Studies on Community Characteristics of Actinomycetes at Lakeside of Swamping Wetland in WuLiangSuHai

Abstract

The core of this research was to study the amount, diversity, richness, evenness and dominance of soil Actinomycetes at lakeside of swamping wetland. In this study, Amount of Actinomycetes were determined through plate counting method, which was in Phragmites australis, Suaeda salsa and Nitraria tangutorum growing soil at the upstream, midstream and downstream of Wuliangsuhai. Community structure of Actinomycetes were analyzed on the basis of it‘s diversity index (H), evenness index (J), richness index (R) and dominance index (D). The results showed that, the diversity, richness and dominance of Actinomycetes were all affected by the types of plants, and showed significant difference among them. However, there was no significant difference for evenness. What’s more, both the order of diversity and richness in different plants growing soil were: Nitraria tangutorum> Suaeda salsa >Phragmites australis. And the order of dominance was: Suaeda salsa >Phragmites australis >Nitraria tangutorum. Dominant bacteria in Phragmites australis was Flavus, accounting for 85%, dominant bacteria in Nitraria tangutorum were Albosporus and Flavus, which accounted for 54.8% and 26%, and dominant bacteria in Suaeda salsa were Albosporus,Albosporus and Flavus, accounted for 26.7%, 23.5%. As the succession from Phragmites australis swamp to Suaeda salsa Saline meadow, and then to Nitraria tangutorum desert in Wuliangsuhai, the composition and structure of Actinomycetes there are changing at the same time.
