• Rhizosphere microbial community and its response to plant species and soil history (2007, neutral): “The work of Smalla et al. (2001) has provided evidence that different plant species select different bacterial communities and that these plantspecific enrichments can be increased by repeated cultivation of the same plant species in the same field (Smalla et al. 2001).”
• Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere. A review (2011, methodology): “Smalla et al. (2001) monitored the bacterial rhizosphere communities of strawberry, oilseed rape and potato for two consecutive years by the culturableindependent fingerprinting method, denaturing gradient-gel electrophoresis (DGGE).”
• Biological control in the microbiome era: Challenges and opportunities (2015, background): “Several authors suggested to focus more broadly on plant-associated microbial communities (Benítez and McSpadden Gardener, 2009; Kim et al., 2011; Smalla et al., 2001).”
• The rhizosphere zoo: An overview of plant-associated communities of microorganisms, including phages, bacteria, archaea, and fungi, and of some of their structuring factors (2009, background): “…an impact on rhizobacterial communities include seasonal changes (Dunfield and Germida 2003; van Overbeek and van Elsas 2008), plant species (Grayston et al. 1998; Smalla et al. 2001) and even cultivar (genotype) within the same plant species (Van Overbeek and Van Elsas 2008; Andreote et al. 2009).”
• Transgenic Bt rice does not affect enzyme activities and microbial composition in the rhizosphere during crop development (2008, result): “5 and 7), which is consistent with previous studies that have shown clear seasonal variability in these populations (Losey et al., 1999; Griffiths et al., 2000; Lottmann et al., 2000; Smalla et al., 2001; Heuer et al., 2002).”
• Next-Generation Bio-Products Sowing the Seeds of Success for Sustainable Agriculture (2013, background): “morphology was shown to shape rhizosphere microbial communities [7–10].”
• Bacillus as PGPR in Crop Ecosystem (2011, methodology): “While culture-independent studies of soil confirmed the uncultured diversity of both Bacillus and Paenibacillus rRNA lineages, there are contradictions about the relative abundance of culturable and unculturable representatives of these genera in different soils (McSpadden Gardener 2004; Smalla et ”
• Soil fumigation and compost amendment alter soil microbial community composition but do not improve tree growth or yield in an apple replant site (2006, methodology): “A GC clamp was attached to either the forward or reverse primer used for PCR amplification to improve resolution of the amplicon operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the DGGE analysis (Muyzer et al., 1993; Smalla et al., 2001).”
• Pasture management clearly affects soil microbial community structure and N-cycling bacteria (2009, background): “These results are supported by previous work (e.g. Kowalchuk et al., 2002; Smalla et al., 2001).”
