Abstract

Culturable microbiota associated with the seagrass Posidonia oceanica from the Western Mediterranean coast was identified and characterized, in order to determine if certain bacterial species can be related and/or contribute to health status of the meadows. The most abundant genera recovered from rhizome, roots and leaves, according to 16S rDNA sequencing, were Vibrio spp., Pseudoalteromonas spp., and Marinomonas spp. A preliminary screening of selected strains for a phytopathogenicity trait, the hypersensitive response on tobbaco leaves, was not successful. The most remarkable finding was that isolates of Pseudoalteromonas spp. were the most abundant ones in the meadows with the highest seagrass mortality rate, which suggests a putative contribution of these bacteria to the meadow decline.
