Synthetic communities derived from the core endophytic microbiome of hyperaccumulators and their role in cadmium phytoremediation

In this study, we designed an innovative network analysis workflow to identify the core endophytic microbiome in hyperaccumulator. Based on the cultivable core bacteria, an optimized SynCom-NS was constructed and verified to have great potential in enhancing phytoremediation. This work not only provided a framework for identifying core microbiomes associated with specific features but also paved the way for the construction of functional synthetic communities derived from core microbiomes to develop high efficient agricultural agents.
