Diversity of Community Soil DNA and Bacteria in Degraded and Undegraded Tropical Forest Soils of North-Eastern India as Measured by ERIC–PCR Fingerprints and 16S rDNA-DGGE Profiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of the denaturated gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified 16S rDNA fingerprints demonstrated a high diversity of bacterial communities in the soils from the three study sites at the surface and subsurface soil layers. The undegraded site possessed maximum number of 16S rDNA fingerprints than the degraded and undegraded sites at both soil depths. The surface soil of the degraded site displayed minimum 16S rDNA fingerprints thereby suggesting the reduced bacterial diversity in this site as a consequence of the long term utilization of the soil through shifting cultivation in the past. The cluster analysis of the DGGE bands of 16S rDNA genes revealed a clear separation of the degraded and moderately degraded sites from that of the undegraded site in terms of bacterial genomic communities.

In this study microbial species diversity was assessed across a landscape in Yellowstone National Park, where an abrupt increase in soil temperature had occurred due to recent geothermal activity. Soil temperatures were measured, and samples were taken across a temperature gradient (35 to 65 degrees C at a 15-cm depth) that spanned geothermally disturbed and unimpacted soils; thermally perturbe...

The diversity of microbial communities constitutes a critical component of good soil-management practices. To characterize the effects of different management practices, molecular indicators such as phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and composition of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria were used to analyze bacterial community structure and diversity from fou...
متن کاملOccurrence and phylogenetic diversity of Sphingomonas strains in soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Bacterial strains of the genus Sphingomonas are often isolated from contaminated soils for their ability to use polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The direct detection of Sphingomonas strains in contaminated soils, either indigenous or inoculated, is, as such, of interest for bioremediation purposes. In this study, a culture-independent PCR-based det...
