Structural and functional properties of bacterial communities associated with rootless duckweed (Wolffia globosa) and their effect on the Wolffia growth by Yuparat Saimee, Kousuke Kuwai, Hidehiro Ishizawa, Daisuke Inoue, Arinthip Thamchaipenet, Michihiko Ike

“…Results A co-cultivation experiment with axenic W. globosa and bacterial communities derived from various sources revealed varied effects, that municipal wastewater-derived bacterial communities had a more pronounced positive effect on growth of W. globosa compared to those from pond water. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing found that Beijerinckiaceae, Caulobacteraceae, Comamonadaceae, Methylophilaceae, Rhizobiaceae, and Sphingomonadaceae were consistently conserved and identified as core taxa in the Wolffia microbiome. Functional profiling indicated that genes related to bacterial colonization and adaptation to the rootless morphology contribute to selective microbiome recruitment, with enriched functions in motility, chemotaxis, flagella assembly, quorum sensing, and ABC transporters. …”
