Microbiomes associated with saxicolous lichens inhabiting montane rocks in western Japan by Zichen He, Qi Liu, Takeshi Naganuma

“…Comparison with the previously studied microbiomes of the Antarctic and Alpine saxicolous lichens, consisting of other Umbilicaria and Trebouxia species, showed a distinct separation among the lichen-associated microbiomes from Japan, Antarctica, and Alpine. The clearly identified biomarker OTUs at the phylum rank were affiliated with Acidobacteriota and Planctomycetota for Japan, Actinomycetota and Bacteroidota for Antarctica, and Pseudomonadota for Alpine based on relative V3–V4 abundances (and thus variable depending on V3–V4 sources). …”
