Diversity of the mycorrhizosphere bacterial communities
Metagenomic DNA was extracted from 6 soil cores, spatially distant, collected in the experimental site of Breuil-Chenue (France) and used to amplify a portion of the 16S rRNA gene sequence. The data generated were analyzed by bioinformatics.
In order to determine the structure and the diversity of the mycorrhizophere associated bacterial communities, pyrosequencing was applied using 16S rRNA tags. The sequences generated were then compared to the global rhizosphere and the surrounding soil.
