Heat map, relative abundance and total abundance of ribotypes (T-RF’s) present in the seeds of different rice cultivars after digestion with HaeIII. IR29 is a salt-sensitive cultivar, FL478, IC27, IC31 and IC32 are moderately salt-tolerant cultivars and IC37 is a highly salt-tolerant rice cultivar. T-RFs are on the left side of the heat map and the identities of the T-RFs were based on in-silico prediction of 16S rRNA sequences of isolates and clones from the study. The heat map is arranged according to decreasing overall abundance
