Traits-Based Integration of Multi-Species Inoculants Facilitates Shifts of Indigenous Soil Bacterial Community.

ABSTRACT: Microbial co-inoculation is considered to be an innovative approach and had been applied worldwide. However, the underlying mechanisms of microbial co-inoculants constructions, especially the trait-based combination of distinctly different microbial species remains poorly understood. In this study, we constructed two microbial co-inoculants with the same three strains with emphasis on the microbial, soil and plant traits. Microbial co-inoculants 1 (M1) were constructed according to soil fertility, microbial activity and cucumber nutrient requirement with a 2:1:2 ratio (Ensifer sp. NYM3, Acinetobacter sp. P16 and Flavobacterium sp. KYM3), while microbial co-inoculants 2 (M2) were constructed according to soil fertility and cucumber nutrient requirement with a 1:10:1 rat
