The two-step model for plant root microbiomes considers soil as the primary microbial source. Active selection of the plant’s bacterial inhabitants results in a biodiversity decrease toward roots. We
The objective of this study was to examine the presence and diversity of Archaea within mineral and ornithogenic soils from 12 locations across the Ross Sea region. Archaea were not abundant but DNA s
Illumina MiSeq sequencing was carried out after librar preparation from purified DNA using primers for V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA-gene. DNA libraries were sequenced using a 2x300 . DNA samples from two
