Bacterial community structure analysis of soil treated with parthenium hysterophorus L. derived green medium

Abstract

The present study encompasses the analysis of bacterial community structure of soil in the presence of Parthenium hysterophorus derived green medium. The 16S microbiome profiling of the soil revealed that it consists of members from 15 bacterial phyla with the most prominent being Proteobacteria. The other predominant phyla were Plantomycetes, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi and Firmicutes. The maximum proportion of the bacterial community remained unclassified at genus and species level. Among the classified population the maximum number of bacteria belonged to Flavisolibacter followed by Kaistobacter, Bacillus, Optitutus, Balneimonas, Steroidobacter, Rhodoplanes and Gemmata.
