Analysis of Soil Bacterial Diversity from Tropical Rainforest and Oil Palm Plantation In Jambi, Indonesia by 16S rRNA-DGGE Profiles

Oil palm plantations are the most invasive land use changes in Southeast Asia. It must have affected unique natural biodiversity. This study aimed to investigate diversity of soil bacteria based on 16S rRNA gene profiles from tropical forest and oil plantation Jambi Province, Indonesia. Soil sample was taken province, The site is Bukit Duabelas National Park, nearby Sarolangun District, bacterial communities topsoil studied using Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) common biodiversity indices. PCR amplification successfully conducted primers-using 33F/ 518R primers. Phylogenetic approach used for revealing community shift phyla genera both areas. analysis showed there were 4 i.e., Firmicutes, Alphaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, respectively. Actinobacteria dominant group composition plantation, total number bands generated DGGE richer than that Dua Belas Park. probably caused by year circle more 10 years routine activities during management, such as applications agricultural lime, herbicide fertilizer.
