The Endophytic Bacterial Microbiota Associated with Sweet Sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i>) Is Modulated by the Application of Chemical N Fertilizer to the Field

<div>(a) Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprints of <i>nifH</i> gene fragments amplified from endophytic DNA templates isolated from sweet sorghum plants grown under high (+) and low (−) N fertilization levels (100 and 0 kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>, respectively). Numbers indicate the excised bands from which sequences were determined. (b) Dendrogram obtained using the unweighted pair group method with mathematical averages and DICE similarity coefficients. Grey and black squares: high and low nitrogen fertilization levels, respectively. L and U: lower and upper stem parts, respectively.</div>
