Pseudomonas intra-genus competition determines the protective function of synthetic bacterial communities in Arabidopsis thaliana The plant microbiome can protect its host against detrimental bacterial strains. This study shows that competition among Pseudomonas bacteria in synthetic bacterial communities determines how well the...
