Changes in the bacterial communities of subtropical soils from Argentina with different land uses.. soil metagenome

The goal of this study was to analyze the modifications in the structure of the bacterial communities from Argentinean subtropical soils caused by changes in land use. The samples included soils from undisturbed forests and from sites that were deforested between 100 and 5 years ago and used for soybean or sugar cane cultivation. The changes in community structure were evaluated by 454 GS FLX high throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.

本研究旨在分析土地利用变化对阿根廷亚热带土壤细菌群落结构造成的改变。本次采集的样本涵盖未受干扰的原生森林土壤，以及100年至5年前遭砍伐后用于种植大豆或甘蔗的林地土壤。研究通过16S rRNA基因（16S rRNA gene）的454 GS FLX高通量测序技术，对群落结构的变化进行了评估。
