Illumina-based Analysis of Endophytic Bacterial Diversity of four Allium species.

ABSTRACT: Allium species are popular vegetables in China and possess antifungal and antibacterial activities. This study aimed to compare the endophytic bacterial community in the four crucial Allium species in China, Chinese leek (CL), garlic (GA), onion (ON,) and Welsh onion (WO), using sequences of the V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. A total of 1,036,637 high-quality sequences and 719 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained across all libraries. A total of 20 phyla, 50 classes, 80 orders, 134 families, and 234 genera were identified. Among them, 18 OTUs and 19 genera were shared among the four Allium species. Proteobacteria (42.68%) and Bacteroidetes (20.18%) were the dominant phyla in CL, while one unclassified (>70%) was the dominant phyla in the other three Allium species
