Characterization of endophytic bacteriome diversity and associated beneficial bacteria inhabiting a macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The endosphere of a plant is an interface containing a thriving community of endobacteria that can affect plant growth and potential for bioremediation. Eichhornia crassipes is an aquatic macrophyte, adapted to estuarine and freshwater ecosystems, which harbors a diverse bacterial community. Despite this, we currently lack a predictive understanding of how E. crassipes taxonomically structure the endobacterial community assemblies across distinct habitats (root, stem, and leaf).

Methods

In the present study, we assessed the endophytic bacteriome from different compartments using 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis and verified the in vitro plant beneficial potential of isolated bacterial endophytes of E. crassipes.
