Metagenomic analysis of wild Kummerowia striata root nodules
This project aims to investigate the structural differences and nitrogen metabolism characteristics of endophytic bacterial communities in root nodules and rhizosphere bacterial communities of wild Kummerowia striata collected from Heilongjiang and Shandong provinces. Metagenomic sequencing was performed to reveal the composition, diversity, and functional potential of these bacterial communities, with a focus on key functional genes involved in nitrogen fixation and nitrogen cycling. The results will provide insights into the ecological adaptation of Kummerowia striata and its symbiotic bacteria, and offer a theoretical basis for the development of microbial fertilizers and sustainable agricultural practices.
