Ecological Processes of Bacterial and Fungal Communities Associated with Typha orientalis Roots in Wetlands Were Distinct during Plant Development.

ABSTRACT: Root-associated microbiomes are essential for the ecological function of the root system. However, their assembly mechanisms in wetland are poorly understood. In this study, we explored and compared the ecological processes of bacterial and fungal communities in water, bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, and root endosphere niches for 3 developmental stages of Typha orientalis at different wetland sites, and assessed the potential functions of root endosphere microbiomes with function prediction. Our findings suggest that the microbial diversity, composition, and interaction networks along the water-soil-plant continuum are shaped predominantly by compartment niche and developmental stage, rather than by wetland site. Source tracking analysis indicated that T. orientalis' root endos
