Environmental sample from endophytic microbiome of Pinus Pinaster
endophyte metagenome
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating forest disease present worldwide. In this study we analyzed the effects of the invasion of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the major pathogen causing PWD, on the endophytic microbiome of adult P. pinaster trees. Wood samples from trees with different degrees of PWD disease were collected at Arganil (site M) and Oliveira do Hospital (site A), Portugal. Endophytic bacteria were characterized by DGGE fingerprinting and barcoding.
