Abstract
Bacteriophages, bacteria, and mycorrhizal fungi are key members of plant microbiomes, yet connections among them remain unexplored. This forum article highlights the potential importance of bacteriophage knock-on effects in mycorrhizal ecology, develops testable hypotheses, and details experiments that could clarify views of belowground nutrient economies and plant growth responses in our changing world.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Microbiology serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary forum for discussing various aspects of microbiology, spanning cell biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. In the rapidly evolving field of microbiology, technological advancements, especially in genome sequencing, impact prokaryote biology from pathogens to extremophiles, influencing developments in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research.
