The impact of genetic modified Ma bamboo on soil microbiome.

ABSTRACT: Evaluating the potential alteration of microbial communities is a vital step for biosafety of genetic modified plants. Recently, we have produced genetic modified Ma bamboo with increased cold and drought tolerance by anthocyanin accumulation. In this work, we aim to study the potential effects on microbial communities in rhizosphere soils during the cultivation of genetic modified bamboo. Rhizosphere and surrounding soil were collected at 3-month post-transplant. The amplicon (16S rDNA and ITS1) were sequenced for analysis of bacterial and fungal communities. Multiple software and database (Picrust2, FAPROTAX and FUNGulid) were applied to predict and compare the microbial functions involving basic metabolisms, nitrogen usage and presence of plant pathogens. There were no substantial chang
