Insights into Bacterial Communities and Diversity of Mangrove Forest Soils along the Upper Gulf of Thailand in Response to Environmental Factors.

ABSTRACT: The comprehensive data for the dynamic adaptation of bacterial community structure in response to environmental factors is important for the maintenance of the mangrove ecosystem. This aspect was investigated with soils and surface water from six mangrove forests in six provinces along the Upper Gulf of Thailand shoreline. Mangrove soils were variable with respect to pH (acidic to slightly alkaline) and had low amounts of organic matter (OM). Illumina next-generation sequencing attested that the number of observed species as well as the bacterial diversity and richness among all sites were not significantly different. The gamma-, alpha-Proteobacteria, Desulfobacteria, Bacteroidia, Anaerolineae, Bathyarchaeia, Acidobacteriae, Nitrososphaeria,
