Root microbiome of Arabidopsis plants with altered phosphate starvation response

The root bacterial microbiome of Arabidopsis thaliana was profiled, via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Plants were grown in either a previouly characterizes wiled soil or in gnotobiotic plate conditions with a 35 bacteria synthetic community. Root endophytic comparment of wild-type plants and isogenic mutants was charachterized. For the synthetic community experiments, different phosphate levels in the media were used.
