Metagenomics analysis of rhizospheric bacterial communities of Saccharum arundinaceum growing on organometallic sludge of sugarcane molasses-based distillery.

ABSTRACT: The present paper aims to explore the rhizospheric bacterial communities associated with Saccharum arundinaceum grown on organometallic pollutants-rich hazardous distillery sludge. The sequence analysis of 16S rRNA V3-V4 hypervariable region with Illumina MiSeq platform showed 621,897 OTUs derived from rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric distillery sludge samples out of 1,191,014 and 901,757 sequences read, respectively. The major phyla detected in rhizospheric sludge sample were Proteobacteria (50%), Bacteriodetes (33%), Firmicutes (5%) Gemmatimonadetes (2%), Chloroflexi (2%), and Tenericutes (2%). The dominant three genera were detected as Rheinheimera (21%), Sphingobacterium (17%), and Idiomarina (8%). In addition, othe
