Tuber indicum microbiome - host tree and compartment effects

Truffle compartments were an important driver structuring the bacterial and fungal communities in the Tuber indicum cultivation China, more so than the host trees did. This study highlight for the first time the multiple interactions between bacteria and fungi associated with truffle cultivation, one of the most important edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms whose international market worths billions of dollars annually.

在中国的印度块菌（Tuber indicum）栽培体系中，块菌微生境隔间是塑造细菌与真菌群落的关键驱动因子，其调控作用显著强于宿主树木。本研究首次揭示了与块菌栽培相关的细菌与真菌间的多重互作关系；印度块菌作为全球最重要的可食用外生菌根食用菌之一，其国际市场年交易额高达数十亿美元。
