Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Bacillus polymyxa co-inoculation increased early and final Rhizobium etli root populations relative to R. etli alone.
- Intervention effect Co-culturing R. etli with B. polymyxa without seedlings did not enhance bacterial populations.
- Intervention effect Adding seed exudate to growth medium failed to reproduce the population increase seen in plants.
- Mechanism The authors infer that B. polymyxa indirectly raises R. etli populations through the plant host.
