Variation in archaeal and bacterial community profiles and their functional metabolic predictions under the influence of pure and mixed fertilizers in paddy soil.

ABSTRACT: Impact of environmental perturbations i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and rice straw (Rs) on the dynamics of soil bacterial and archaeal communities are multifactor dependent and seeks a contemporary approach to study underlying mechanisms. The current study investigates the effect of pure and mixed fertilizers on soil physicochemical properties, the microbial community structure, and their functional metabolic predictions. It involved amendments with distinct combinations of N as C(H₂N)₂O, P and K as KH₂PO₄, K as KCl, and Rs in paddy soil microcosms with concentrations common in rice fields agriculture. Soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), organic matter (OM), available K (AK), and tot
