【Objective】The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of naked barley root rot disease on the bacterial community structure of rhizosphere soil.【Method】 The rhizosphere soil samples of healthy naked barley at seedling stage were collected with 5%,10%,15% and 20% incidence of root rot,and then the 16S rDNA gene of ev- ery sample was determined by Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology.Furthermore,the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial species was analyzed.【Result】 The results illustrated that there were many dominant bacterial species in the rhizosphere soil of naked barley in the seedling stage,and the community structure was rich with high di- versity and uniformity.Futher more,through the analysis of the dominant bacteria at different classification levels ,dif- ferent rules were revealed.Firstly,at the phylum level,the occurrence of root rot increased the abundance of Proteo- bacteria and Bacteroidetes,while the abundance of Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria decreased.Secondly,at the ob- jective level,the occurrence of root rot reduced the abundance of Micrococcales,Pseudomonadales and Propionibacte- riales,but the abundance of Bacillales and Sphingomonadales increased.Thirdly,at the level of genus,the abundance of Sphingomonas,Bacillus,Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter raised,whereas the abundance of Pseudarthrobacter dropped down.Finally,at the species level,the abundance of Serratia plymuthica had grown much as the incidence in- creased.However,there was an opposite trend on the abundance of Bacillus Simple,Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Stenotrophomonasrhizophila.Cluster analysis showed that the occurrence of root rot caused changes in the structure of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community of naked barley,and the overall law showed that the higher the incidence, the farther the distance from the healthy samples,the greater the difference.Besides,several functional genes of naked barley rhizosphere soil bacteria were obtained by COG database annotation.【Conclusion】 Therefore,it’s obviously that the occurrence of naked barley root rot at seedling stage changed the bacterial community structure in the rhizo- sphere soil.This study provides theoretical basis for the prevention and control of naked barley root rot and the estab- lishment of prediction and early warning technology.
