Soil bacterial community structure in five tropical forests in Malaysia and one temperate forest in Japan revealed by pyrosequencing analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence variation

Abstract: Bacterial community structure was investigated in five tropical rainforests in Sarawak, Malaysia and one temperate forest in Kyoto, Japan. A hierarchical sampling approach was employed, in which soil samples were collected from five sampling-sites within each forest. Pyrosequencing was performed to analyze a total of 493,790 16S rRNA amplicons. Despite differences in aboveground conditions, the composition of bacterial groups was similar across all sampling-sites and forests, with Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria… Show more

“…This extends our previous study (Miyashita et al, 2013) by including an additional 21 tropical forests in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, and one temperate forest in Japan. These 28 forests had different aboveground vegetation, including dipterocarp forest, acacia plantation, oil palm plantation, limestone forest and mangrove.…”

“…Occurrence of OTUs within and between investigated forests Based on the concerted evolution and conserved copy number variation of bacterial 16S rRNA cistrons, the number of 16S rRNA sequence reads per OTU may be regarded as the representative of the number of individual bacteria per species (OTU) in the forest soils investigated, although it is difficult to convert the number of sequence reads to the exact number of individual bacteria (Miyashita et al, 2013;Miyashita, 2015). For the total data, the most abundant OTU, which belonged to Acidobacteria subgroup Gp1, represented approximately 3% (7,934) of all reads (256,693), and the second most abundant OTU, which belonged to Acidobacteria subgroup Gp2, represented approximately 2% of reads (5,384) ( Table 3).…”
