interacting microbes together with the development of suitable microbial pairing
still require further experimental confirmation in order to achieve optimum benefits
of such natural resources. Future research should therefore strive hard toward an
improved understanding of the functional mechanisms behind such microbial
interactions, so that compatible organisms could be identified and applied as
effective inoculants within sustainable legume production systems.
