Title in Portuguese
Diversidade e estrutura funcional de comunidades microbianas em solos da Amazônia e resposta a mudanças na forma de uso do solo.

Abstract in Portuguese
O estudo buscou avaliar a diversidade de genes funcionais microbianos em solos da Amazônia, submetidos a diferentes formas de uso, empregando o Geochip. Este é um microarranjo com sondas para genes relacionados a diversos processos funcionais, incluindo ciclos biogeoquímicos. Foram avaliados solos de floresta primária, pastagens e floresta secundária. A conversão de floresta para pastagem causou alteração da estrutura funcional da comunidade e redução da diversidade de genes, e o crescimento da floresta secundária restabeleceu a estrutura e diversidade original. Fatores físico-químicos do solo correlacionaram significativamente com a estrutura da comunidade, indicando importância dos mesmos para o perfil observado. A análise de associação de genes aos ambientes revelou diferentes respostas, e um maior número de genes associados às duas florestas. Os resultados mostraram que o uso do solo para pastagem causa impactos sobre a diversidade e a abundância de genes de importância ambiental e um restabelecimento do potencial funcional na floresta secundária.

Abstract in English
The functional gene diversity of Amazon soils under different land use systems was accessed by Geochip, which is a microarray targeting genes related to a variety of processes, including biogeochemical cycles. Soils from a primary forest, three pastures and a secondary forest were analyzed. The forest to pasture conversion led to functional structure changes and functional gene diversity loss, whereas the secondary forest growth promoted the recovery of a profile found in primary forest. Correlation of soil physical-chemical properties with the community structure was found, suggesting that soil characteristics may be driving the biological profile observed. The association index showed a range of responses and a greater number of genes associated to both forests. The results revealed an impact of pasture establishment on the diversity and abundance of environmentally important genes, and a recovery of the functional potential with secondary forest growth.
