A group from Centre for Plant Protection and Biotechnology from Valencian Institute of Agricultural Sciences (IVIA), Moncada, València, Spain, etc. has reported about potentially host-beneficial microbes for Citrus.

The citrus microbiota was dominated by either the genera Pseudomonas (ranging from 4.0 % to 20.3 %), by the yet uncultured candidate orders WD2101 (2.2–6.4 %) and iii1–15 (2.4–6.1 %), or by the genera Streptomyces (0.5–4.7 %).
The next most abundant phylotypes were from the families Pirellulaceae (1.9–3.5 %) and Rhizobiaceae (1.1–3.3 %).
After these phylotypes, the families Cytophagaceae and Pseudomadaceae and the genera Sphingomonas and Pirellula represented from 0.4 % to 2.4 % of the total rhizospheric bacterial community associated with citrus trees.
This information allowed selection of potentially host-beneficial bacteria to mine for agricultural probiotics in future biotechnological applications required for the citrus industry.
