Bacterial community structure of five environmental sample groups at the phylum level. Soil, soil bacteria samples from six areas in rice fields; source, pond, and field, planktonic bacteria samples collected from the water inlet for the experimental area, from three aquaculture ponds, and from three areas in rice fields; canal, planktonic bacteria samples collected from the canal system between aquaculture and rice fields. A higher relative abundance of Firmicutes was found in the soil bacteria samples than in the water samples
