Abstract:
      Wuliangsuhai wetland is the largest wetland on the same latitude in the world, and plays important roles in maintaining ecological functions of its surrounding area. In the present study, community structure of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes were profiled in three types of wetland soils and a farmland soil grown with Phragmites australis, Suaeda salsa, Nitraria tangutorum and Helianthus annuus, respectively, from Wuliangsuhai wetland. Bacteria were dominant, while fungi minor in all soils. Quantities of microorganisms were different under different types of plants. The largest number of bacteria was found at Phragmites australis soil of Xiaohekou site, whereas fungi and actinomycetes were the most abundant in Nitraria tangutorum soil. Farmland soil had the highest spore-forming bacteria. The results indicate that the distribution of microbes in soil is closely related with vegetation type and soil nutrients.
