Interesting abstract that one. A lot to unpack…. Rhizo bacteria produce RNA inhibiting leaf pathogens? Do the bacteria end up on leaves?

I expect a few different ones interact to demethylate a range of substrates. Someone with more time should investigate which ones are synthesised in co culture or the ocean

Sounds like you need to do some deep soil metaproteomics and identify which are switched on. If only it was that simple….

Fungi? Protists? Other strep? What’s the alternative explanation? I’m intrigued now 😁

Ahh haa, but there are a lot of different bacteria to kill and in many different conditions too.

'cause they're such slow growers they need to kill or be out-competed! 😂
