Bacterial Community of Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) cv. A-19.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial community of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) cv. A-19 is vital because it may promote plant growth without the need for fertilization. However, the influence of fertilization practices on the composition and proportion of the bacterial community of water yam cv. A-19 has not yet been extensively examined. Therefore, we herein investigated the diversity and composition of the bacterial community of water yam cv. A-19 cultivated with and without chemical fertilization using amplicon community profiling based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. No significant difference was detected in the growth of plants cultivated with or without chemical fertilization. Alpha diversity indices were significantly dependent on each compartment, and a decrease was observed in indices from the belowground
