16S rRNA Amplicon Profiling of Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) Flower and Berry Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial populations associated with the surfaces of cranberry flowers and early fruits in wetlands bogs in Eastern Massachusetts were examined using pyrosequencing. The composition of bacterial populations was highly dependent on sample site, but the dominant phyla on both flower and berry surfaces were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes.
