“…2a). The result of predominant phylum is almost consistent with a previous study, which also reported that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, Chloro exi, and Verrucomicrobia were enriched in the rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry [19]. communities of three blueberry varieties and bulk soil based on the relative abundances of predominant phyla.…”

“…For example, the number of bacteria a liated with Alphaproteobacteria in rhizosphere microbial communities of various plants increases [9,16,17]. However, the current studies on the rhizosphere microbiome are primarily on model plants, and relatively few studies related to blueberry have been carried out to explore the taxonomical and functional compositions of the blueberry rhizosphere microbial community [18], especially for the rhizosphere microbiome of different blueberry varieties [19].…”

“…Therefore, understanding the blueberry rhizosphere microbiome and comparing the differences in rhizosphere microbial communities of different blueberry varieties, including the universal microbiota (shared microbiota) between different kinds of blueberry varieties and speci c microbiota of each blueberry, are favorable to the cultivation and agricultural management of blueberries. However, only a few study has explored and illustrated the composition of rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry to date [34] and the compositions of blueberry rhizosphere microbial community remains elusive.…”

Background: Studies on the rhizosphere microbiome of various plants proved that rhizosphere microbiota carry out various vital functions, and can regulate the growth and improve the yield of plants. However, rhizosphere microbiome of commercial blueberry was only reported by a few study and remains elusive. Comparison and interpretation of the characteristics of rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry are remarkably important to maintain its health. Methods: Hence, we profiled the taxonomical, functional, and phenotypic compositions of rhizosphere microbial communities of 15 rhizosphere soil samples collected from three different blueberry varieties and five bulk soil samples, and compared our results with previous study focused on the rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry varieties. Results: Our results demonstrated significant differences in both alpha diversity and beta diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities of different blueberry varieties and bulk soil. The distribution patterns of taxonomical, functional, and phenotypic compositions of rhizosphere microbiome differ across the blueberry varieties. The rhizosphere microbial communities of three different blueberry varieties could be distinctly separated and 28 discriminative biomarkers were selected to distinguish these three blueberry varieties. Core rhizosphere microbiota for blueberry was identified, and it contained 201 OTUs, which were mainly affiliated with Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria. Moreover, the interactions between OTUs of blueberry rhizosphere microbial communities were explored by a co-occurrence network of OTUs from an ecological perspective. Conclusions: This pilot study explored the characteristics of blueberry’s rhizosphere microbial community, such as the beneficial microorganisms and core microbiome, and provided an integrative perspective on blueberry’s rhizosphere microbiome, which beneficial to blueberry health and production.

However, the rhizosphere microbiome of commercial blueberry was only reported by a few studies and remains elusive. Comparison and interpretation of the characteristics of the rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry are critical important to maintain its health. Results In this study, a total of 20 rhizosphere soil samples, including 15 rhizosphere soil samples from three different blueberry varieties and five bulk soil samples, were sequenced with a high-throughput sequencing strategy. Based on these sequencing datasets, we profiled the taxonomical, functional, and phenotypic compositions of rhizosphere microbial communities for three different blueberry varieties and compared our results with a previous study focused on the rhizosphere microbiome of blueberry varieties. Our results demonstrated significant differences in alpha diversity and beta diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities of different blueberry varieties and bulk soil.
