DGGE patterns of fungal and bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Pinus tabulaeformis. (a) Fungal community structure after PCR amplification using primer pair ITS1-F-GC/ITS2 and DGGE. (b) Bacterial community structure after PCR amplification using primer pair 341f-GC/534r and DGGE. Lanes 1–3 represent the samples collected from 3-, 12-, and 25-year-old P. tabulaeformis forest plantation, and lanes 4–6 represented the samples collected from 3-, 12-, and 25-year-old P. tabulaeformis natural secondary forest, respectively.
