Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Three isolates from the rhizosphere of BC204-treated tomato plants matched bacterial genera that promote plant growth.
- Association The microbial community of the BC204 plus Mycoroot treatment group showed increased richness of substrate utilization on Biolog EcoPlates.
- Mechanism Some form of interaction between BC204 and Mycoroot™ causes a shift in the structural and functional diversity of the rhizosphere bacterial community.
