Where less may be more: How the rare biosphere pulls ecosystems strings
Alexandre Jousset,Christina Bienhold,Antonis Chatzinotas,Laure Gallien,Angélique Gobet,Viola Kurm,Kirsten Küsel,Matthias C. Rillig,Damian W. Rivett,Joana Falcão Salles,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Noha H. Youssef,Xiaowei Zhang,Zhong Wei,W. H. Gera Hol +14 more
TL;DR: An ecological overview of the rare microbial biosphere is provided, including causes of rarity and the impacts of rare species on ecosystem functioning, and how rare species can have a preponderant role for local biodiversity and species turnover with rarity potentially bound to phylogenetically conserved features is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic network architecture of root-associated bacterial communities determines pathogen invasion and plant health
Zhong Wei,Tianjie Yang,Ville-Petri Friman,Yangchun Xu,Qirong Shen,Alexandre Jousset,Alexandre Jousset +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that bipartite resource competition networks are better predictors of invasion resistance compared with resident community diversity and bacterial resource competition network characteristics can thus be important in explaining positive diversity–invasion resistance relationships in bacterial rhizosphere communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research.
Stefan Geisen,Edward A. D. Mitchell,Sina M. Adl,Michael Bonkowski,Micah Dunthorn,Flemming Ekelund,Leonardo D. Fernández,Alexandre Jousset,Valentyna Krashevska,David Singer,Frederick W. Spiegel,Julia Walochnik,Enrique Lara +12 more
TL;DR: An overview of the enormous morphological, taxonomical and functional diversity of soil protists is provided, and current challenges and opportunities in soil protistology are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial soil microbiome composition and functioning predetermine future plant health
Zhong Wei,Yian Gu,Ville-Petri Friman,Ville-Petri Friman,George A. Kowalchuk,George A. Kowalchuk,Yangchun Xu,Qirong Shen,Alexandre Jousset,Alexandre Jousset +9 more
TL;DR: It was found that the composition and functioning of the initial soil microbiome predetermined whether the plants survived or succumbed to disease, and microbiome-mediated plant protection could subsequently be transferred to the next plant generation via soil transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotic Diversity Enhances Rhizosphere Microbiome Function and Plant Disease Suppression.
Jie Hu,Jie Hu,Zhong Wei,Ville-Petri Friman,Shao Hua Gu,Xiaofang Wang,Nico Eisenhauer,Tian Jie Yang,Tian Jie Yang,Jing Ma,Qirong Shen,Yangchun Xu,Alexandre Jousset,Alexandre Jousset +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that increasing the diversity of probiotic consortia enhances community survival in the naturally diverse rhizosphere microbiome, leading to increased pathogen suppression via intensified resource competition and interference with the pathogen.
