시설재배지의 토양미생물 분포 특성을 밝히고 토양의 건전성을 평가하고자, 전국 주요 시설재배 8개 주산단지에서 각각 5포장을 선정하여 토양화학성, 미생물분포 및 생화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 토양화학성은 가용성인산, 칼륨, 칼슘의 함량이 적정범위보다 크게 상회하여 상당량의 염류 집적을 확인하였다. 토양미생물의 배양적 방법을 통해 조사한 시설재배지의 주요 우점 박테리아는 Bacillus 속, Microbacterium 속, Arthrobacter 속, Lysobacter 속 등이었으며, 형광성 Pseudomonas 속의 밀도는 상추와 오이 재배지에서 각각 $0.018-7.3{ imes}10^4;cfu;g^{-1}$, $0.0013-9.6{ imes}10^4;cfu;g^{-1}$으로 시료에 따라 큰 변이를 보였다. 비배양학적 방법을 통한 토양미생물 분포 조사를 위해 수행한 인지질지방산 (PLFA)의 주성분 분석 결과, 작물 및 지역별 군집구조의 큰 차이는 없었다. 따라서 토양화학성 및 미생물군집구조 측면에서 시설재배지 조사지역의 토양은 대체로 건전한 것으로 판단된다.
The soil chemical properties, microbial community structures and biochemical properties of lettuce or cucumber-cultivated greenhouse soil samples were analyzed to assess soil health and characterize microbial distribution in 8 locations in Korea. Although most of chemical properties were within the soil management guidelines, the available phosphate, and the contents of exchangeable potassium and calcium were higher than those of recommended levels. In the culture-dependent analysis, 841 bacterial strains were isolated from the greenhouse soils and were identified at the genus level by 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis. The dominant bacterial genera were Bacillus (35.7%), Microbacterium (9.3%), Arthrobacter (5.7%) and Lysobacter (5.1%). The abundance of pseudomonads was highly variable depending on the soil samples. In the culture-independent analysis, soil microbial community was investigated by using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that a specific grouping for microbial community structure in the greenhouse soils was not observed based on cultivated crops and investigated sites. The results revealed that the greenhouses soils examined are relatively sound managed in terms of soil chemical contents and microbial properties.
