Cayo M., Solís-Cornejo F., Santos A., Zamorano P., Valenzuela B., The Abundance and Distribution of the acdS Gene in Microbial Communities from the Rhizosphere of Copiapoa solaris, a Native Cactus in the Arid Coastal Region of Antofagasta, Chile, Microorganisms, 2025, 13(7):1547, doi: 10.3390/microorganisms13071547
The analysis of soil metagenomes near Copiapoa solaris roots compares three sites in the coastal Atacama. It describes microbial composition and the occurrence of the acdS gene encoding ACC deaminase, taking moisture conditions and potential mobile elements into account.
