Hui Nie et al. found that Bacillus thuringiensis NL-11 (exogenous #microbialinoculants) promoted the enrichment of indigenous microbial taxa, including 45 amplicon sequence variants.

Synthetic community construction and evaluation of growth-promoting effects. (a) Flow diagram of the methodology used to construct the bacterial synthetic communities. (b) Effects of inoculation with single synthetic community members or the synthetic community on plant biomass compared to CK. *, ** and *** indicate significant difference at P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001, respectively (Dunnett’s test). Each bar represents the mean ± SEM. (c) Representative phenotype of 75-day-old alfalfa under four key treatments (CK, NL-11, SynCom12 and BSynCom12). Photographs were taken from independent biological replicates (n = 8 pots per treatment), and the displayed plants were randomly selected as a representative example.

Exogenous Bacillus promotes enrichment of native microbes to assemble synthetic communities for plant growth promotion
Exogenous inoculant Bacillus thuringiensis NL-11 enriches specific indigenous rhizosphere taxa and enables the rational assembly of synthetic communities.
