Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the microbes in the rocks located in the various environments were clarified. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis by next-generation sequencer for microbial consortia, it was revealed that the general soil bacteria exist in the rocks. The big difference between the rock inside and the soil is the concentrations of organic matters derived from plants and animals is very low. Therefore, it is considered that the bacterial strains which can survive under the relatively poor nutrient condition and/or autotrophic bacteria might inhabit within the rock and play an important role among the microbial community in the rocks.
