Tobacco Root Endophytic <i>Arthrobacter</i> Harbors Genomic Features Enabling the Catabolism of Host-Specific Plant Specialized Metabolites

Abstract

Host secondary metabolites have a crucial effect on the taxonomic composition of its associated microbiota. It is estimated that a single plant species produces hundreds of secondary metabolites; however, whether different classes of metabolites have distinctive or common roles in the microbiota assembly remains unclear.
