"After quality control and chloroplast or mitochondrial sequences removal, a total of 530,608 bacterial sequences and 2,442,189 fungal sequences were obtained from 24 samples. These sequences were assigned to 636 bacterial OTUs and 718 fungal OTUs, respectively." - Lin et al., 2022, Distribution pattern of endophytic bacteria and fungi in tea plants.
"The remaining phyla viz., Cyanobacteria (blue green algae), Ascomycota and Basidiomycota (fungi) were less prominent in the metagenomes of GPU and UM" - Prasannakumar et al., 2020, Metagenome sequencing of fingermillet-associated microbial consortia provides insights into structural and functional diversity of endophytes.
"a total of 90.9 million reads from 16S and 86.8 million reads from ITS were clustered at ≥97% sequence identity using UPARSE. After processing, a total of 23,811 bacterial and 11,727 fungal operational taxonomy units (OTUs) were recovered." - Soares Correa de Souza et al., 2016, Unlocking the bacterial and fungal communities assemblages of sugarcane microbiome
Going with 70-80% Fungi, 20-30% Bacteria/Archaea and 0.5-2% Plasmids/Circular DNA/Virus
Find some articles describing the found endophyte ratios. Otherwise, go with 70-80% fungi, 20-30% bacteria. Then dilute these for the abundance of P. zijinensis
