High-Throughput Sequencing Analysis of the Endophytic Bacterial Diversity in Fruits of Red and White Pitayas from Three Different Origins

In this study, fruits of white and red pitayas from three different origins (Sing Buri, Thailand, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Yunnan, China) were chosen for endophytic bacteria diversity investigation by using Illumina HiSeq second-generation high-throughput sequencing technology. The aim of this work is to explore endophytic bacteria diversity in white and red pitayas from different origins. Identification of endophytic bacterial composition and diversity in pitayas might be useful for improving it production and quality.

本研究选取来自三个不同产地（泰国信武里府、越南胡志明市及中国云南）的白心火龙果与红心火龙果果实，采用Illumina HiSeq第二代高通量测序技术开展内生细菌多样性调查。本研究旨在探究不同产地火龙果的内生细菌多样性。明确火龙果内生细菌的组成与多样性，有助于提升其产量与品质。
