Efficient establishment of\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    in prairie restorations and urban plantings could drastically improve long-term functionality of the space. Soil microbial communities have been linked to plant germination, growth, and drought tolerance in many plant species, however little is known about the factors contributing to\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    germination and early growth. In this study, we used sterilized soil to examine the impact of soil microbes on\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    growth under greenhouse conditions. We found\n                    <jats:italic>Bouteloua curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    emergence and growth to be impaired in sterilized soil compared to not-sterilized soil. Using high throughput sequencing of the soil, we found that\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    grown in sterilized soil induced a greater proportion of plant pathogens and fewer nitrifying bacteria as compared to when grown in not-sterilized soil. For example, there was a significantly higher proportion of\n                    <jats:italic>Acidovorax<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Cellvibrio<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Xanthomonas<\/jats:italic>\n                    which are known to contain plant pathogens, while plant-growth promoting bacteria, like\n                    <jats:italic>Rhodopseudomonas,<\/jats:italic>\n                    were significantly higher in the not-sterile soil conditions. We found that soil sterilization and growth of\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    changed the relative abundance of metabolic subsystem genes in the soil, however, by seven weeks after seeding,\n                    <jats:italic>B. curtipendula<\/jats:italic>\n                    transformed the bacterial community of sterile soil such that it was indiscernible from not-sterile soil. In contrast, fungal communities in sterilized soil were still different from not-sterilized soil seven weeks post-seeding. It appears that the bacteria are involved in the initial establishment of beneficial conditions that set the stage for a robust fungal and plant seedling development.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0312218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]],"date-time":"2026-01-05T18:53:06Z","timestamp":1767639186000},"page":"e0312218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Soil microbiome perturbation impedes growth of Bouteloua curtipendula and increases relative abundance of soil microbial pathogens"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Alisiara","family":"Hobbs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daisy","family":"Ochoa-Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine E.","family":"Humphrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7168-8015","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"John A.","family":"Kyndt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tyler C.","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"pone.0312218.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1111\/rec.12051","article-title":"Urban Grassland Restoration: A Neglected Opportunity for Biodiversity Conservation","volume":"21","author":"VH Klaus","year":"2013","journal-title":"Restorat Ecol"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0312218.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-1739.2008.01076.x","article-title":"Impact of native plants on bird and butterfly biodiversity in suburban landscapes","volume":"23","author":"KT Burghardt","year":"2009","journal-title":"Conserv Biol"},{"key":"pone.0312218.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1007\/s10531-014-0788-1","article-title":"Adding ecological value to the urban lawnscape.
