“…In general, the phylum Ascomycota predominated in the tissues of Utricularia jamesoniana , a pattern consistent with earlier findings in other carnivorous plants belonging to the same botanical family (Rueda-Almazán et al, 2021). Particularly noteworthy is that a substantial proportion, approximately 45%, of the fungal genera were present in both the traps and leaves.…”

“…The fungal classes with the highest relative abundance were Dothideomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, and Agaricomycetes, which aligns with the fungal community structure described for other carnivorous plants of the same family (Rueda-Almazán et al, 2021). Within Dothideomycetes, the most abundant ASVs were unclassified members of Mycosphaerellaceae and Cladosporiaceae, while Colletotrichum, Aspergillus , and Thanatephorus were the most abundant genera within Sordariomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, and Agaricomycetes, respectively.…”

“…Particularly noteworthy is that a substantial proportion, approximately 45%, of the fungal genera were present in both the traps and leaves. This observation underscores the notion that certain endophytic fungi can colonize diverse tissues within the same plant organism effectively (Wu et al, 2013; Behie et al, 2015; Rueda-Almazán et al, 2021).…”

“…In the present investigation, we identified distinct groups of genuine endophytes, such as Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum , and Mycosphaerellacea. These groups have previously been isolated from both leaves and traps in other carnivorous plant species (Quilliam and Jones, 2010; Glenn and Bodri, 2012; Lee et al, 2014; Naseem and Kayang, 2018; Rueda-Almazán et al, 2021). However, some genera were exclusive to either the traps or leaves.…”

Utricularia jamesoniana, a small epiphytic plant found in wet tropical forests, stands out for its carnivorous habit, intricate trap system, and small but beautiful and complex flowers. This species remains relatively understudied despite its wide geographical distribution and curious adaptations. In this study, we employed 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing to compare the prokaryotic and fungal communities within leaves and traps ofU. jamesoniana. The analysis of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) unveiled notable differences in community composition depending on the plant tissue and type of microorganism. Prokaryotic communities predominantly comprised Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota, featuring genera such asAcidocella, Bradyrhizobium, Ferritrophicum, andFerrovum. Fungal communities were dominated by Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, encompassing representatives of Dothideomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, and Agaricomycetes, as well as ASVs related to Mycosphaerellaceae,Colletotrichum, Aspergillus, andThanatephorus. We determined that the prokaryotic diversity has higher in the bladders with respect to the leaves. Fungal communities, in turn, were more diverse in leaves than in bladders. This study sheds light on the microbial communities associated with this carnivorous epiphyte and provides valuable insights into the intricate relationships between the plant and its microbial inhabitants across different tissues.

“…Particularly, fungi Ochroconis cordanae and Rasamsonia were the potential biomarkers with the highest enrichment in the leaf and the root compartments, respectively. In fact, O. cordanae was introduced by Giraldo et al ( 49 ), having been isolated from plant leaves, and most Ochroconis species isolated from leaves were plant pathogens ( 50 ). The genus Rasamsonia , belonging to fungal family Trichocomaceae, order Eurotiales, was similarly identified as a rhizospheric biomarker in two recent studies ( 51 , 52 ).…”
