Abstract

Soil microbial community is crucial for plant health. They all represent a second much larger genome associated to plants. Microbes vary in their number and diversity which is in order of tens of thousands species in fertile agricultural soils. In general, soil microbial communities include bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, nematodes, and microarthropods. Most of them are neutral in relation to their effects on plants. They are important players of the food web as they utilize most of the carbon released by roots as rhizodeposits. Less than ten percent of the total rhizosphere microbes exert beneficial or harmful effects on plants. Pathogenic microorganisms in soil include fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, and nematodes while the beneficial microbial community consists of symbiotic, associative symbiotic and free-living plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and algae. Recent research in plant-microbe interactions showed that host specific microbial species are associated with different plant species in the same soil. The number and diversity of beneficial and deleterious microorganisms depend on the quality and quantity of root exudates which, along with soil physico-chemical properties, give shape to the rhizosphere microbial community structure. This chapter highlights the importance of rhizosphere microbial communities in relation to plant growth. Recent advances on soil-plant-microbe interactions in a balanced and optimized manner are discussed.
