Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 on the microbial community in the rhizosphere of lettuce under field conditions analyzed by whole metagenome sequencing. Rhizosphere high-throughput metagenome sequencing

To verify B. amyloliquefaciens as an environmentally compatible plant protective agent, its impact on the indigenous rhizosphere community was analyzed by metagenome approaches. Rhizosphere microbial communities of lettuce inoculated with B. amyloliquefaciens FZB42 and non-treated plants were profiled by high-throughput metagenome sequencing of whole community DNA.
