Background: The evolutionary relationships between plants and their microbiome are of high importance to the survival of plants in extreme conditions. Changes in microbiome of plants can affect plant development, growth and health. Along the arid Arava, southern Israel, acacia trees ( Acacia raddiana and Acacia tortilis ) are considered keystone sp...

... In our study, the major differences between epiphytic and endophytic bacterial communities were due to the differential abundance of four major unclassified OTU's belonging the bacterial families of Bacillaceae (Firmicutes phylum) and Comamonadaceae (Betaproteobacteria phylum) for the endophyte of A. raddiana and A. tortilis, respectively (Fig. 8). Other unclassified OTU's belonging to the bacterial families of Geodematophilaceae and Micrococcaceae (both belonging to Actinobacteria phylum) were found in the epiphyte bacterial communities (Fig. 8). These bacterial families were also found in other studies investigating extreme conditions that investigated the metagenomic ...

These bacterial families were also found in other studies investigating extreme conditions that investigated the metagenomic signatures of Tamarix phyllosphere [10,42,43] and other desert shrubs [7], highlighting the importance and the relationship of these found bacterial communities in desert plants adaptation to arid environment ...

Root nodules offer habitat not only for Rhizobium also for a wide variety of endophytic bacteria that have a positive impact on growth and nutrient status of the plant. To evaluate this statement, the present study was aimed to reveal the cultivable Rhizobium (R) and passenger endophytes (PE) of groundnut nodule and explored their impact on plant g...
