Both Soil Bacteria and Soil Chemical Property Affected the Micropredator Myxobacterial Community: Evidence from Natural Forest Soil and Greenhouse Rhizosphere Soil.

ABSTRACT: Myxobacteria are abundant micropredators in soil, and are social bacteria with multicellular behavior and producers of versatile secondary metabolites. The interaction between predator and prey populations is an important component in the soil microbial food web, and this is expected to shape the composition and dynamics of microbial communities. Here we hypothesize the regulation of bacterial abundance and community composition on soil myxobacterial community. Field investigation indicated that the relative abundance of Myxococcales in subtropical and tropical forest soil from South China was 1.49-4.74% of all the 16S rRNA gene sequences, and myxobacterial community composition differed between subtropical and tropical forest. The canonical correspondence analysis and variation partitioni
