Preface
Microbial communities are the fundamental engines for balanced ecosystem function, natural ecological harmony, biotic and abiotic stress mitigation, nutrient recycling, acquisition and mineralization, bioconversion of complex animal and plant residues and bioremediation of soil contaminants. By such complex and crucial but continuous and extraordinary functions, they support plant growth, development and soil fertility. Plant rhizosphere, the vicinity of the root space associated with the soil, has remained among the most biologically diverse and chemically active interface for microbial activities. Microorganisms enjoy root exudates comprising sugars, organic acids, amino acids and beneficial metabolites for growth and development of their communities. They in turn secrete in the rhiz
