Fig. 1: Phosphomonoesterase activity observed in plant-associated Bacteroidetes.

A Phosphatase (monoesterase) activity of Bacteroidetes (n = 42) and non-Bacteroidetes strains (n = 20) isolated from the rhizosphere of field-grown Oilseed Rape (OSR) grown on glucose as the carbon source. B Phylogenetic analysis of Flavobacterium isolates using a multi-locus approach with ten single-copy core genes (as previously described by [18]). Evolutionary distances were inferred using the maximum-likelihood method in MEGA 7. C Phosphomonoesterase activity of whole-genome-sequenced OSR strains, non-OSR Flavobacterium strains and three Pseudomonas rhizosphere strains grown on glucose as the carbon source. Results are the mean of triplicate assays and error bars denote ± standard deviation.
