Niche specificity and functional diversity of the bacterial communities associated with Ginkgo biloba and Panax quinquefolius

Abstract Plant-associated bacteria can establish mutualistic relationships with plants to support plant health. Plant tissues represent heterogeneous niches with distinct characteristics and may thus host distinct microbial populations. The objectives of this study are to investigate the bacterial c...
