Incorporation of plant residue in corn monoculture selectively enriches antagonistic phenotypes among lignin-degrading vs non-degrading <i>Streptomyces</i>
2025-07-14
Abstract excerpt
Competition for limited carbon resources in the soil can drive complex microbe-microbe dynamics including selection for antagonistic resource competitors. Lignin, one of the main components of plant residue, is one source of carbon input into soil. However, the highly recalcitrant nature of lignin requires degrading organisms to invest in extracellular enzymes, whose breakdown products are susceptible to poaching...
