Abstract:
Microbial diversity and interactions in the rhizosphere play a crucial role in plant health and ecosystem functioning. Among the myriads of rhizosphere microbes, Pseudomonas and Bacillus are prominent players known for their multifaceted functionalities and beneficial effects on plant growth. The molecular mechanism of interspecies interactions between natural isolates of Bacillus and Pseudomonas in medium conditions is well understood, but the interaction between the two in vivo remains unclear. This paper focuses on the possible synergies between Pseudomonas and Bacillus associated in practical applications (such as recruiting beneficial microbes, cross-feeding and niche complementarity), and looks forward to the application prospects of the consortium in agriculture, human health and bioremediation. Through in-depth understanding of the interactions between Pseudomonas and Bacillus as well as their application prospects in various fields, this study is expected to provide a new theoretical basis and practical guidance for promoting the research and application of rhizosphere microbes.
