Environmental filtering and host identity collectively shape root-associated microbiomes of Ericaceae and ectomycorrhizal plants in fumarole fields

Akifumi Murata, Mikihito Noguchi, Ibuki Hayashi, Keitaro Fukushima, Hirokazu Toju

Few root-associated microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in Japanese fumarole fields prefer both a habitat and a host; most specialize on one axis, and Hyaloscyphaceae preferences lack significant phylogenetic signal.
