Amping up reproducibility of microbiome studies through standardized protocols and fabricated ecosystems
There is ample evidence for the impacts of plant microbiomes to plant growth and metabolism, but there are also challenges to obtaining reproducible data. In a first of its kind multi-laboratory microbiome reproducibility study, researchers from five groups across three continents used prefabricated single-plant sterile incubation chambers (see https://www.protocols.io/view/use-of-ecofab-2-0-for-reproducible-plant-microbe-i-kxygxyydkl8j/v1) to study microbiome of the model […]
