Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term continuous cropping has resulted in the frequent occurrence of fusarium wilt of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). AMF inoculation can alleviate the continuous cropping barrier and reduce the incidence of fusarium wilt of watermelon. Our previous study found that the root exudates of mycorrhizal watermelon can enhance watermelon resistance to this disorder. It is necessary to further isolate and identify the specific compounds in root exudates of mycorrhizal watermelon and explore their control effects on fusarium wilt of continuous cropping watermelon. RESULT The results of this study showed that the root system of watermelon seedlings inoculated with AMF (Funneliformis mosseae or Glomus versiforme) secreted diisooctyl phthalate (A) and dibutyl phthalate (B). Compared with water treatment, treatment with 0.1 ml/L (A1, B1), 0.5 ml/L (A2, B2) and 1 ml/L (A3, B3) of A or B significantly increased soil enzyme activities, the numbers of bacteria and actinomycetes, and the bacteria/fungi ratio in the rhizosphere. Furthermore, the Disease indexes (DI) of A1 and B3 were 25% and 20%, respectively, while the prevention and control effects (PCE) were 68.8% and 75%, respectively. In addition, diisooctyl phthalate or dibutyl phthalate increased the proportions of Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria in the rhizosphere of continuous cropping watermelon, and decreased the proportions of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, with Novosphingobium, Kaistobacter, Bacillus, and Acinetobacter as the predominant bacteria. Compared with the water treatment, the abundance of Neosphingosaceae, Kateybacterium and Bacillus in the A1 group was increased by 7.33, 2.14 and 2.18 times, respectively, while that in the B2 group was increased by 60.05%, 80.24% and 1 time, respectively. In addition, exogenous diisooctyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate were shown to promote growth parameters (vine length, stem diameter, fresh weight and dry weight) and antioxidant enzyme system activities (SOD, POD and CAT) of continuous cropping watermelon. CONCLUSION Lower watermelon fusarium wilt incidence in mycorrhizal watermelons was associated with phthalate secretion in watermelons after AMF inoculation. Exogenous diisooctyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate could alleviate the continuous cropping disorder of watermelon, reduce the incidence of fusarium wilt, and promote the growth of watermelon by increasing the enzyme activities and the proportion of beneficial bacteria in rhizosphere soil. In addition, the low concentration of phthalate diisooctyl and high concentration of phthalic acid dibutyl works best. Therefore, a certain concentration of phthalates in the soil can help alleviate continuous cropping obstacles.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134350. [PMID: 38643580 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Biotransformation is a major dissipation process of tetrabromobisphenol A and its derivatives (TBBPAs) in soil. The biotransformation and ultimate environmental fate of TBBPAs have been widely studied, yet the effect of root exudates (especially low-molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs)) on the fate of TBBPAs is poorly documented. Herein, the biotransformation behavior and mechanism of TBBPAs in bacteriome driven by LMWOAs were comprehensively investigated. Tartaric acid (TTA) was found to be the main component of LMWOAs in root exudates of Helianthus annus in the presence of TBBPAs, and was identified to play a key role in driving shaping bacteriome. TTA promoted shift of the dominant genus in soil bacteriome from Saccharibacteria_genera_incertae_sedis to Gemmatimonas, with a noteworthy increase of 24.90-34.65% in relative abundance of Gemmatimonas. A total of 28 conversion products were successfully identified, and β-scission was the principal biotransformation pathway for TBBPAs. TTA facilitated the emergence of novel conversion products, including 2,4-dibromophenol, 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyacetophenone, para-hydroxyacetophenone, and tribromobisphenol A. These products were formed via oxidative skeletal cleavage and debromination pathways. Additionally, bisphenol A was observed during the conversion of derivatives. This study provides a comprehensive understanding about biotransformation of TBBPAs driven by TTA in soil bacteriome, offering new insights into LMWOAs-driven biotransformation mechanisms.

