High-throughput sequencing explores the genetic variability of endophytic bacteria in three Sichuan bamboo species (<i>Phyllostachys edulis</i>, <i>Bambusa rigida</i>, and <i>Pleioblastus amarus</i>).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bamboo is a sustainable and degradable resource for sustenance, high-strength cellulose microfibers, and synthetic fiber in China. Endophytic bacteria enhance root development and ethylene levels, benefiting the host plants' physiology.

Methods

We investigated the population, diversity, and abundance of endophytic bacteria in the leaves of three bamboo species-Phyllostachys edulis, Bambusa rigida, and Pleioblastus amarus-using high-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing.

Results and discussion

A total of 1,159 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained and further classified into 26 phyla, 64 classes, 158 orders, 270 families, 521 genera, and 811 species. The phyla with the highest abundance were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Myxo
