  • Title: An assessment of urea-formaldehyde fertilizer on the diversity of bacterial communities in onion and sugar beet.
    Author: Ikeda S, Suzuki K, Kawahara M, Noshiro M, Takahashi N.
    Journal: Microbes Environ; 2014; 29(2):231-4. PubMed ID: 24882062.
    Abstract:
    The impact of a urea-formaldehyde (UF) fertilizer on bacterial diversity in onion bulbs and main roots of sugar beet were examined using a 16S rRNA gene clone library. The UF fertilizer markedly increased bacterial diversity in both plants. The results of principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed that nearly 30% of the variance observed in bacterial diversity in both the onion and sugar beet was attributed to the fertilization conditions and also that the community structures in both plants shifted unidirectionally in response to the UF fertilizer.
