Diagram showing how a helper strain induces biofilm formation in the core symbiotic strain, Bradyrhizobium, via production of acyl homoserine lactones. This biofilm formation facilitates colonization of the soybean plant roots by Bradyrhizobium and promotes nodulation.

The complexity of #SynComs can limit their application. Li et al. propose a strategy for constructing a simplified and functional SynCom (sfSynCom) to enhance symbiotic #nitrogen fixation in #soybean.

Super cool use of metabolic models of reconstituted communities and inulin in a #synbiotic intervention to predict engraftment of specific strains in a clinical trial.

This is where #microbialEcology #ecoengineering should be going!

Fantastic (and very busy) two days visiting @irhs-angers.bsky.social and sharing insights on plant #microbiota and #syncoms with the @emersys-irhs.bsky.social and #FungiSem teams. 🥑🍅🫘🐝

And what a greenhouse! 🤩

Thanks @microbialmarie.bsky.social for having us!
