Microbial diversity and potential functional dynamics within the rhizocompartments of Dendrobium huoshanense.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Understanding the microbial diversity and potential functional dynamics within the rhizocompartments of Dendrobium huoshanense is crucial for unraveling the plant-microbe interactions that influence its medicinal properties.

Methods

This study is the first to characterize the microbiome associated with the rhizocompartments of D. huoshanense, including its cultivation medium, rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and root endosphere, using high-throughput sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis.

Results

Bacterial phylogenetic diversity was significantly higher in the endosphere than in the rhizosphere, while fungal α-diversity significantly decreased from the cultivation medium to the endosphere. Both bacterial and fungal niche widths decreased
