High throughput microbial cultivation from maize root under phosphate starvation condition

Our hypothesis relied on the importance of phenotypic traits in the influence of root and rhizosphere microbiome. That is because high-throughput cultivation of microbes from soil, applied to Wild Type and root mutant of maize. Soil for this experiment is collected from one of the oldest Long-Term Experiments – Dikopshof field. Low Phosphate content of this soil allows it to identify phosphate solubilizing microbes from the natural environment.
