Bacteria communities across four mangrove root-associated compartments

Bacteria communities varied across four root-associated compartments of mangrove. To better investigate diverse microbial interactions in a fine-cale of root, we collected 12 individual mangrove saplings, and divided their root-associated samples into four compartments: non-rhizosphere soil (Non), rhizosphere soil (Rhi), root episphere (Epi) and root endosphere (Endo).
