title: 16S rRNA of the root of manggrove species: Lumnitzera racemosa, replicate 5
design: The endosphere fraction (root) was pre-homogenized before the DNA extraction by bead beating for 1 minute (Mini Beadbeater, Jingxin, and Shanghai). Approximately 0.5 g root, rhizosphere, and non-rhizosphere soil with five replicates were used for DNA extraction. The total DNA for each sample was then extracted using the MoBio PowerSoil DNA isolation kit following the manufacturers protocol.
