Seagrass which evolved from terrestrial plants into marine species plays a vital important role in plant evolution. Although seagrass plays a vital important role in the coastal system, losses in the seagrass population have been observed throughout the world. Many researches have explored the relationship between seagrasses and their rhizosphere microbial community. As more and more plant microbial data become available, a variety of research investigations and applications have been substantially impacted, especially marine ecological protection. Using a meta-analysis, we explored the composition characteristics of rhizosphere microorganisms in Zostera on a larger scale and whether there are core microbes in seagrasses. Results showed the phyla Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes and the genus Sulfurovum might be the core microbiome in the Zostera. The rhizosphere core microorganisms may be essential for four seagrass species to assist their normal physiological activities. Except the core microbiome, the comparative analysis showed certain differences in the dominant composition of rhizosphere microorganisms in four seagrass species. The rhizosphere microorganisms of the seagrass might be also affected by the plant’s species specificity and living environment. In conclusion, the common rhizosphere microorganisms may be essential for four seagrass species to assist their normal physiological activities. Meanwhile, the basis of biological ecosystem and its influencing factors are very complex, and further research is needed.
