Siderophore interactions drive the ability of Pseudomonas spp. consortia to protect tomato against Ralstonia solanacearum.

ABSTRACT: The soil-borne bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum causes significant losses in Solanaceae crop production worldwide, including tomato, potato, and eggplant. To efficiently prevent outbreaks, it is essential to understand the complex interactions between pathogens and the microbiome. One promising mechanism for enhancing microbiome functionality is siderophore-mediated competition, which is shaped by the low iron availability in the rhizosphere. This study explores the critical role of iron competition in determining microbiome functionality and its potential for designing high-performance microbiome engineering strategies. We investigated the impact of siderophore-mediated interactions on the efficacy of Pseudomonas spp. consortia in suppressing R. solanac
