Description
Anagha Wankhade, Ashlynn Clark, and David W Britt study two helpful bacteria in 2026. Both bacteria share the roots of wheat plants. One lives inside the seed and root. The other coats the root surface from the soil. Such microbes are sold as crop aids, yet they may fight each other.
In sterile sand, the seed-born Bacillus settled on roots first. The Pseudomonas partner then moved in and took over the root surface. On plates, it suppressed its partner at mild temperatures. That happened in lean food, not in rich food or heat. A small, heat-proof compound in its spent medium did the work. The authors link scarce food to sharper rivalry.
