Root microbiome response to TWW irrigation
We compared soil and root microbiomes of two different plant species (tomato and lettuce), each grown in two distinct soils, and irrigated with either freshwater (FW) or treated wastewater (TWW). Microbial community composition was characterized using high-throughput sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicons (total community) and 16S rRNAs derived from ribosomes (active community).
