Differences in Soil Bacterial Community Compositions in Paddy Fields under Organic and Conventional Farming Conditions

抄録

Soil bacterial community compositions and temporal changes in organic paddy fields were elucidated using a 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing analysis with a high-throughput next generation sequencer. At transplanting, bacterial community compositions in organic and conventional paddy fields were mostly similar despite differences in field management. The bacterial community composition in organic fields differed from that under conventional management during the rice growth period, possibly as a result of the decomposition process of organic fertilizers. However, differences in the frequency of tillage and photosynthetic bacterial inoculations in the organic plots had less of an impact on bacterial communities.
