Abstract
The rhizosphere is a specific microbial habitat in the soil ecosystem. This is the area where soil swayed by plant roots through plant exudates deposition. Further, rhizosphere and root microbiota provide useful services to their host plant, such as protection from pathogen and enhanced mineral acquirement from nearby soil for plant growth. Microbial communities, usually, interact with each other and their host, so it is important to detain as much of the microbial diversity as possible. It requires the use of modern analytical tools such as metagenomics, which can reveal the functional potential of a rhizosphere microbiome.
