Abstract: The present application relates to plant growth promoting microbes (PGPMs), compositions comprising these PGPMs and methods of using these PGPMs and/or compositions for enhancing plant health, plant growth and/or plant yield, and/or for preventing, inhibiting, or treating the development of plant pathogens or the development of phytopathogenic diseases. This application also provides non-naturally occurring plant varieties that are artificially infected with a PGPM descried herein, as well as seed, reproductive tissue, vegetative tissue, regenerative tissues, plant parts, or progeny thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated plant growth promoting microbes (PGPMs), isolated cultures of these PGPMs and compositions comprising same, including compositions comprising plants or parts thereof, particularly seeds. The present invention further relates to methods of using these isolated PGPMs, isolated cultures and compositions comprising same for enhancing plant health, plant growth and/or plant yield.

Abstract: In alternative embodiments, the invention provides computational algorithms, computer programs, software and other methods, systems and products of manufacture (e.g., computers, devices or apparatus) for identifying members of microbial communities, their abundance and distribution from amplicon sequence data, and comparing microbial communities and consortia. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides computer-implemented methods comprising a subset of, substantially all, or all of the steps as set forth in the flow chart of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 or FIG. 4. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods for identification of consortia, optionally followed by construction of artificial microbial consortia from pure strains or enrichment cultures. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides compositions, fluids, bioreactors, muds, reservoirs or products of manufacture comprising a synthetic microbial consortium made by the method of the invention.

Abstract: The present application provides a computational procedure that receives metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence reads. Briefly, the computational procedure comprises masking or removal of low-complexity, highly conserved and vector sequences; read mapping using homology searches to a database comprising genomes; post-processing the search results to identify organisms that are present in the data and remove false positives. Functional annotation are propagated from the mapped genomes. The output comprises inferred mapping of input reads to organisms, genes and functions of the reference database.
