A Meta-Analysis Approach to Defining the Culturable Core of Plant Endophytic Bacterial Communities.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic bacteria are key members of the plant microbiome, which phylogenetic diversity has been widely described through next-generation sequencing technologies in the last decades. On the other side, a synopsis of culturable plant endophytic bacteria is still lacking in the literature. However, culturability is necessary for biotechnology innovations related to sustainable agriculture, such as biofertilizer and biostimulant agents' development. In this review, 148 scientific papers were analyzed to establish a large data set of cultured endophytic bacteria, reported at the genus level, inhabiting different compartments of wild and farmed plants, sampled around the world from different soil types and isolated using various growth media. To the best of our knowledge, this work provides t
