Li Q, Chang J, Li L, Lin X, Li Y. Soil amendments alter cadmium distribution and bacterial community structure in paddy soils. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 924:171399. [PMID: 38458464 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171399] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Soil amendments play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of food production by inhibiting the transfer of heavy metal ions from soils to crops. Nevertheless, their impact on soil characteristics and the microbial community and their role in reducing cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice remain unclear. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of three soil amendments (mineral, organic, and microbial) on the distribution of Cd speciation, organic components, iron oxides, and microbial community structure. The application of soil amendments resulted in significant reductions in the soil available Cd content (16 %-51 %) and brown rice Cd content (16 %-78 %), facilitating the transformation of Cd from unstable forms (decreasing 10 %-20 %) to stable forms (increasing 77 %-150 %) in the soil. The mineral and organic amendments increased the soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) and plant-derived organic carbon (OC), respectively, leading to reduced Cd accumulation in brown rice, while the microbial amendment enhanced OC complexity and the abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroidota, contributing to the decreased rice Cd uptake. The synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) spectroscopy indicated that soil amendments regulated soil Cd species by promoting iron oxides and OC coupling. Moreover, both organic and microbial amendments significantly reduced the diversity and richness of the bacterial communities and altered their compositions and structures, by increasing the relative abundances of Bacteroidota and Firmicutes and decreasing those of Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Myxococcota. Soil microbiome analysis revealed that the increase of Firmicutes and Bacteroidota associated with Cd adsorption and sequestration contributed to the suppression of soil Cd reactivity. These findings offer valuable insights into the potential mechanisms by which soil amendments regulate the speciation and bioavailability of Cd, and improve the bacterial communities, thereby providing guidance for agricultural management practices.

Abstract
The combination of biochar and bacteria is a promising strategy for the remediation of Cd-polluted soils. However, the synergistic mechanisms of biochar and bacteria for Cd immobilization remain unclear. In this study, the experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of the combination of biochar and Pseudomonas sp. AN-B15, on Cd immobilization, soil enzyme activity, and soil microbiome. The results showed that biochar could directly reduce the motility of Cd through adsorption and formation of CdCO3 precipitates, thereby protecting bacteria from Cd toxicity in the solution. In addition, bacterial growth further induces the formation of CdCO3 and CdS and enhances Cd adsorption by bacterial cells, resulting in a higher Cd removal rate. Thus, bacterial inoculation significantly enhances Cd removal in the presence of biochar in the solution. Moreover, soil incubation experiments showed that bacteria-loaded biochar significantly reduced soil exchangeable Cd in comparison with other treatments by impacting soil microbiome. In particular, bacteria-loaded biochar increased the relative abundance of Bacillus, Lysobacter, and Pontibacter, causing an increase in pH, urease, and arylsulfatase, thereby passivating soil exchangeable Cd and improving soil environmental quality in the natural alkaline Cd-contaminated soil. Overall, this study provides a systematic understanding of the synergistic mechanisms of biochar and bacteria for Cd immobilization in soil and new insights into the selection of functional strain for the efficient remediation of the contaminated environments by bacterial biochar composite.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 264:115442.

Abstract
Polyamines (PAs) are small aliphatic nitrogenous bases with strong biological activity that participate in plant stress response signaling and the alleviation of damage from stress. Herein, the effects of the PA-producing bacterium Bacillus megaterium N3 and PAs on the immobilization of Cd and inhibition of Cd absorption by spinach and the underlying mechanisms were studied. A solution test showed that strain N3 secreted spermine and spermidine in the presence of Cd. Both strain N3 and the PAs (spermine+spermidine) immobilized Cd and increased the pH of the solution. Untargeted metabolomics results showed that strain N3 secreted PAs, N1-acetylspermidine, 3-indolepropionic acid, indole-3-acetaldehyde, cysteinyl-gamma-glutamate, and choline, which correlated with plant growth promotion and Cd immobilization. A pot experiment showed that rhizosphere soil inoculation with strain N3 and PAs improved spinach dry weight and reduced spinach Cd absorption compared with the control. These positive effects were likely due to the increase in rhizosphere soil pH and NH4+-N and PA contents, which can be attributed primarily to Cd immobilization. Moreover, inoculation with strain N3 more effectively inhibited the absorption of Cd by spinach than spraying PAs, mainly because strain N3 enabled a better relative abundance of bacteria (Microvirga, Pedobacter, Bacillus, Brevundimonas, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Devosid, and Aminobacter), that have been reported to have the ability to resist heavy metals and produce PAs. Strain N3 regulated the structure of rhizosphere functional bacterial communities and inhibited Cd uptake by spinach. These results provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of heavy metal absorption by vegetables using PA-producing bacteria.

