Diversity and structure of the root-associated bacterial microbiomes of four mangrove tree species, revealed by high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Root-associated microbes of the mangrove trees play important roles in protecting and maintaining mangrove ecosystems. At present, most of our understanding of mangrove root-related microbial diversity is obtained from specific mangrove species in selected geographic regions. Relatively little is known about the composition of the bacterial microbiota existing in disparate mangrove species microenvironments, particularly the relationship among different mangrove species in tropical environments.

Methods

We collected the root, rhizosphere soil, and non-rhizosphere soil of four mangrove trees (Acanthus ilicifolius, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Clerodendrum inerme, and Lumnitzera racemosa) and detected the 16S rRNA gene by a conventional PCR. We
