“…Rhizospheric bacteria are living in the direct vicinity of the roots, and root-associated bacteria play important roles in mangrove ecosystem involving nitrogen fixation (Alfaro-Espinoza and Ullrich, 2015), nutrient acquisition (Holguin et al, 2001; Berendsen et al, 2012; Prakash et al, 2015), abiotic stress tolerance (Rout and Southworth, 2013), as well as production of regulators of plant growth and development such as auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins (Kaai et al, 2008). Additionally, the microbial communities associated with root also play an essential role in the matter cycle (for instance phosphorus, organic acids, and siderophores) and maintenance of the health of wetland ecosystem (Gomes et al, 2011; Zeng et al, 2014).…”
