Evaluation of microbial communities in peels of Brazilian tropical fruits by amplicon sequence analysis.

Elucidation of the distinctive microbial taxonomic profiles of tropical fruit peels is the indispensable component of investigations aimed at the detection of microorganisms responsible for the post-harvest loss. The objective of the present work was to dissect the bacterial and fungal community of five tropical fruit peels (banana, guava, mango, papaya, and passion fruit) in wild (non-cultivated) and conventionally produced samples from Brazil. To that end, 16S rRNA-encoding gene and ITS rDNA amplicon analysis of the five tropical fruit peels were performed to discriminate the bacterial and fungal communities, respectively.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores host bacteria that affect nutrient biodynamics and biocontrol of soil-borne plant pathogens.

The aim of this research was to isolate and characterize bacteria from spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We designated these bacteria 'probable endobacteria' (PE). Three bacterial strains were isolated from approximately 500 spores of Gigaspora margarita (Becker and Hall) using a hypodermic needle (diameter, 200 μm).
