Chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to direct their movement in gradients of attractants
and repellents, plays an important role during the rhizosphere colonization by rhizobacteria …

Competition for iron is an important factor for microbial niche establishment in the
rhizosphere. Pathogenic and beneficial symbiotic bacteria use various secretion systems to …

Rhizosphere microbes play critical roles for plant's growth and health. Among them, the
