Bacterial populations on the surfaces of organic and conventionally grown almond drupes.

摘要: Aims To compare the bacterial populations on organically and conventionally grown almond drupes before after hull split. Methods Results We constructed 16S rRNA gene libraries, containing approx. 3000 sequences each, from bacteria split. We observed that split both were colonized by relatively few types of mostly common phyllosphere-associated Proteobacteria. However, contained significantly more Alphaproteobacteria Gammaproteobacteria. The also associated with phylum Actinobacteria. After split, we a significant increase in diversity, many newly appearing not normally phyllosphere. Conclusions Organic conventional growing methodologies influence results burst microbial diversification. Significance Impact Study Production organic produce is increasing due to consumer preferences, but it was unknown how this methodology affects drupes. This first study
