Effects of Salinity on Assembly Characteristics and Function of Microbial Communities in the Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere of Salt-Tolerant Avicennia marina Mangrove Species.

ABSTRACT: It is of great significance to explore the structure and salinity response of microbial communities in salt-tolerant plants to understand the mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions. Herein, we investigated the phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbial communities of Avicennia marina, a pioneer salt-tolerant plant, at three sites with different salinities in the coastal intertidal zone. The results showed that salinity had different effects on phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbial communities and had a greater impact on bacterial communities and bacterial network interactions. The rhizosphere bacterial community alpha diversity significantly increased with increasing salinity. Moreover, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria decreased significantly, while that of Bacteroidota
