Characterization and comprehensive analysis of the ecological interaction networks of bacterial communities in Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis by 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding

This study revealed endophytic bacterial groups of importance toP. cupana and stressed that the host plant organ modulates the structure and interactions within this community. Our results indicated that the microbial community adapted to colonizeP. cupana by adjusting to its composition and interaction network. The isolation of abundant and super-generalist bacterial genera shall help to examine their functionality to the composition and fitness of the endophytic community ofP. cupana.
