Abstract
In a previous study, the mechanism by which citric acid in rice root exudates enhanced the colonization of Bacillus altitudinis LZP02 was discovered. The present study verified that citric acid increased the recruitment and rice growth-promoting ability of B. altitudinis LZP02. These findings serve as an interesting case for explaining the underlying mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions. Henceforth, citric acid and B. altitudinis LZP02 could be exploited for the development of sustainable agronomy.
