Biological nitrogen fixation by free-living bacteria and rhizobial symbiosis with legumes plays a key role in sustainable crop production. Here, we study how different crop combinations influence the interaction between peanut plants and their rhizosphere microbiota via metabolite deposition and ...
Small volatile molecules are considered to play a role in promoting plant growth, with acetoin and 2,3-butanediol being representative examples. In this study, we employed metabolic engineering of Bacillus subtilis to enhance the production of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol, and investigated the...
