pollutants [5, 11, 75]. In recent years, studies on application of degradation potential of bacteria have been carried out to increase the efficiency of this method. Special attention of researchers is focused on endophytic bacteria. These bacteria can promote the growth and development of plants and, consequently, increase their biomass. They may also affect the bioavailability of organic pollutants in the soil. An important advantage resulting from the application of this group of microorganisms to

Pitaya contains various types of polyphenols, flavonoid and vitamins which are beneficial for health and it is among the most important commercial tropical fruits worldwide. Endophytic bacteria might be beneficial for plant growth and yield. However, bacterial diversity in pitaya is poorly characterized. In this study, fruits of white and red pitayas from three different origins (Thailand, Vietnam and China) were chosen for endophytic bacteria diversity investigation by using Illumina HiSeq

endophytes, and these habitat-adapted endophytes can improve the stress tolerance of host plants (Rodriguez et al. 2008; Redman et al. 2011). Many investigations have reported that endophytic bacteria isolated from halophytes have profound effects on their host plants’ stress tolerance. For example, it was documented that the endophytic bacteria from Arthrocnemum macrostachyum could enhance the salt tolerance ability of the host plant (Navarro-Torre et al. 2017). Additionally, Hashem et al. (2016

). The identification of bacteria is done by biochemical tests and confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS. Seven genus and eleven species were isolated from the Great Nettle. They belong to the genera Bacillus, Escherichia, Pantoea, Enterobacter, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Paenibacillus. The majority of these bacteria were isolated from Tlemcen which makes this region the richest in endophytic bacteria compared to that harvested from Dellys. The results show also that the leaves are the most diversified in

analyzed by the t-test (Table I). According to the Chao diversity index, diversity in a group R was significantly higher than that in groups L and S (p < 0.05) (Fig. 2). In addition, the Shannon diversity index of a group R was significantly higher than that of groups L and S, and that of a group S was higher than that of group L (p < 0.05) (Fig. 3). At last, through PCA analysis, we found that there were significant differences in the composition of endophytic bacteria among three different groups

Abstract
Paeonia ostii is known for its excellent medicinal values as Chinese traditional plant. To date, the diversity of culturable endophytes associated with P. ostii is in its initial phase of exploration. In this study, 56 endophytic bacteria and 51 endophytic fungi were isolated from P. ostii roots in China. Subsequent characterization of 56 bacterial strains by 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis revealed that nine families and 13 different genera were represented. All the fungal strains
