Growth curves of the four Burkholderiaceae strains on Arabidopsis thaliana root exudates. Growth curves were obtained after 120 h in culture tests carried out with A. thaliana root exudates (PRE) collected on day 14, or 21, with plants grown on standard (PRE) or N-limiting (N-PRE) conditions: (A) 14d.PRE; (B) 21d.PRE; (C) 14d.N-PRE, and (D) 21d.N-PRE. Each growth curve corresponds to the average of three replicates of cultures inoculated with each individual strain alone, or the 4-member combination of Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN, Cupriavidus pinatubonensis JMP134, C. metallidurans CH34, and C. taiwanensis LMG19424. Standard deviations were lower than 5–10% and are not shown for clarity
