Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Colonizing strains grew along emerging radicles.
- Method / resource The assay quantified root bacterial populations reproducibly across experiments.
- Observation Twenty-four of 54 strains colonized roots at 10 4 to 10 6 cfu/g root.
- Observation All root-colonizing strains were Gram negative.
- Intervention effect Two pseudomonad strains colonized maize roots in autoclaved soil after failing in raw soil.
- Intervention effect Incubation temperature had no substantial effect on subsequent root colonization.
- Method / resource Sand–soil assay root population densities were comparable to greenhouse soil results.
