Microcosm experiment.

<p><i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> load after 4 weeks inoculated in sand, sandy clay loam or clay with treatments in triplicate consisting of eight different fertilizers (Tables <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003635#pntd.0003635.t002" target="_blank">2</a> and <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003635#pntd.0003635.t003" target="_blank">3</a>), a water-only treatment and a control with no change. The y-axes are in log scale (+0.001) and represent the normalized <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> load with the ratio of TTS1 copy number over pt7 control plasmid numbers.</p

Results of the analysis on the occurrence of <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> on the experimental field site.

<p>The odds ratio refers to the ratio of the odds of <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> occurring in soil samples taken a year or more into the experiment from the treatment quadrants to the odds of <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> occurring in soil samples from the control quadrants.</p

Treatments applied to the experimental field site over three years.

Longitudinal occurrence of <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> (red line) on the experimental field site.

<p>The vertical blue lines indicate the start and end of the wet seasons. The y axis depicts the <i>B</i>. <i>pseudomallei</i> occurrence at total four holes per duplicate quadrants. The first measure was taken before treatments were applied.</p

Microcosm experiment treatments.

<p>Nine treatments used (plus control) which were each applied in triplicate to each soil type. Fertilizers were applied as per manufacturer’s instructions. All treatments were added with the same amount of water. Ingredients are listed based on package labelling.
