Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect The vermicompost-based biostimulant promoted growth of spider plants.
- Intervention effect The biostimulant changed the composition of the leaf microbiome and abundance of intact microbial cells on spider plant leaves.
- Intervention effect The biostimulant changed the microbiome on abiotic surfaces near spider plants even more strongly than on leaves.
- Intervention effect Biostimulant treatment stabilized microbial diversity on spider plants.
- Intervention effect Biostimulant treatment increased the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes on spider plants.
- Observation Verrucomicrobia, Acidobacteria and Thaumarchaeota transiently emerged as new phyla on spider plants after biostimulant treatment.
- Association The built environment became more plant-like after biostimulant treatment.
- Mechanism Indole-3-acetic acid in the biostimulant was potentially contributed by Pseudomonas species.
- Method / resource Effects of the biostimulant on microbiome composition on spider plants could be predicted with 87% accuracy.
