Microbiomes of soil and roots of two palm species infected with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma palmae’ in two different ecosystems: Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis

During last 5 years for the first time phytoplasmas have been detected in the two native palm species Brahea brandegeei and Washingtonia robusta, in two different ecosystems, urban (El Centenario) and their natural habitat (Sierra de las Cacachilas) in Mexico. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis technique was implemented for preliminary analysis of mixed bacterial microbiomes in soil and roots of these two palm species and preliminary data are presented.
