A Caulobacter hub taxon in the soybean root endosphere has a distinctive biofilm and engages in riboflavin-mediated mutualism with Bradyrhizobium
While it is well established that communities of microbes colonize the surfaces of plants as epiphytes and the interior plant tissues as endophytes, their ecological roles and colonization mechanisms remain under characterized. Members of the genus Caulobacter have emerged as hub taxa in epiphytic and endophytic microb...
