The microbial network of rhizosphere is unique as a result of root exudate. Insights into the relationship that exists with the energy metabolic functional groups will help in biofertilizer production. We hypothesize that there exists a relationship between nitrifying microorganisms and other energy metabolic functional microbial groups in the maize rhizosphere across different growth stages. Nucleospin soil DNA extraction kit was used to extract DNA from soil samples collected from maize rhizosphere. The 16S metagenomics sequencing was carried out on Illumina Miseq. The sequence obtained was analyzed on MG-RAST. Nitrospira genera were the most abundant in the nitrifying community. Nitrifying microorganisms were more than each of the studied functional groups except for nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Also, majority of the microorganisms were noticed at the fruiting stage and there was variation in the microbial structure across different growth stages. The result showed that there exists a substantial amount of both negative and positive correlation within the nitrifying microorganisms, and between them and other energy metabolic functional groups. The knowledge obtained from this study will help improve the growth and development of maize through modification of the rhizosphere microbial community structure. |
