Composition, Seasonal Dynamics and Metabolic Potential of the Rhizosphere Microbiome Associated with Wild White Poplar.

ABSTRACT: The white poplar (Populus alba) is a dioecious woody plant with significant potential for the phytoremediation of soils. To realize this potential, it is necessary to utilize growth-promoting microorganisms. One potential source of such beneficial microorganisms is the rhizosphere community of wild-growing trees. However, the structure, dynamics, and metabolism of the rhizosphere community of wild-growing white poplar remain poorly understood. To ascertain seasonal dynamics, species diversity, and metabolic potential, we sequenced 16S rRNA genes in metagenomes derived from 165 soil samples collected in spring and autumn from the root surfaces of 102 trees situated in disparate geographical locations. The three most prevalent phyla across all samples are Proteobacteria, Actinobacteri
