Interactions with native microbial keystone taxa enhance the biocontrol efficiency of Streptomyces.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Streptomyces spp. are known for producing bioactive compounds that suppress phytopathogens. However, previous studies have largely focused on their direct interactions with pathogens and plants, often neglecting their interactions with the broader soil microbiome. In this study, we hypothesized that these interactions are critical for effective pathogen control. We investigated a diverse collection of Streptomyces strains to select those with strong protective capabilities against tomato wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Leveraging a synthetic community (SynCom) established in our lab, alongside multiple in planta and in vitro co-cultivation experiments, as well as transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, we explored the synergistic inhibitory mechanisms und
