Summary

The data document the results of several microbe bioassays performed by the USGS on Phragmites australis plants, including those performed on mature leaves, seedlings, and dead leaf tissues exploration of the literature to find accounts of microbes associated with Phragmites worldwide. For the bioassays, we prepared 162 pure cultures isolated from Phragmites plants in North America along the east coast, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes area, 125 of which were from a previous study, and 38 represent new collections. The DNA sequences used to identify the 37 new collections are included. Microbes were isolated from plants collected from 2015-2018. We performed assays using both North American plant lineages (Phragmites [...]

Purpose

The bioassays were performed to characterize which of 162 microbes were pathogens, endophytes and saprophytes on mature Phragmites australis leaves and seedlings, so that future research could focus on a small subset of species and develop them into Phragmites-specific biocontrol agent(s). Assays involving both plant lineages were included to detect potential host-specific interactions between microbe and plant, so that only the invasive subsp. australis would be subject to biocontrol. The list of microbial species reported in the literature was compiled in order to establish correlations between microbe species and plant behavior, such as the invasive growth of Phragmites australis subsp. australis in North America, and with reed die-back in Europe, and to obtain a rough estimate of how much of the Phragmites microbiome was included in the 162 isolates.
