### Correlation Between Wild-Simulated Ginseng Growth Characteristics and Soil Microbial Communities
Also, the production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase is able to enhance plant growth [112]. These beneficial bacteria can be biological control agents of pathogens as a mechanism of competition for nutrients [113], antibiosis [114; 115], lytic enzymes [116], and the induction of systematic resistance [117; 118]. In addition to bacteria, research is being actively conducted for ginseng growth through various microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) [119; 120]. The selection of an optimal site for the cultivation of WSG is important because WSG is grown without the use of pesticides and fertilizer in the mountains for a long period [91].
