The aim of this paper wasto research the composition of ectomycorrhiza-associated fungal and bacterial communities in T.melanosporum oak plantations. Results of this paper showed the competitive effect of T. melanosporumon other fungal species, especially other mycorrhizal and pathogenic species. T. melanosporumwas shown to be associated mainly with bacteria, some of them important for their properties asmycorrhizal helper bacteria. A dendrogram analysis of co-occurrence showed that T. melanosporumtended to co-occur with the following bacteria species: Singulisphaera limicola, Nannocistis excedensand Sporosarcina globispora. In addition, it was linked to fungal species such as Mortierella elongata,M. minutissima, Cryptococcus uzbekistanensis, C. chernovii and C. aerius. This study provides anexhaustive analysis of the diversity, structure and composition of fungal and bacterial communitiesassociated with T. melanosporum to enhance understanding of the biology, composition and role ofthese communities in truffle plantations.
