The microbiomes of seven lichen genera reveal host specificity, a reduced core community and potential as source of antimicrobials
2019-10-01
Abstract excerpt
The High Andean Paramo ecosystem is a unique neotropical mountain biome considered a diversity and evolutionary hotspot. Lichens, which are complex symbiotic structures that contain diverse commensal microbial communities, are prevalent in Paramos. There they play vital roles in soil formation and mineral fixation. In this study we analyzed the microbiomes of seven lichen genera in two Colombian Paramos using 16S...
