Abstract
The rhizomicrobiome is composed of microbes that live in association with plant roots. From nutrient cycling to carbon sequestration, soil microorganisms have provided a solid base for natural and agricultural ecosystems to function. The relationship between plant roots and soil microorganisms is especially relevant in food staples such as rice (Oryza sativa L.), as the various properties of these microbes can influence crop yield and plant health, thereby affecting a major portion of the food supply for an ever-growing world population. In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene-based metagenomic analysis to investigate the impact of crop rotation and soil cultivation methods (no-till or tillage) on rhizosphere bacterial diversity and composition in eight crop fields in Arkansas. Illumina MiSeq sequencing revealed 56 Phyla, with four major Phyla: Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. Soil microbial communities in the samples studied were phylogenetically diverse but with a stable community structure. Crop rotation and tillage did not significantly affect bacterial diversity.
