Effects of single- and mixed-bacterial inoculation on the colonization and assembly of endophytic communities in plant roots.

ABSTRACT: The introduction and inoculation of beneficial bacteria in plants have consistently been considered as one of the most important ways to improve plant health and production. However, the effects of bacterial inoculation on the community assembly and composition of the root endophytic microbiome remain largely unknown. In this study, 55 strains were randomly isolated from tomato roots and then inoculated into wheat seeds singly or in combination. Most of the isolated bacterial strains showed an ability to produce lignocellulose-decomposing enzymes and promote plant growth. The results demonstrated that bacterial inoculation had a significant effect on the wheat root endophytic microbiome. The wheat root samples inoculated with single-bacterial species were significantly separated into two g
