Dissecting the effect of continuous cropping of potato on soil bacterial communities as revealed by high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Plant rhizosphere-associated bacterial communities play key roles in affecting host health in response to diverse biotic stresses. Currently, the effect of continuous cropping of potato on soil bacterial communities and physiochemical parameters has not been well documented. Herein, we compared bacterial composition and diversity in rotationally and continuously (5, 10, and 30 years) cropped soils, and clarified the correlations between soil properties and the bacterial communities revealed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Our results demonstrated that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were the predominant phyla in all the tested soil samples. While the abundance of Proteobacteria showed an increase, the abundance of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes displayed a reduction with the inc
