Soil enzymes and microbial communities (16S) taxonomic and functional affiliations in distinct soil niches of dual Bt-transgenic maize
High-throughput sequencing was employed to evaluate the possible impacts of transgenic maize expressing the mcry1Ab and mcry2Ab genes (2A7) from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its control variety (Z58) on soil nutrient dynamics, bacterial and fungal assembly, and functions within different soil niches.
