Abstract

The use of biological pesticide can greatly reduce the soil pollution in the environment. Exploring the effect of biological pesticide on community diversity and distribution of pathogenic bacteria will provide theoretic basis for subsequent researches on biological pesticide micro-ecological control. In order to explore the microbial ecological mechanism of pepper phytophthora blight, this research compared the difference of microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy plants, and the effects of Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 on microbial diversities of plant rhizosphere soil were investigated using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology. The results showed that there was less difference in the microbial diversity from the same soil between the seventh day and the fourteenth day. The microbial diversity of rhizosphere soil of healthy plants was higher than that of rhizosphere soil of infected plants. The soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 exhibited the highest diversity. Moreover, the abundance of Actinomycetes in the rhizosphere soil of healthy plants was higher than that of infected plants, and the highest abundance of Actinomycetes was observed in the soil sprayed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06. The microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy plants was significantly different. Spraying Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06 could significantly alter the microbial community structure of the soil. It could also increase the diversity of microorganism and the abundance of Actinomycetes in the soil.

Keywords: Rhodopseudomonas palustris PSB06; micro-ecological mechanism; microbial community structure; microbial diversity; phytophthora blight.