Abstract
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-hydroxytotulene (BHT) is an additive commonly used in the manufacturing of lubricants to improve their antioxidant properties. However, in this study, we found that BHT affects the biodegradation of bio-lubricants by influencing the microbial community during the degradation of bio-lubricants. Specifically, BHT was found to reduce bacterial richness in activated sludge, but it increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria (from 21.24% to 40.89%), Rhodococcus (from 17.15% to 31.25%), Dietzia (from 0.069% to 6.49%), and Aequorivita (from 0.90% to 1.85%). LEfSe analysis and co-occurrence network analysis suggested that Actinobacteria could be potential biomarkers and keystone taxa in microbial communities. Using the MetaCyc pathway database, the study found that BHT interfered with cellular biosynthetic processes. Additionally, the study also showed that mineral-lubricant base oils, which are difficult to degrade, significantly altered the diversity and composition of the microbiome. Overall, the findings demonstrate that BHT and mineral-lubricant base oils can substantially alter bacterial richness, structure, and function, potentially contributing to the difficulty in degrading lubricants. These findings have implications for the development of more biodegradable lubricants and the management of industrial waste containing lubricants.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) can accumulate in agriculture soil from the regular application of phosphorus (P) fertilizer. Microbiological method is considered as a potentially effective strategy that can not only remediate the Cd-contaminated soil but also provide the phosphorus needed for crop growth. However, the toxicity of Cd may affect the activity of microorganisms. To solve this problem, Klebsiella variicola with excellent phosphate solubilization ability (155.30 mg L-1 at 48 h) and Cd adsorption rate (90.84 % with 10 mg L-1 Cd initial concentration) was firstly isolated and identified in this study. Then, a phosphoric acid and ball milling co-modified biochar (PBC) was selected as the carrier to promote the activities of K. variicola under Cd pollution. Surface characterization revealed that the promotion of K. variicola by PBC was mainly attributed to the large specific surface area and diverse functional groups. Compared to contaminated soil, microbial PBC (MPBC) significantly increased the pakchoi biomass and phosphorus (P) content, while the Cd content in leave and root of pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) decreased by 25.90-43.46 % (P < 0.05). The combined application also favored the transformation of the resistant P fractions to bioavailable P, and facilitated the immobilization of 20.12 % exchangeable Cd to reducible, oxidizable, and residual Cd in the treated soil. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the response of the soil microbial community to the MPBC was more beneficial than K. variicola or PBC alone. Therefore, the application of MPBC has the potential to act as an efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly sustainable product for Cd remediation and enhanced P bioavailability in agricultural production.

Microbiological mechanism for "production while remediating" in Cd-contaminated paddy fields: A field experiment. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 885:163896.

Abstract
Security utilization measures (SUMs) for "production while remediating" in moderate and mild Cd-polluted paddy fields had been widely used. To investigate how SUMs drove rhizosphere soil microbial communities and reduced soil Cd bioavailability, a field experiment was conducted using soil biochemical analysis and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. Results showed that SUMs improved rice yield by increasing the number of effective panicles and filled grains, while also inhibiting soil acidification and enhancing disease resistance by improving soil enzyme activities. SUMs also reduced the accumulation of harmful Cd in rice grains and transformed it into FeMn oxidized Cd, organic-bound Cd, and residual Cd in rhizosphere soil. This was partly due to the higher degree of soil DOM aromatization, which helped complex the Cd with DOM. Additionally, the study also found that microbial activity was the primary source of soil DOM, and that SUMs increased the diversity of soil microbes and recruited many beneficial microbes (Arthrobacter, Candidatus_Solibacter, Bryobacter, Bradyrhizobium, and Flavisolibacter) associated with organic matter decomposition, plant growth promotion, and pathogen inhibition. Besides, special taxa (Bradyyrhizobium and Thermodesulfovibrio) involved in sulfate/sulfur ion generation and nitrate/nitrite reduction pathway were observably enriched, which effectively reduced the soil Cd bioavailability through adsorption and co-precipitation. Therefore, SUMs not only changed the soil physicochemical properties (e.g., pH), but also drove rhizosphere microbes to participate in the chemical species transformation of soil Cd, thus reducing Cd accumulation in rice grains.

