| description | The comprehensive data for the dynamic adaptation of bacterial community structure in response to environmental factors is important for the maintenance of the mangrove ecosystem. This aspect was investigated with soils and surface water from six mangrove forests in six provinces along the Upper Gulf of Thailand shoreline. Mangrove soils were variable with respect to pH (acidic to slightly alkaline) and had low amounts of organic matter (OM). Illumina next-generation sequencing attested that the number of observed species as well as the bacterial diversity and richness among all sites were not significantly different. The gamma-, alpha-<i>Proteobacteria</i>, <i>Desulfobacteria</i>, <i>Bacteroidia</i>, <i>Anaerolineae</i>, <i>Bathyarchaeia</i>, <i>Acidobacteriae</i>, <i>Nitrososphaeria</i>, <i>Clostridia</i>, and <i>Thermoplasmata</i> were more abundant bacterial classes present in all sites. Soil OM was the major factor that mostly modulated the bacterial community structure, while salinity influenced the number of observed species and bacterial richness. These results provide informative data on the bacterial community, in response to both environmental factors and heavy metal pollutants, that is prominent for sustainable development and management of mangrove forests. |
