Pyrosequencing Reveals the Structure and Functional Traits in a Coastal Halophyte Microbiome.
Soil and plant-associated microbes are always, if not all, of great importance for improving host fitness. Current knowledge of microbiome in salt circumstances, however, is largely lacking. As a step in this direction, the microbial communities capable of prospering in the bulk soils (BS), rhizosphere soils (RS), root endosphere (R), leaf endosphere (L) and seed endosphere (SD) of Suaeda salsa, a widely distributed halophyte in China's east coast, was investigated using platform of 454 pyrosequencing.
