FHIA 18 banana cultivar

Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of endophytic bacteria isolated from banana cultivars in the Amazon

A. Souza, Nogueira, V. B., Cruz, J. C., Sousa, N. R., Procópio, A. R. L., and Silva, G. F., Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of endophytic bacteria isolated from banana cultivars in the Amazon, vol. 14. pp. 9932-9938, 2015.

Endophytic microorganisms colonize plants, inhibit the growth of pathogens (by competing for nutrients and/or space), or produce antagonistic substances. Fifty-five endophytic bacteria were isolated from the leaf tissue of the FHIA 18 banana cultivar. Genetic diversity analyses were performed using the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence polymerase chain reaction method and BOX molecular markers. These analyses resulted in 33 and 21 polymorphic bands, respectively.
