      abstract     = {Inter-laboratory replicability is crucial yet challenging
                      in microbiome research. Leveraging microbiomes to promote
                      soil health and plant growth requires understanding
                      underlying molecular mechanisms using reproducible
                      experimental systems. In a global collaborative effort
                      involving five laboratories, we aimed to help advance
                      reproducibility in microbiome studies by testing our ability
                      to replicate synthetic community assemblyexperiments. Our
                      study compared fabricated ecosystems constructed using two
                      different synthetic bacterial communities, the model grass
                      Brachypodium distachyon, and sterile EcoFAB 2.0 devices. All
                      participating laboratories observed consistent
                      inoculum-dependent changes inplant phenotype, root exudate
                      composition, and final bacterial community structure where
                      Paraburkholderia sp. OAS925 could dramatically shift
                      microbiome composition. Comparative genomics and exudate
                      utilization linked the pH-dependent colonization ability
                      ofParaburkholderia, which was further confirmed with
                      motility assays. The study provides detailed protocols,
                      benchmarking datasets, and best practices to help advance
                      replicable science and inform future multi-laboratory
                      reproducibility studies.},
