Effects of antimicrobial compounds on soil and rhizosphere microbial communities
This BioProject aims to investigate the effects of antimicrobial secondary metabolites produced by soil bacteria on microbial community structure and function in agricultural soils and the rhizosphere. We will use amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA and ITS) and shotgun sequencing to assess dose-dependent responses to antibiotics under both laboratory and field conditions. Our goal is to elucidate the ecological roles of these metabolites as modulators of microbial interactions and soil health.
