16S rRNA gene sequence from rhizosphere soil of cucumber

The microbes associated with plant roots plays a crucial role in plant growth and health. The Streptomyces biocontrol agents of Act12 and D74 had been proved with a strong effect of plant biomass promotion and stress resistance. However, the effects of Streptomyces biocontrol agents on the rhizosphere microbiome remain unclear. The aim of this study was to unravel the variation of rhizosphere microbiome induced by Streptomyces application. A pot experiment planted with cucumber was setup in this study, the composition and function of microbiome in root rhizosphere between soil with and without Streptomyces inoculation were compared by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
