Abstract
⺠We inventoried bacterial communities of bryophytic soil crusts and associated mites. ⺠Diverse bacterial communities were associated with both crusts and mites. ⺠Mite and crust libraries shared 15 of 18 phyla, but only 20 OTUs0.03. ⺠We found 7 novel Rickettsiella and several potential symbionts. ⺠The bacteria of bryophytic BSCs are distinct from cyanobacterial BSCs and soils.
