Red claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus cultivation influences the dynamic and assembly of benthic bacterial community in paddy field

Red claw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus has become a very important and suitable variety to be raised in integrated rice-aquatic animals farming system. To optimize integrated aquaculture and agriculture (IAA) system, ensure the sustainable utilization and development of land resources, integrated rice-red claw crayfish farming system was studied to investigate the effect of red claw crayfish cultivation on the dynamics and assembly of bacterial communities in paddy soil. Two experimental groups were established with eight replicates. Illumina high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes was conducted to evaluate the composition and assembly of bacterial communities in paddy soil.