Characteristics of organic pollutants and their effects on the microbial composition and activity in the industrial soils of Pearl River Delta, China. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 256:114844. [PMID: 37001193 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the interaction between organic pollutants and soil microorganisms, industrial soils were collected from Pearl River Delta region of China for determining semi-volatile organic pollutants, the community structure and activity of microorganisms. The results showed that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (63.3-4956 μg kg-1) and phthalate esters (PAEs) (272-65,837 μg kg-1) were main organic pollutants in the research area soils. Chemical manufacturing industry and plastics manufacturing industry contributed greatly to PAH pollution and PAE pollution, respectively. Organic pollutants changed the biomass of microorganisms. In most industrial soils, the biomass of actinomycetes was the highest in the industrial soils, followed by G- bacteria, G+ bacteria and fungi. The exception was that the biomass of fungi in the soil near chemical manufacturing industry was greater than that of G+ bacteria. The soil microbial biomass (including soil microbial biomass carbon, soil microbial biomass nitrogen, the biomass of actinomycetes, bacteria, and fungi) and soil enzyme activities (sucrase and urease) positively correlated with the organic pollutant residues, and the microbial species diversity and microbial species abundance decreased with organic pollutant residues increasing. Based on the correlation analysis, the urease activity, actinomycetes biomass, and fungi biomass were appropriate biological indicators for evaluating the stress of organic pollutants. Our research provides a new perspective for understanding the soil biological response in industrial soils.

Abstract
The widespread distribution of phthalates (PAEs) in agricultural soils is increasing drastically; however, the environmental occurrence and potential risk of PAEs in agricultural systems remain largely unreviewed. In this study, the occurrence, sources, ecotoxicity, exposure risks, and control measures of PAEs contaminants in agricultural soils are summarized, and it is concluded that PAEs have been widely detected and persist in the soil at concentrations ranging from a few μg/kg to tens of mg/kg, with spatial and vertical variations in China. Agrochemicals and atmospheric deposition have largely contributed to the elevated contamination status of PAEs in soils. In addition, PAEs cause multi-level hazards to soil organisms (survival, oxidative damage, genetic and molecular levels, etc.) and further disrupt the normal ecological functions of soil. The health hazards of PAEs to humans are mainly generated through dietary and non-dietary pathways, and children may be at a higher risk of exposure than adults. Improving the soil microenvironment and promoting biochemical reactions and metabolic processes of PAEs are the main mechanisms for mitigating contamination. Based on these reviews, this study provides a valuable framework for determining future study objectives to reveal environmental risks and reduce the resistance control of PAEs in agricultural soils.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 170:107629. [PMID: 36395556 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a dominant phthalic acid ester in the environment and commonly occurs at high concentration in agricultural soils. Its influence on the soil microbial community has been widely reported, while research related to its effects on microbial structure, function, and interactions in the rhizosphere, a microbial hotspot region in the terrestrial ecosystem, is still limited. This study investigated the response of microbes in the rhizosphere to DEHP contamination. DEHP reduced microbial quantity, shifted the microbial community structure, and enriched the soil bacteria with potential DEHP degraders. Although the rhizosphere can alleviate DEHP toxicity, DEHP still played an important role in microbial community construction in the rhizosphere. Interestingly, some microbes were influenced by the synergistic toxicity effect of DEHP addition and plant growth, and there were significant differences in their relative abundance and alpha diversity in soil treated with both DEHP and planting compared to soils with just DEHP spiking or planting. The genes related to cell motility, metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, protein families, genetic information processing, and replication and repair pathways changed only in soil treated with both DEHP and planting further proved the existence of synergistic toxicity. Anyway, the impact of DEHP on microbial function in the rhizosphere was important with 52.42‰ of the genes being changed. The change in cell motility, biofilm formation, and genes related to the quorum sensing pathway might affect the relationship between microbes, which play a crucial role in ecosystem function. This was further proven by changes in the microbial co-occurrence pattern. Our results can benefit risk evaluation of DEHP to microbial community in the rhizosphere, which is important for the effective function of terrestrial ecosystems and soil health.

