The bacterial community of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) cv. A-19 is vital because it may promote plant growth without the need for fertilization. However, the influence of fertilization practices on the composition and proportion of the bacterial community of water yam cv. A-19 has not yet been extensively examined. Therefore, we herein investigated the diversity and composition of the bacterial community of water yam cv. A-19 cultivated with and without chemical fertilization using amplicon community profiling based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. No significant difference was detected in the growth of plants cultivated with or without chemical fertilization. Alpha diversity indices were significantly dependent on each compartment, and a decrease was observed in indices from the belowground (rhizosphere and root) to aboveground compartments (stem and leaf). The bacterial composition of each compartment was clustered into three groups: bulk soil, rhizosphere and root, and stem and leaf. Chemical fertilization did not significantly influence the diversity or composition of the water yam cv. A-19 bacterial community. It remained robust in plants cultivated with chemical fertilization. The amplicon community profiling of bacterial communities also revealed the dominance of two bacterial clades, the Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium clade and Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia clade, with and without chemical fertilization. This is the first study to characterize the bacterial community of water yam cv. A-19 cultivated with and without chemical fertilization.
