Bacterial diversity and community structure of banana rhizosphere in Orang Asli fields and commercial plantations

Bacteria play an important roles in the soil ecosystem and in the rhizosphere, they are intricately linked to nutrient content and its accessibility to plants, plant protection and sometimes pathogenicity. Banana grows well in the tropics and it is popularly grown in Orang Asli (OA) (indigenous pe...
