Associative bacterial inhabitants, in nitrogen-fixing root nodules of host plant Datisca glomerata, Targeted Locus (Loci). root metagenome

To determine the presence and abundance of non-Frankia bacteria in nitrogen-fixing root nodules of the actinorhizal host, Datisca glomerata. The aim is to identify any possible helper microorganisms that might contribute to nodule symbiosis.
