How Bacterial Endosymbionts Boost Fungal Virulence by Disrupting Disease‑Suppressive Rhizobiomes

Bacterial endosymbionts in Fusarium oxysporum enhance fungal virulence by reshaping the rhizosphere microbiome. Achromobacter spp. endosymbionts reduce disease‑suppressive bacteria, including Streptomyces, through beauvericin production. This tripartite interaction weakens microbiome‑based plant defense and intensifies pathogen impact.
