AimsThe goal of this study was to investigate the structure and functional potential of microbial communities associated with healthy and diseased tomato rhizospheres.MethodsComposition changes in the bacterial communities inhabiting the rhizospheric soil and roots of tomato plants were detected using 454 pyrosequencing. Microbial functional diversity was investigated with BIOLOG technology.ResultsThere were significant shifts in the microbial composition of diseased samples compared with healthy samples, which had the highest bacterial diversity. The predominant phylum in both diseased and healthy samples wasProteobacteria, which accounted for 35.7–97.4 % of species. The classGammaproteobacteriawas more abundant in healthy than in diseased samples, while theAlphaproteobacteriaandBetaproteobacteriawere more abundant in diseased samples. The proportions of pathogenicRalstonia solanacearumandActinobacteriaspecies were also elevated in diseased samples. The proportions of the various bacterial populations showed a similar trend both in rhizosphere soil and plant roots in diseased versus disease-free samples, indicating that pathogen infection altered the composition of bacterial communities in both plant and soil samples. In terms of microbial activity, functional diversity was suppressed in diseased soil samples. Soil enzyme activity, including urease, alkaline phosphatase and catalase activity, also declined.ConclusionsThis is the first report that provides evidence thatR. solanacearuminfection elicits shifts in the composition and functional potential of microbial communities in a continuous-cropping tomato operation.
