Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Protein synthesis potential rather than total membership revealed fine-scale genus differences between rhizosphere and control soil communities of Boechera stricta.
- Observation DNA community analysis alone disproportionately increased the importance of Saccharibacteria and Gemmatimonadetes phyla in the overall soil community profile.
- Observation DNA analysis underestimated several known root associates (Comamonadaceae, Rhizobacter, Variovorax), which had elevated protein synthesis potential in rhizosphere soil.
- Observation The PSP community profile showed elevated levels of proteins associated with carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism in rhizosphere-associated bacteria.
- Mechanism The elevated metabolic proteins may shed light on potential mechanisms by which root exudates shape the rhizosphere soil community.
