We describe for the first time the phylloplane bacterial communities of T. cacao. The Genotype CCN51, resistant to the witch's broom, has a greater diversity of bacterial microbioma in comparison to Catongo and a greater amount of exclusive microorganisms in the phylloplane with antagonistic action against phytopathogens.
