Our new paper on the bacteriome of the only strictly epiphytic gymnosperm

Philip Bell-Doyon and our colleagues just published a recent paper on the coralloid root of Zamia pseudoparasitica. Using a combination of Sanger-sequencing, 16S metagenomics and whole-genome sequencing, we have elucidated the bacteriome of this Panamanian endemic species. One hundred and sixty‐five amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were found in at least two of our 27 samples amplified for 16S. Nostocales, Rhizobiales, and Acetobacterales were the three most diverse and abundant orders o...
