## Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major food sources globally. This study collected soil samples from multiple seed potato cultivation sites in Taiwan and employed amplicon sequencing to analyze microbial community composition. A total of 6,597 amplicon sequence variants of bacteria were identified and belonged to 75 classes.
