Analysis of microbial diversity and niche in rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased cotton at the flowering stage in southern Xinjiang

F. G. Luan, Zhang, L. L., Lou, Y. Y., Wang, L., Liu, Y. N., and Zhang, H. Y., Analysis of microbial diversity and niche in rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased cotton at the flowering stage in southern Xinjiang, vol. 14, pp. 1602-1611, 2015.

Understanding how microbial community composition and diversity respond to continuous cropping obstacle is not well understood. However, determining the community composition vs assessing the diversity of molecular operational taxonomic units is often difficult. In this study, we focused on the microbial diversity and niche differentiation in rhizosphere soils between healthy and diseased cotton using a molecular approach based on a culture-independent method.
