Analysis of the bacterial communities structure and diversty of the Tarim River in different habitats
[Objective]Analysis of the bacterial communities structure and diversty of the Tarim River in different habitats.[Methods]The culture-free and cultivable methods were used in this study to explore the bacterial community structure and diversity of Tarim River,and also identified a potential new species by using the polyphasic taxonomy method.[Results]There were significantly difference of bacterial community between the original habitat and the artificially developed habitat.There was lower alpha diversity of the artificially de-veloped habitat than the original habitat,and it had multiple difference of the beta diversity among the different habits.Based on the cultivable methods,the Proteobacteria and Actinomycota were dominant bacterial groups in these habitats.According to the polyphasic taxonomy method,a potential new species was identified.[Conclu-sion]There are multiple microbial resources in different habitats of the Tarim River.The bacterial community structure has been affected by human activities.
