![]() The mechanisms by which bacteria colonize and survive on leaf surfaces remain largely unknown ( Burch et al., 2016). ![]() The plant phyllosphere harbors diverse microbial communities and bacteria constitute the dominant population ( Kembel et al., 2014). These results revealed the complex diversity of Methylobacterium in Mekong delta rice and that healthy and productive rice cultivation requires a proper balance of Methylobacterium. Moreover, three strains possessed the novel characteristics of inducing leaf bleaching and killing rice seedlings. Inoculation tests revealed that some strains exhibited plant growth-promoting activity. Sixty-one Methylobacterium strains belonging to seven species were predominantly isolated from the phyllosphere of rice cultivated in six Mekong delta provinces. are persistent colonizers of the rice plant and exert beneficial effects on plant growth and health. ![]() The Vietnamese Mekong delta is one of the largest rice-producing areas globally.
