Sumario:Bacterial communities can promote increased phosphorus (P) availability for plants and microbes in soil via various mechanisms of phosphate solubilization. The production of extracellular phosphatases releases available P through the hydrolysis of organic P. Examining the abundance and diversity of the bacterial community, including phosphate solubilizing bacteria in soil, may provide valuable information to overcome P scarcity in soil ecosystems. Here, the diversity and relative abundance of bacterial phyla and genera of six agricultural soil samples from Vietnam were analysed by next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Phosphatase activities of each soil were compared with physico-chemical parameters and the abundance of the alkaline phosphatase gene phoD. We showed the dominance of Chloroflexi, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria and Firmicutes. Total nitrogen positively correlated with phyla Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes and Planctomycetes. The abundance of several genera of Proteobacteria showed positive relationship with the copy number of the phoD gene. The abundance of several taxa positively correlated with silt content, while a negative relationship of Proteobacteria was found with sand content. Our results demonstrated the clear influence of soil physico-chemical properties on the abundance of various bacterial taxa including those potentially involved in phosphate solubilization.
