Radish Seedling Length Response to Pseudomonas SynCom6

The equal-proportion M mixture of six garlic-rhizosphere Pseudomonas isolates increased radish seedling length relative to sterile-water CK and B8-7 alone in the two-day incubator assay. Adding B8-7 to M did not significantly change the growth-promoting effect, and B8-7 alone did not promote growth. This is a consortium-level host response, not a garlic field-yield result or demonstrated cooperation among the six strains. Individual Pseudomonas monocultures and member omissions were not the comparison reported here, so synergy and each member's necessity are unresolved. The single canonical Pseudomonas sp. participant is an unresolved umbrella for the six isolates, not a complete strain-resolved roster or a claim that they are one species.

Knowledge gaps & discussions (1)

KNOWLEDGE_GAP OPEN Which members and mechanisms drive the radish seedling response?

Field garlic amplicon enrichment and co-occurrence nominated Pseudomonas; six isolates with provisional 16S/BLAST names were then mixed in equal proportions. Those selection and assembly steps are design context, not ecological interactions, so their two workflow nodes and symbiosis annotations are removed. The prior 2026-10-02 removal of workflow arrows is preserved. Single-member, omission, dose-matched and metabolite perturbations would test necessity and synergy; longer-term garlic and field assays would test transfer of the radish result. Provisional species names do not justify invented canonical IDs. No figure images, separate supplements or raw data were independently audited.
