Common Names: black alder, European alder
Scientists sequenced the genome of a bacteria called RTGN2 found in root nodules. The genome is 9.5 million base pairs long, composed of 187 contigs, and has a high GC content of 71.2%. This information may be relevant for studying bacterial ecology and symbiotic interactions in plants.
Soil salinity affects microbiota diversity in the roots of European alder. Salinity drives endophytic microbiota, while soil fungi determine ectomycorrhizal symbiosis. Absorptive root length and fungal abundance decrease with increasing salinity.
The scientists sequenced the genome of a bacterial endophyte called camponoti RTGN1, found in root nodules from Saltwell Park, UK. The genome is 11.9 Mbp in size, with 147 contigs, and has a GC content of 70.9%. Care about this to understand the genetic characteristics and potential functions of this endophyte.
