- Association Craurococcus was significantly more prevalent in twisted trunks.
- Association Phaeosphaeria was significantly more prevalent in twisted trunks.
- Association Epichloë was significantly more prevalent in twisted trunks.
- Association Dechloromonas was less prevalent in twisted trunks.
- Observation Metabolites differed between straight and twisted trunks in four named pathways.
- Association Compounds were linked to certain endophyte bacterial species.
