Abstract
AbstractNative plants in extreme environments may harbor some unique microbial communities with particular functions to sustain their growth and tolerance to harsh conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities profiles in some native plants and samples of the Moroccan phosphate mine ecosystem by assessing the percentages of taxonomic identification using six hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA. The rhizosphere of the three wild plants in the Moroccan phosphate mine is characterized by interesting bacterial diversity including Proteobacteria (62.24%, 71.15% and 65.61%), Actinobacteria (22.53%, 15.24%, 22.30%), Bacteroidetes (7.57%; 4.23%; 7.63%), and Firmicutes (5.82%; 1.17%; 2.83%). The bulk phosphate mine samples were dominated by Actinobacteria with average relative abundance of 97.73% that are different from those inferred in the rhizosphere samples of the native plants. The regions V3, V4 and V67 performed better in the taxonomic profiling at different taxonomic levels. Results indicated that both plant genotype and mainly soil conditions may be involved in the shaping of bacterial diversity. Such indication was also confirmed by the prediction of functional profiles that showed enrichment of many functions related to biological nitrogen fixation in the rhizosphere of native plants and the stress related functions in the bulk phosphate mine in comparison with the wheat rhizosphere samples.
