The endophytic microbiome inhabiting the phyllosphere of aquatic fern Azolla pinnata and Azolla imbricata

In this study, we cultivated two different species of Azolla, namely Azolla imbricata (Aim) and Azolla pinnata (Api), under identical condition to investigate their respective incidence rates. We also performed metagenome analysis based on phyllosphere microorganisms to uncover the interaction between Azolla and microorganisms.
