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
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
In the spring of 2016 we collected root tips from A.pinsapo trees following the trunk to the superficial secondary roots. We excavated carefully to do not break or lose the mycorrhized fine roots, whi
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
