Considering the close connection between soil microorganisms with carbon (C) cycling, the aim of this study was to identify the specific bacterial and fungal microbes that assimilate ¹³C from incorporated rice straw and explore their dynamics and characteristics during straw decomposition in paddy soil. Soil microcosms based on ¹²/¹³C‐labeled rice straw were incubated with the determination of CO₂ production at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 90 days after straw incorporation. Meanwhile, the targeted soil bacterial and fungal communities were characterized using a DNA‐based stable isotope probing (DNA‐SIP) approach combined with Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Rice straw decomposed rapidly in the first 2 weeks, coupled with a large turnover of soil native organic matter. During this process, Actinobacteria including the orders Streptomycetales, Caternulisporales and Corynebacteriales dominated the community utilizing rice straw‐derived C with a succession from Streptomyces, to Kitasatospora, to Catenulispora. At Days 56 to 90, the dominant orders assimilating rice straw‐derived ¹³C were Micrococcales, Sphingobacteriia, Gammaproteobacteria from phyla Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria, respectively. The fungal orders Onygenales, Capnodiales, Sordariales and Pleosporales showed stronger ability of ¹³C utilization at late decomposition stage. Taken together, along with stimulation of soil organic matter mineralization after rice straw addition, dynamics of ¹³C‐assimilating bacterial and fungal groups with various characteristics were identified.
