
