Abstract:

Based on 16S rRNA high-throughput genome sequencing, the bacterial diversity and structural variability in the rhizocompartments (i.e.root, rhizosphere soil, root zone soil and inter-shrub bulk soil) of two Caragana spp.(Caragana microphylla and Caragana korshinskii) in the Mu Us Desert are studied.In this study, one-way ANOVA and PCA analysis based on OTU level with Euclidean distance were performed on the Alpha diversity indeices and Beta diversity of bacterial communities in each rhizocompartments, respectively.Then we confirmed the reports on the niche differentiation of plant rhizocompartments, the diversity and structural composition of the bacterial community in the rhizocompartments of desert leguminous plants showed significant differences, with a hierarchical transition of the four rhizocompartment types from outside to inside.We found that desert leguminous plants showed significant hierarchical filtration and enrichment of soil microbial communities under shrubs (P<0.05).The stratified selection and enrichment of specific bacterial groups by the rhizocompartments of plant is one of the main reasons for the hierarchical variation of bacterial community structure and composition in different ecological niches under the shrub of Caragana.
