Abstract:
      To evaluate the distribution and the environmental dependence of soil microbes in arid land, we studied the composition and diversity of microbial communities in soils from different ecosystems on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau along with relevant environmental factors. The composition and diversity of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau soil bacteria were investigated by the high-throughput sequencing. Totally, 1 463 157 partial 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained. These sequences revealed great amount of operational taxonomic units(OTUs), that is, 4 344~5 764 OTUs in soil samples. There were mainly Proteobacteria(35.5%), Actinobacteria(20.4%), Acidobacteria(12.5%), Bacteroidetes(7.3%), Chloroflexi(6.1%), and Firmicutes(5.3%), which had the largest number of Proteobacteria. And Alphaproteobacteria with 45.9% of all OTUs was the most abundant class of Proteobacteria, followed by Gammaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria of this phylum. Pearson correlation and redundancy analysis revealed that soil moisture, total organic carbon, and soil potassium content had significant effect on soil bacterial community distribution.
