Bacterial communities in chitin-amended soil as revealed by 16S rRNA gene based pyrosequencing
2014-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Chitin and its derivatives are natural biopolymers that are often used as compounds for the control of soil-borne plant pathogens. In spite of recent advances in agricultural practices involving chitin amendments, the microbial communities in chitin-amended soils remain poorly known. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the bacterial diversity and abundance in an agricultural soil supplemented with...
