Abstract
A characteristic of paddy soils is that they are kept under a water-logged condition during rice cultivation. It seems quite natural to expect that paddy soil harbours a characteristic microflora not common in upland soils. However, few studies have been made on the microflora of paddy soils(1,7). This study was conducted to compare of these paddy soils with those reported in the previous papers(4,5,6).
