Abstract

We report 16S rRNA gene amplicon data for the microbiomes in selected alpine plants (genera Artemisia, Parnassia, and Phyllodoce) and lichens (genera Cladonia and a mixture of Miriquidica and Rhizocarpon) from Mt. Suisho, Japan. Most of these samples were dominated by Pseudomonadota, while some contained the rarely cultivated phylum Vulcanimicrobiota (Candidatus Eremiobacterota/WPS-2).

Keywords: alpine; lichen; microbiome; plant.
