Seed and root colonization of isolates selected to perform microcosm assays.

	Seed colonization	Root colonization
	(log CFU/seed)	Loosely attached	Strongly attached
		(log CFU/mg dwr)	(log CFU/mg dwr)
BNM296	6.65 ± 0.09^a	6.85 ± 0.33^a	6.9 ± 0.66^a
BNM297	6.63 ± 0.17^a	6.73 ± 0.14^a	6.65 ± 0.16^a
BNM340	5.73 ± 0.66^b	5.18 ± 1.20^b	4.74 ± 0.33^b

Mean ± SE values of three independent experiments. Means within columns followed by the same letters do not differ significantly, (P < 0.05) according to Tukey's multiple comparison test using the Infostat software.
