Microbial profile of the rhizosphere compartment of grapevines grown five months in a greenhouse, under untreated, mycorrhized, bacterized, and mycorrhized-bacterized conditions. (A) MALDI-TOF MS identification of the top ten most abundant rhizobacteria, associated with the Simpson’s Diversity and Shannon indexes (n = 150). The less abundant genera were grouped in ‘Others’. (B) Venn diagram illustrating the overlap of the identified genera. (C) Cultivable dependent methods analysis related to the level of cultivable bacteria and fungi, and to the mycorrhizal associations with roots under microscopic observations. (D) Molecular dependent methods analysis related to the extracted DNA associated with the number of gene copies (i.e., 18S, archaeal and bacterial 16S). Different letters indicate that the groups have a mean difference that is statistically significant (P < 0.05).
