ABSTRACT
Fertilization influences the grape (V. vinifera) quality, soil biochemical profiles and bacterial
diversity. Twenty-five experiment plots of grape (V. vinifera L. cv. Cabernet sauvignon, 4-yearold)
were assigned into five groups and treated with four fertilization schedules (inorganic, organic,
combined fertilizers, and soil conditioners) or without fertilization (Blank control). Properties of soil
chemistry and grape quality were determined, and bacterial diversity was analyzed. Soil organic matter
was increased by organic and combined fertilizers; available N, P and K and total N contents were
increased by all fertilization schedules. Inorganic fertilizers increased tannin content; organic fertilizers
increased total phenols and decreased tannin; combined fertilizers decreased soluble solids; and soil
conditioners only increased tannin and decreased the total soluble solids, phenol compounds, titratable
acids and sugar-acidity ratio. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis showed Micrococcaceae, Cytophagaceae
and Streptomycetaceae abundance was increased by inorganic, organic and combined fertilizers,
respectively. In comparison with inorganic fertilizers, soil conditioners reduced the abundance of
Hyphomicrobiaceae, Micromonosporaceae, Rhodospirillaceae and Sphingomonadaceae. Canonical
correspondence analysis showed that soil available N and P as well as grape anthocyanin contents were
correlated with Halomonas, Pseudomonas, Rhodoplanes, Steroidobacter and Streptomyces abundance.
Application of fertilizers increased soil fertility and grape berry quality via changing profiles of soil
bacteria, including Streptomycetaceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae Micrococcaceae and Cytophagaceae
families.
