Rhizosphere microbiome response to fusaric acid and SMS amendment in cucumber
This study investigates how spent mushroom substrate (SMS) influences the bioavailability of fusaric acid (FA) and its ecological consequences in the cucumber rhizosphere. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed to assess bacterial community responses under FA exposure with or without SMS amendment. The dataset supports analysis of toxin-mediated microbiome perturbation and the buffering effect of organic amendments in agroecosystems.
