Abstract

We report the complete genome sequences of six bacterial strains isolated from a floating macrophyte, duckweed. These six strains, representing the six dominant families of the natural duckweed microbiome, establish a simple model ecosystem when inoculated onto sterilized duckweed. Their genomes would provide insights into community assembly in plant microbiome.

Keywords: microbial communities; plant-microbe interactions.
