Optimizing Crop Production with Bacterial Inputs: Insights into Chemical Dialogue between Sphingomonas sediminicola and Pisum sativum.

ABSTRACT: The use of biological inputs is an interesting approach to optimize crop production and reduce the use of chemical inputs. Understanding the chemical communication between bacteria and plants is critical to optimizing this approach. Recently, we have shown that Sphingomonas (S.) sediminicola can improve both nitrogen supply and yield in pea. Here, we used biochemical methods and untargeted metabolomics to investigate the chemical dialog between S. sediminicola and pea. We also evaluated the metabolic capacities of S. sediminicola by metabolic profiling. Our results showed that peas release a wide range of hexoses, organic acids, and amino acids during their development, which can generally recruit and select fast-growing organisms. In the presence of S