Abstract
Environmental risk of multi-year polythene film mulching (PM) was evaluated and investigated. The location observation following 19-year (2000-2018) PM in irrigated region indicated that the cumulative accumulation of soil microplastics was as high as 2900 ± 19.5 n kg-1. Microplastic accumulation was tightly associated with soil plasticizer concentration (Pearson's r = 0.728, p <0.05), and the concentration of dominant phthalic acid esters (PAEs) was up to 117.5-705 μg kg-1. As such, we conducted organic mulching substitute experiment (2019-2020) with non-mulching (CK), maize straw mulching (SM), living clover mulching (CM), PM, PM+SM and PM+CM respectively. The data showed that organic mulching (SM, CM) achieved similar productivity benefit as PM-involved treatments (p > 0.05). Critically, total concentration of PAEs decreased by 6.43% in SM relative to CK, and by 9.61% in PM+SM relative to PM respectively. High throughput sequencing indicated that the proportions of predominant bacteria and fungi were totally lower in PM than those of organic mulching, particularly Sphingomonadaceae and Stachybotryaceae. KEGG analyses indicated that organic mulching promoted the metabolisms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzoic acid (probability>75%) and heterologous organism metabolism (p<0.001), due to improved microbial community assembly. Therefore, organic mulching efficiently accelerated microbial mineralization of PM pollutants, and may act as a green solution to displace PM.

Abstract
The pollution of farm soils by the plasticizer dibutyl phthalate (DBP) should be researched owing to the extensive use of plastic film. We investigated the influence of DBP on microbial communities and enzyme activities in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil during the different growth stages of wheat and determined the response through simulations. The results indicated that protease, polyphenol oxidase, and β-glucosidase activity in soil decreased with increasing DBP dosage, while dehydrogenase, urease, and acid phosphatase activities increased. Moreover, the effects of DBP on soil enzyme activity gradually weakened with DBP degradation. Dibutyl phthalate has a certain inhibitory effect on the activity, diversity, and heterogeneity of microorganisms in soil. In addition, DBP can increase the utilization of amines and carboxylic acids and decrease the utilization of carbohydrates and amino acids by soil microorganisms. According to the Gaussian and molecular docking analysis, we considered that monobutyl phthalate and DBP could affect the utilization of amino acids by Proteobacteria. The enzyme activity, microbial activity, and heterogeneity of rhizosphere soil were higher than those of non-rhizosphere soil. Microbial carbon source utilization in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils depends on wheat growth, soil type, and DBP dosage. Owing to the widespread presence of DBP in agriculture, negative effects of phthalic acid esters should be considered in relation to soil quality and food safety in future.

Rice root exudates enhance desorption and bioavailability of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in soil associating with cultivar variation in PAE accumulation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 186:109611.

Abstract
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) is a class of prevalent pollutants in agricultural soil, threating food safety through crop uptake and accumulation of PAEs. Accumulation of PAEs varies largely among crop species and cultivars. Nevertheless, how root exudates affect PAE bioavailability, dissipation, uptake and accumulation is still not well understood. In the present study, desorption and pot experiments were designed to investigate how root exudates from high-(Peizataifeng) and low-(Fengyousimiao) PAE accumulating rice cultivars affect soil PAE bioavailability, dissipation, and accumulation variation. Rice root exudates including low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) of Peizataifeng and Fengyousimiao could enhance desorption of two typical PAE compounds, di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), from aged soil to their available fractions by increasing soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC), thus improving their bioavailability in soil. Peizataifeng produced twice higher amounts of oxalic acid, critic acid and malonic acid in root exudates, and exhibited stronger effects on enhancing desorption and bioavailability of DBP and DEHP than Fengyousimiao. Higher (by about 50%) total organic carbon contents of root exudates from Peizataifeng led to higher (by 10-30%) soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen than Fengyousimiao, and thus promoted more PAE dissipation from soil than Fengyousimiao. Nevertheless, higher (by 20-50%) soil DOC and significantly higher PAE bioavailability in the soils planted Peizataifeng resulted in greater (by 53-93%) PAE accumulation in roots and shoots of Peizataifeng than Fengyousimiao, confirming by higher (by 1.82-3.48 folds) shoot and root bioconcentration factors of Peizataifeng than Fengyousimiao. This study reveals that the difference in root exudate extent and LMWOAs between Peizataifeng and Fengyousimiao differentiates PAE accumulation.
