The fact that the authors focused their studies on diazotrophs presumes that the biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is key to the mechanism of plant growth promotion by the microorganisms they tested
By conducting additional analysis of their data, we find the striking result that rates of acetylene reduction in pure culture presented by Kifle and Laing (2016a) show a strong positive relationship with two metrics of plant health measured in their greenhouse experiment: chlorophyll content (Figure 1A) and stomatal conductance (Figure 1B)
