Genetically engineered mouse strain can also be used as the host to develop specific antibodies, for example, an IgG monoclonal antibody with high binding specificity against GM3 ganglioside was developed through beta3Gn-T5 knockout mice [244]. To do this, PGPR strains are grown in broth cultures and then the cells are removed through a combination of centrifugation and filtration (Gray and Smith, 2005; Gray et al., 2006). doi: 10.1038/286885a0, Kristin, A., and Miranda, H.

Master’s thesis, McGill University, Montreal, QC. J. Bacteriol. Agron. Root exudation is genetically regulated and can thus shape distinct rhizobacterial communities for different plant genotypes, resulting in highly variable exudates among plant species, individual plant types within the same species, at different plant developmental stages, growth conditions, and biotic interactions (Gransee and Wittenmayer, 2000; Mougel et al., 2006; Broeckling et al., 2008; Houlden et al., 2008; Badri and Vivanco, 2009; Micallef et al., 2009; Badri et al., 2013; Kristin and Miranda, 2013).

Other bacteria that do not fix N have been shown to increase N uptake in plants, thus increasing nitrogen use efficiency (Adesemoye et al., 2008; Adesemoye and Kloepper, 2009), likely due to increased root growth, which allows plants to access more soil (Beattie, 2015).

Conversion of lignocellulosic material to fuel needs to become easier and less expensive to make this fuel economically competitive (Kuhad et al., 2011); in addition, there needs to be improved biomass availability from purpose-grown biomass crops (e.g., Miscanthus, switchgrass, and Sorghum bicolour) (Carpita and McCann, 2008; Lynd et al., 2008; Margaritopoulou et al., 2016; McCalmont et al., 2017). Another consideration is acute versus chronic application of PGPR or signal molecules. This was associated with an increase in stress and pathogenesis-related gene expression and antioxidant enzyme activity suggesting induced resistance against the virus. doi: 10.1038/nature02122. Mouse IgG isotypes displayed marked differences in bactericidal (IgG3 >> IgG2b > IgG2a >> IgG1) and opsonophagocytic (IgG3 > IgG2b = IgG2a >> IgG1) activity when reacting with the P1.16 epitope on the outer membrane PorA protein of Neisseria meningitidis [4].

Finally, it is now becoming apparent that there is some degree of hierarchy within the phytomicrobiome and that there are key members, termed “hub species” (Agler et al., 2016) or “core species” (Toju et al., 2018), whose activities are regulated by plants, and hub species in turn regulate broader activities within the phytomicrobiome. Plant Sci. BIOL 304. (2012). It is involved in plant-microbe interactions (e.g., Ahemad and Kibret, 2014; Afzal et al., 2015).
