Rice Root-Associated Endophytic Microbiome in Correspondence To Different Levels of Salinity At Indian Sundarban Areas

Abstract The present study attempted to analyse rice root endogenous microbial diversity and their relationship with soil salinity and physicochemical factors in the salt stressed region of Sundarbans, India using amplicon metagenomics approaches. Our investigation indicates, the unique microbiome at slightly acidic nutrient enriched non-saline zone characterized by microbial genera that reported either having plant growth promotion (Flavobacterium, Novosphingobium and Kocuria) or biocontrol abilities (Leptotrichia) whereas high ionic alkaline saline stressed zone dominated with either salt-tolerant microbes or less characterized endophytes (Arcobacter and Vogesella). The number of genera represented by significantly abundant OTUs was higher at the non-saline zone compared to that of the saline stressed zone probably due to higher nutrient concentrations and the absence of abiotic stress factors including salinity. Physicochemical parameters like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were found significantly positively correlated with Muribaculaceae highly enriched at the non-saline zone. However, relative dissolved oxygen was found significantly negatively correlated with Rikenellaceae and Desulfovibrionaceae, enriched in the non-saline soil. This study gives a well resolved picture of microbial community composition impacted by salinity and other rhizospheric soil factors..
