- Observation Wheat roots in dark loam from Swedes Flat had the greatest endophyte diversity and colonization.
- Observation Wheat roots in water-repellent sand from Western Flat had the lowest endophyte diversity and colonization.
- Observation Mycobacterium was predominant at Swedes Flat at 21.02%.
- Observation Streptomyces was predominant in Red Loam at 14.35%.
- Observation Kitasatospora was predominant in Western Flat at 15.02%.
- Association Soils with more indigenous organisms supported wheat roots with greater actinobacterial diversity and colonization.
- Method / resource 16S clone sequencing confirmed actinobacterial diversity and identified Mycobacterium and Streptomyces species.
