Coriaria myrtifolia
Coriaria myrtifolia
Coriaria myrtifolia is a plant traditionally not associated with any known medicinal or therapeutic practices. Scientific studies have explored its microbiome and symbiotic relationships, particularly focusing on bacterial associations. Research indicates that while Coriaria myrtifolia hosts specific bacterial groups in its root nodules, including various Frankia strains and non-Frankia actinobacteria, the presence of certain bacteria like Frankia cluster 2 was not detected beyond the immediate rhizosphere. The proteomes of Frankia from compatible host plants showed differential expression patterns, and a draft genome sequence of a Frankia strain isolated from C. myrtifolia root nodules has been reported. No significant safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

What the science says
- The study recovered various non-Frankia actinobacteria along with Frankia strains from C. myrtifolia root nodules, with some glnA1 sequences newly detected.
- The proteomes of Frankia soli NRRL B-16219 showed differential expression in response to root exudates from compatible and incompatible host plants.
- The study reports the draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain BMG5.30, isolated from Coriaria myrtifolia root nodules in Tunisia.
- The study found that while Coriaria myrtifolia phytomicrobiomes were dominated by specific bacterial groups, Frankia cluster 2 was not detected in soil metagenomes beyond the plant's rhizosphere.
