      abstract     = {The spatial variation and underlying mechanisms of pattern
                      formation in the rhizosphere microbiome are not well
                      understood. We demonstrate that specific patterns in the
                      distribution of recently fixed carbon within the plant root
                      system influence the spatial organization of the rhizosphere
                      microbiota. Non-invasive analysis of carbon allocation in
                      the maize root system by 11C tracer-based positron emission
                      tomography combined with magnetic resonance imaging reveals
                      high spatial heterogeneity with highest 11C-signal
                      accumulations at root tips and differences between root
                      types. Strong correlations exist between root internal
                      carbon allocation and rhizodeposition as evident from 13CO2
                      labeling. These patterns are reflected in the bacterial,
                      fungal and protistan community structure in rhizosphere soil
                      with differences depending on root structure and related
                      spatial heterogeneities in carbon allocation. Especially the
                      active consumers of 13C-labeled rhizodeposits are responsive
                      to photosynthate distribution with differences in
                      13C-labeling according to their spatial localization within
                      the root system. Thus, root photosynthate allocation
                      supports distinct habitats in the plant root system and is a
                      key determinant of microbial food web development, evident
                      from 13C-labeling of diverse bacterial and protistan
                      predators, especially at root bases, resulting in
                      characteristic spatiotemporal patterns in the rhizosphere
