[Objective] To explore the diversity of bacterial endophyte communities in the seeds of Palmae plants species.[Methods] We investigated and characterized bacterial endophytes communities in the seeds of 7 different plant species within Palmae, including Livistona chinensis, Trachycarpus fortuneii, Phoenix canariensis, Arenga engleri, P. roebelenii, Caryota mitis and Areca triandra, by a MiSeq high throughput sequencing method followed by bioinformatics analysis targeted at V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. [Results] We recovered a total of 2341-40671 V3-V4 valid sequences of 16S rRNA gene from the tested seeds, which clustered into 97-590 distinct operational taxonomic units (OTUs). And the Shannon index was calculated to be varying in the range from 1.35 to 2.94, with the highest detected from P. canariensis seed and the lowest form A. engleri seed. The results of taxonomic assignment showed that the total number of taxonomic taxa and population composition detected in different seeds was different. At the genus level, the genus Enterococcus belonging to Firmicutes was found to be the highest in total abundance across all seeds, followed by Bacillus belonging to the same bacterial phylum. The most dominant bacterial genera detected from the tested seeds were as follow:L. chinensis seed (Bacillus, 45.8%), T. fortuneii seed (Enterococcus, 51.2%), A. engleri seed (Enterococcus, 12.1%), C. mitis seed (Enterococcus, 32.6%) A. triandra seed (Enterococcus, 42.9%), P. roebelenii seed (Enterococcus, 28.3%), P. canariensis seed (Saccharopolyspora, 31.2%). And the sub-dominant bacterial genera were: Lactococcus (L. chinensis seed), Paenibacillus (T. fortunei seed, A. engleri seed, and A. triandra seed), Goodfellowiella (P. canariensis seed), Sphingomonas (P. roebelenii seed, and C. mitis seed). Furthermore, PICRUSt was used to determine potential functional profiles associated with the recovered sequences. Several KEGG orthology (KO) terms related to the human organs and human diseases were inferred from this analysis. In addition, the KO terms related to biosynthesis of terpenoids, polyketides, and glycan, as well as xenobiotics biodegradation showed relative high abundance in the predicted KO terms of the recovered sequences from each seed.[Conclusion] Seeds of Palmae plants colonize diverse bacterial endophytes, whose population compositions were different among the tested seeds. The bacterial endophyte communities of tested Palmae seeds consisted of many human-associated bacterial genera, and some potential functions related to human diseases were also included in the predicted KO terms of the seeds bacterial endophytes communities. Each tested seed also colonized some bacterial genera with beneficial function properties, being worth for further study.