Abstract
Currently, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) microbial inoculants are heavily used in agricultural production among which Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. are two excellent inoculum strains, which are widely used in plant growth promotion and disease control. However, few studies have been conducted on the combined use of the two bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of co-inoculation of these two bacteria on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] growth and physiological indexes and further study the effect of microbial inoculants on native soil bacterial communities and plant endophyte microbiota, especially microorganisms in rhizosphere and root. A pot experiment was conducted and four treatments were designed: group without any strain inoculant (CK); group inoculated with Pseudomonas chlororaphis H1 inoculant (J); group inoculated with Bacillus altitudinis Y1 inoculant (Y) and group inoculated with equal volume of P. chlororaphis H1 inoculant and B. altitudinis Y1 inoculant (H). Compared with CK, the three inoculant groups J, Y, and H exhibited improved soybean growth and physiological indexes, and group H was the most significant (p < 0.05). In terms of rhizosphere bacterial community structure, the relative abundance of native Luteimonas (9.31%) was higher in the H group than in the J (6.07%), Y (3.40%), and CK (5.69%) groups, which has potential value of disease suppression. Besides, compared with bacterial communities of the other three groups in soybean roots, group H increased the abundance of beneficial bacterial community for the contents of Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Devosia, and Methylobacillus significantly increased (p < 0.05). In conclusion, we found that the composite inoculum of Pseudomonas chlororaphis H1 and Bacillus altitudinis Y1 could effectively promote soybean growth, increase yield and improve the beneficial bacterial community in root and rhizosphere and have certain value for soil improvement.

Abstract
In the recent era, the increasing persistence of hazardous contaminants is badly affecting the globe in many ways. Due to high environmental contamination, almost every second species on earth facing the worst issue in their survival. Advances in newer remediation approaches may help enhance bioremediation's quality, while conventional procedures have failed to remove hazardous compounds from the environment. Chemical and physical waste cleanup approaches have been used in current circumstances; however, these methods are costly and harmful to the environment. Thus, there has been a rise in the use of bioremediation due to an increase in environmental contamination, which led to the development of genetically engineered microbes (GEMs). It is safer and more cost-effective to use engineered microorganisms rather than alternative methods. GEMs are created by introducing a stronger protein into bacteria through biotechnology or genetic engineering to enhance the desired trait. Biodegradation of oil spills, halobenzoates naphthalenes, toluenes, trichloroethylene, octanes, xylenes etc. has been accomplished using GEMs such bacteria, fungus, and algae. Biotechnologically induced microorganisms are more powerful than naturally occurring ones and may degrade contaminants faster because they can quickly adapt to new pollutants they encounter or co-metabolize. Genetic engineering is a worthy process that will benefit the environment and ultimately the health of our people.

Phytoremediation of DEHP and heavy metals co-contaminated soil by rice assisted with a PGPR consortium: Insights into the regulation of ion homeostasis, improvement of photosynthesis and enrichment of beneficial bacteria in rhizosphere soil. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 314:120303.

Abstract
The coexistence of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Cd, and Zn poses a serious challenge to soil ecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of rice assisted with a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortium for the remediation of DEHP, Cd, and Zn co-contaminated soil. The consortium consisted of four bacterial strains, all of which exhibited Cd-Zn resistance and DEHP degradability. The results showed that the rice assisted by the bacterial consortium dissipated 86.1% DEHP while removing 76.0% Cd2+ and 92.2% Zn2+ from soil within 30 d. The presence of the PGPR consortium promoted plant growth and improved soil enzymatic activity, which may have helped enhance the removal of DEHP and heavy metals from the soil. Moreover, the application of the consortium modified the bacterial community and increased the relative abundance of bacteria related to DEHP degradation (Sphingomonas, Xanthobacteraceae), heavy metal immobilization (Massilia), and soil nutrient cycling (Nitrospira, Vicinamibacterales), which promoted plant growth and the removal of DEHP and heavy metals from soil. Notably, the DEHP and heavy metal contents in rice decreased substantially during the phytoremediation process. Therefore, the PGPR consortium could be beneficial for enhancing the removal of DEHP and heavy metals from the soil, without inducing the accumulation of these pollutants in rice. In general, this study confirmed that the combined use of rice and the PGPR consortium could remedy DEHP and heavy metal co-contaminated soil economically and ecologically without simultaneously posing risks for rice consumption.

