Microbial community composition in the rhizosphere of Larix decidua under different light regimes with additional focus on methane cycling microorganisms.

ABSTRACT: Microbial community and diversity in the rhizosphere is strongly influenced by biotic and/or abiotic factors, like root exudates, nutrient availability, edaphon and climate. Here we report on the microbial diversity within the rhizosphere of Larix decidua, a dominant tree species in the Alps, as compared with the microbiome within the surrounding soil. We describe how increased light intensity influenced the rhizobiome and put emphasize on methane cycling microorganisms. Microbial taxa were classified into 26 bacterial, 4 archaeal and 6 fungal phyla revealing significant differences between bulk and rhizosphere soils. The dominant prokaryotic phyla were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria (both, rhizosphere and bulk soil) and Bacteroidetes (rhizosphere soil only) and dominant fun
