pmoA gene sequencing of rice field soil with methanotrophic consortia inoculation and conventional fertilization
A field experiment was further conducted to evaluate the mitigation effects of methanotrophic consortia inoculation on CH4 emissions from rice paddies. Treatments included: conventional fertilization (CK) and conventional fertilization combined with inoculation of one of three consortia (SRF, SST, or SCM). A randomized design with four replicates was conducted for every treatment. soil samples of conventional fertilization and conventional fertilization combined with inoculation of methanotrophic consortia (SRF, SST, or SCM) were collected in rice fields for the pmoA gene amplicon sequencing.
