Culturable endophytic microbial communities in the circumpolar grass, Deschampsia flexuosa in a sub‐ Arctic inland primary succession are habitat and growth stage specific
Summary Little is known about endophytic microbes in cold climate plants and how their communities are formed. We compared culturable putative endophytic bacteria and fungi in the ecologically important circumpolar grass, D eschampsia flexuosa growing in two successional stages of subarctic sand dun...
