| Research Abstract |
This study analyzed bacterial communities in the feces of soil animals feeding on plant litter and attempted to find a novel association between soil bacteria and soil animals in the detritus food chain. The Armadillidium vulgare, a terrestrial isopod, was used as the model soil animal. The feces of A. vulgare were collected from farming systems that use fallen cherry leaves as feed. The analysis results using a high-performance sequencer showed bacterial groups that are characteristically present in feces and those groups whose abundance ratio increased or decreased based on the manner in which the feces was disposed in the soil. This suggested that the bacterial groups with high abundance ratio led the decomposition of organic matter in feces containing undigested plant litter.
