Across the United States, melons are a high demand crop reaching a net production of 2.7 million tons in 2020 with an economic value of $915 million dollars. The goal of this study was to characterize the bacterial diversity of cantaloupe rinds and soil from commercial melon fields at the point of harvest from two major production regions, Arizona, and California. Cantaloupes and composite soil samples were collected from three different commercial production fields, including Imperial Valley, CA, Central Valley, CA, and Yuma Valley, AZ, at the point of harvest over a three-month period, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to assess bacterial diversity and community structure. The Shannon Diversity Index showed higher diversity among soil compared to the cantaloupe rind regardless of the sampling location. Regional diversity of soil differed significantly, whereas there was no difference in diversity on cantaloupe surfaces. Bray-Curtis Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) dissimilarity distance matrix found the samples clustered by soil and melon individually, and then clustered tighter by region for the soil samples compared to the cantaloupe samples. Taxonomic analysis found total families among the regions to be 52 for the soil samples and 12 among cantaloupes from all three locations, but composition and abundance did vary between the three locations. Core microbiome analysis identified two taxa shared among soil and cantaloupe which were Bacillaceae and Micrococcaceae. This study lays the foundation for characterizing the cantaloupe microbiome at the point of harvest that provides the cantaloupe industry with those bacterial families that are potentially present entering post-harvest processing, which could assist in improving cantaloupe safety, shelf-life, cantaloupe quality and other critical aspects of cantaloupe post-harvest practices.
