High content analysis of sea buckthorn, black chokeberry, red and white currants microbiota – A pilot study

摘要: The high potential of sea buckthorn, black chokeberry, red and white currants in healthy food industry boosted interest the plant cultivation. present study is first work providing comprehensive information on microbial populations these berries. Next Generation Sequencing allowed identification eukaryotic prokaryotic microorganisms prevalent specific berries, including uncultivable microorganisms. Our revealed broad diversity berries-associated bacterial fungal Analysis representative OTUs showed a clear separation among inhabitants chokeberry both currants, indicating plant-defined differences composition microbiota. Among distributed tested we documented potentially beneficial fungi bacteria along with phytopathogens or those harmful for humans. Thus, microbiota appears to be highly relevant evaluation impact quality human health.
