Hongos Micorrizicos Arbusculares Del Banano, Un Enfoque Con Ngs

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis constitutes a detailed literature review focused on the analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), with an emphasis on their presence in banana roots in a total of seven samples. Through their analysis and the implementation of the QIIME2-2023.5 platform, a study was designed to specifically identify and characterize the AMF associated with this plant. This work aims to provide a detailed methodology for the process and analysis carried out at QIIME, including the installation of the platform and sample preparation, as well as the interpretation of the results. This methodology obtained relevant data, such as the analysis of sample quality, alpha and beta diversity, and their contribution in different environmental contexts, which suggests the presence of a rich diversity of fungi. This work provides a comprehensive overview, highlighting the importance of QIIME as a valuable tool for analyzing the presence and structure of AMF communities, as it contributes to more accurate interpretations of microbial communities, laying the groundwork for future research in this area.