Wu Y, Sun J, Yu P, Zhang W, Lin Y, Ma D. The rhizosphere bacterial community contributes to the nutritional competitive advantage of weedy rice over cultivated rice in paddy soil. BMC Microbiol 2022; 22:232. [PMID: 36180838 PMCID: PMC9523940 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-022-02648-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Weedy rice competes for nutrients and living space with cultivated rice, which results in serious reductions in rice production. The rhizosphere bacterial community plays an important role in nutrient competition between species. It is therefore important to clarify the differences in the diversities of the inter rhizosphere bacterial community between cultivated rice and weedy rice. The differences in compositions and co-occurrence networks of the rhizosphere bacterial community of cultivated rice and weedy rice are largely unknown and thus the aim of our study. Results In our study, the different rhizosphere bacterial community structures in weedy rice (AW), cultivated rice (AY) and cultivated rice surrounded by weedy rice (WY) were determined based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The majority of the WY rhizosphere was enriched with unique types of microorganisms belonging to Burkholderia. The rhizosphere bacterial community showed differences in relative abundance among the three groups. Network analysis revealed a more complex co-occurrence network structure in the rhizosphere bacterial community of AW than in those of AY and WY due to a higher degree of Microbacteriaceae and Micrococcaceae in the network. Both network analysis and functional predictions reveal that weedy rice contamination dramatically impacts the iron respiration of the rhizosphere bacterial community of cultivated rice. Conclusions Our study shows that there are many differences in the rhizosphere bacterial community of weedy rice and cultivated rice. When cultivated rice was disturbed by weedy rice, the rhizosphere bacterial community and co-occurrence network also changed. The above differences tend to lead to a nutritional competitive advantage for weedy rice in paddy soils.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11172602. [PMID: 36076788 PMCID: PMC9455232 DOI: 10.3390/foods11172602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Fermentation ability and alcohol production ability are important quality indicators of Chinese liquor Daqu, reflecting microbial growth and metabolic capacity and ethanol production capacity of Daqu microbiota, respectively. However, information on the microbial community related to the fermentation ability and alcohol production ability is unclear. In this study, fermentation functional microbiota (FFM) and alcohol functional microbiota (AFM) were obtained by correlating fermentation ability and alcohol production ability with Daqu microbiota. FFM and AFM consisted of 50 and 49 genera, respectively, which were basically the same at the phylum level but differed at the genus level. Correlation analysis showed that FFM and AFM were mainly affected by moisture, acidity, and humidity in the early stage of Daqu fermentation, and oxygen content was a critical factor for microbial succession in the middle stage of fermentation. FFM and AFM had commensal or synergistic interactions with multiple microbes. Function predictions indicated that fermentation functional bacterial microbiota was active in product synthesis and transport-related metabolic functions, and alcohol functional bacterial microbiota was very active in raw material utilization and its own metabolic synthesis. This study reveals the structural characteristics and formation mechanism of FFM and AFM, which is important for control of Daqu quality.

Changes of Microbial Diversity in Rhizosphere of Different Cadmium-Gradients Soil under Irrigation with Reclaimed Water. SUSTAINABILITY 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/su14148891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Water scarcity and the uneven distribution of water resources in China have resulted in water shortages for agricultural irrigation in arid and semi-arid areas. Reclaimed water used for agricultural irrigation has become an effective solution in the context of the global water shortage. In order to improve soil productivity and solve the shortage of water resources, we carried out reclaimed water irrigation experiments on polluted soil. Compared with full irrigation treatments, the EC value of reclaimed water under deficit irrigation treatments decreased by 2.89–42.90%, and the content of organic matter increased by 6.31–12.10%. The proportion of Acidobacteria community in soils with different cadmium concentration gradients irrigated with reclaimed water ranged from 13.6% to 30.5%, its relative abundance decreased with the increase of soil cadmium concentration. In particular, the relative abundance of Pseudomonas pathogens in deficit irrigation treatments was lower than that of the full irrigation treatments. RDA analysis showed that the environmental factors that played a leading role in the change of microbial community structure were organic matter and pH. Furthermore, the metabolic function potential of the rhizosphere soil bacterial community in deficit irrigation treatments was higher than that of full irrigation treatments with reclaimed water. This study proved that reclaimed water irrigation for cadmium contaminated soil did not aggravate the pollution level and promoted the soil ecological environment with better microbial community diversity.
