Healthy plants host in their above and belowground organs taxonomically structured bacterial assemblies, and members of these communities contribute to plant growth and health. We established Arabidopsis leaf- and root-derived microbiota culture collections representing the majority of bacterial species that are reproducibly detectable by culture-independent community profiling.
Here we provide access to the library of sequenced genomes from the At-SPHERE culture collections from Arabidopsis leaves and roots.
Roots of different plant species are colonised by bacterial communities, that are distinct even when hosts share the same habitat. It remains unclear to what extent the host actively selects these communities and whether commensals are adapted to a specific plant species. To address this question, we assembled a sequence-indexed bacterial culture collection from roots and nodules of Lotus japonicus that contains representatives of most species previously identified using metagenomics.
Here we provide access to the library of sequenced genomes from the Lj-SPHERE culture collections from Lotus roots and nodules.
