Under the Lens - The Microbiologist Podcast

Description

The microscopic organisms living around plant roots may hold the key to reducing agriculture's reliance on chemical fertilisers and other non-renewable inputs, according to plant microbiome researcher Dr Davide Bulgarelli.

Speaking in the latest episode of Under the Lens, a video series from Applied Microbiology International (AMI) and The Microbiologist, Dr Bulgarelli explained how plants actively shape the microbial communities that surround their roots – known as the rhizosphere – and how understanding theseinteractions could transform crop production.

Hosted by Professor Emmanuel Adukwu, Professor of Applied Microbiology and AMI Trustee, the interview explores how advances in plant microbiome research could improve crop resilience while helping agriculture meet ambitious sustainability goals.
