Effects of cadmium accumulation on the structure and co-occurrence network of endophytic bacterial community in Blumea balsamifera by CHEN Jiaojiao, REN Jianguo, WANG Junli*

“…Additionally, the indices of richness and diversity of endophytic bacteria for each organ under Cd2 treatment were superior to those under Cd0.(3)At the phylum level, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota and Firmicutes were the dominant bacterial phyla in all the organs for both treatments; at the genus level, Delftia was the main bacterial genus with the relative abundance ranged from 53.0% to 92.7% and 57.1% to 89.2% in the plant organs of Cd0 and Cd2, respectively; certain similarities existed among the endophytic bacterial community structures of root, stem and leaf of B. balsamifera, and Cd2 increased the proportion of mutual endophytic bacterial genera in root, stem and leaf and that of unique endophytic ones in each organ(except for the root).(4)Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size(LEfSe)analysis showed that there existed the differences on endophytic bacterial genera residing in different organs within the same treatment and also the same organ between treatments.(5)Redundancy analysis(RDA)showed that the contents of rhizosphere soil Cd and plant organ Cd were significantly correlated with the composition of endophytic bacterial community.(6)Co-occurrence network analysis clarified that cadmium accumulation in B. balsamifera complicated the interaction network of endophytic bacteria occurring in root and leaf, and enhanced the competition among endophytic bacterial species in root and stem, and the symbiosis in leaf. …”
