Oracle: microbial communities of agricultural soils (Burkina Faso)
Soil samples and root samples (sorgho and cowpea) were collected in 80 different fields distributed across the Boussouma, Korsimoro and Yilou districts (Burkina Faso), with the goal to characterize the microbial communities associated with these traditional crops. As a first approach, shotgun sequencing, as well as 16S and ITS2 metabarcoding were used.
