Protozoa and plant growth: the microbial loop in soil revisited. (2004, background): “There is now increasing evidence that the effects of rhizobacteria on root architecture are controlled to a great extent by protozoan grazing (Bonkowski & Brandt, 2002; K. Kreuzer & M. Bonkowski, unpublished).”
Two Invasive Plants Alter Soil Microbial Community Composition in Serpentine Grasslands (2006, background): “(Bonkowski and Brandt 2002).”
Interactions Between Bacteria, Protozoa and Nematodes in Soil (2012, background): “In these experiments, the amoeba Acan thamoeba castellani increased the proportion of IAA producing bacteria and induced root branching in plant seedlings (Bonkowski and Brandt 2002).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail? (2011, background): “…themselves are likely to benefit from increased plant growth since bigger plants may allocate more C belowground and support a greater root biomass and rhizodeposition, ultimateley resulting in increased prey (bacteria) density (Bonkowski 2004; Bonkowski and Brandt 2002; Phillips et al. 2003).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “the protozoa (Bonkowski 2004; Bonkowski and Brandt 2002).”
Stimulation of Plant Growth through Interactions of Bacteria and Protozoa: Testing the Auxiliary Microbial Loop Hypothesis (2012, background): “…plant biomass without increasing plant N uptake (Kuikman et al. 1991, Jentschke et al. 1995, Alphei et al. 1996, Bonkowski et al. 2001b), but with profound positive effects on root architecture (e.g. Jentschke et al. 1995, Bonkowski and Brandt 2002, Kreuzer et al. 2006, Somasundaram et al. 2008).”
Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots (2009, unknown): “Bacterial-feeding nematodes may have affected plant growth by stimulating hormone production through grazing-induced changes to the soil microbial community (Mao et al. 2006, 2007), suggesting corresponding mechanisms of nematodes and protozoa (Bonkowski and Brandt 2002).”
Resource Exchange in the Rhizosphere: Molecular Tools and the Microbial Perspective (2006, background): “For example, Bonkowski & Brandt (2002) found lateral root proliferation in Lepidium sativum seedlings was associated with the presence of protozoal grazers, perhaps because protozoa promote increased numbers of bacteria capable of producing auxin.”
