Sequencing the total and active microbiome of Populus tremuloides in the Utah, USA
This study conducted time-series sampling of the Populus tremuloides root/rhizosphere microbiome across the growing season in 2021 in a diverse range of sites in the Uinta Mountains in Utah, USA. Samples were subjected to DNA and RNA extractions followed by metabarcoding to profile both the total and active microbial communities. This research was funded by the U.S. DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research, Genomic Science Program as part of the Plant Microbe Interfaces Scientific Focus Area (http://pmi.ornl.gov). Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725.
