and G. repens, suggesting that di- and tetraploid individuals exist. Host-Microbiome Interactions Genlisea traps host a microbe community of bacteria (dominant species consisting of anaerobic clostridium sp. and pectolytic dickeya sp.), green algae, microbial fungi, protists of SAR group, and minute metazoans. Through extensive research, the trap's bacterial community has been discovered as serving the ecological importance of being prey due to Genlisea plants relying on the digestive enzymatic systems from microbes in order to aid their own carnivorous digestion.
