Sphingomonas sp. UNC305MFCol5.2 Genome sequencing and assembly

This is a reference bacterial genome from a study to characterize how plant host genes affect the microbiome community assemblage and how the microbiome influences plant phenotypes, such as drought or salt tolerance, nutrient use, productivity, pathogen resistance, and yield. Plant-associated metagenomes are being characterized by 16S ribotyping, metagenome and reference genome sequencing and metatranscriptome sequencing. Experimental systems used to characterize the interplay between host and associated communities in different plant types have been chosen to be relevant to energy and environmental concerns, for example, Arabidopsis as a model, corn, and a key biofuel crop (Miscanthus).

本数据集包含一份参考细菌基因组，其源自一项旨在解析植物宿主基因如何调控微生物组群落组装，以及微生物组如何影响植物表型的研究；该研究覆盖的植物表型包括耐旱性、耐盐性、养分利用效率、生产力、病原菌抗性与产量。针对植物关联微生物组的表征工作，将通过16S核糖体分型（16S ribotyping）、宏基因组（metagenome）测序、参考基因组测序以及宏转录组（metatranscriptome）测序等技术手段完成。为解析不同植物类型中宿主与关联微生物群落的互作机制，研究选取了契合能源与环境领域关切的实验体系，例如模式植物拟南芥、玉米，以及关键生物燃料作物芒草（Miscanthus）。
