Abstract
Woody plants possess great potential for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil. A pot trial was conducted to study growth, physiological response, and Cd and Pb uptake and distribution in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), as well as the rhizosphere bacterial communities in Cd and Pb co-contaminated soil. The results showed that R. pseudoacacia L. had strong physiological regulation ability in response to Cd and Pb stress in contaminated soil. The total chlorophyll, malondialdehyde (MDA), soluble protein, and sulfhydryl contents, as well as antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase) activities in R. pseudoacacia L. leaves under the 40 mg·kg-1 Cd and 1000 mg·kg-1 Pb co-contaminated soil were slightly altered. Cd uptake in R. pseudoacacia L. roots and stems increased, while the Pb content in the shoots of R. pseudoacacia L. under the combined Cd and Pb treatments decreased in relative to that in the single Pb treatments. The bacterial α-diversity indices (e.g., Sobs, Shannon, Simpson, Ace, and Chao) of R. pseudoacacia L. rhizosphere soil under Cd and Pb stress were changed slightly relative to the CK treatment. However, Cd and Pb stress could significantly (p < 0.05) alter the rhizosphere soil microbial communities. According to heat map and LEfSe (Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size) analysis, Bacillus, Sphingomonas, Terrabacter, Roseiflexaceae, Paenibacillus, and Myxococcaceae at the genus level were notably (p < 0.05) accumulated in the Cd- and/or Pb-contaminated soil. Furthermore, the MDA content was notably (p < 0.05) negatively correlated with the relative abundances of Isosphaeraceae, Gaiellales, and Gemmatimonas. The total biomass of R. pseudoacacia L. was positively (p < 0.05) correlated with the relative abundances of Xanthobacteraceae and Vicinamibacreraceae. Network analysis showed that Cd and Pb combined stress might enhance the modularization of bacterial networks in the R. pseudoacacia L. rhizosphere soil. Thus, the assembly of the soil bacterial communities in R. pseudoacacia L. rhizosphere may improve the tolerance of plants in response to Cd and/or Pb stress.

Abstract
Co-contamination by heavy metal and organic pollutant may negatively influence plant performance, and increasing the number of genotypes for a plant population may reduce this negative effect. To test this hypothesis, we constructed experimental populations of Hydrocotyle vulgaris consisting of single, four or eight genotypes in soils contaminated by cadmium, cypermethrin or both. Biomass, leaf area and stem internode length of H. vulgaris were significantly lower in the soil contaminated by cypermethrin and by both cadmium and cypermethrin than in the soil contaminated by cadmium only. A reverse pattern was found for specific internode length and specific leaf area. In general, genotypic richness or its interaction with soil contamination did not influence plant growth or morphology. However, soil nutrients varied in response to soil contamination and genotypic richness. Moreover, plant population growth was positively correlated to soil total nitrogen, but negatively correlated to total potassium and organic matter. We conclude that co-contamination by cadmium and cypermethrin may suppress the growth of H. vulgaris population compared to contamination by cadmium only, but genotypic richness may play little role in regulating these effects.

Abstract
It is widely known how acid rain negatively impacts plant physiology. However, the magnitude of these effects may depend on soil types. Although the response of aboveground parts has received much attention, the effects of soil types and acid rain on underground processes are yet to be studied, specifically with respect to the composition and diversity of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere. Based on a high throughput sequencing approach, this study examined how different soil types, acid rain of different pH, and interactions between the two factors influenced the growth and rhizosphere bacterial communities of Jatropha curcas L. The present study pointed out that the soil pH, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), and total organic carbon/total nitrogen (C/N) were more related to soil type than to acid rain. The growth of J. curcas aboveground was mainly affected by acid rain, while the underground growth was mainly influenced by soil type. Changes in bacterial abundance indicated that the genera (Burkholderia-Paraburkholde, Bryobacter, Cupriavidus, Mycobacterium, and Leptospirillu) and phyla (Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria) could likely resist acid rain to some extent, with Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes and Proteobacteria being well adapted to the copiotrophic environments. Results of correlational analyses between Firmicutes and soil properties (pH, TN, TK) further indicated that this phylum was also well adapted to a nutrient-deficient habitat of low pH. Finally, while Mycobacterium and Bradyrhizobium could adapt to low pH, high soil TK contents were not conducive to their enrichment. The results also showed that acid rain shifted the bacterial groups from fast-growing copiotrophic populations to slow-growing oligotrophic ones. The RDA analysis, and Pearson's rank correlation coefficients indicated that soil pH and TK were the main factors influencing bacterial richness.

Abstract
The Polygonum sibiricum (Laxm.) Tzvelev, an important herbal species used to protect seawalls, has a solid resistance to salinity and alkali and can grow on alkali spots in saline–alkali soils. So far, the composition, population, and characteristics of its rhizosphere biological community related to the adaptation salt–alkali environment were still unknown. In the present study, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples from the P. sibiricum on Chenier Island were collected. High-throughput sequencing was conducted to obtain the structural diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities. Our results showed that the dominant bacteria groups in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Gemmatimonadota, and Actinobacteriota. The dominant fungi groups in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Mortierellomycota. The results of the ASVs (amplicon sequence variants) showed that fungi have more ASVs in common. The PERMANOVA analysis showed that the bacteria among different groups were significantly different. The PCoA (principal coordinates analysis) study also showed that the structures of the bacterial and fungal communities between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere were distinct. Function results showed that the relative abundance in COG (Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins) functional annotation was significantly different between the two groups. In addition to the general function prediction and carbohydrate transport and metabolism, the COG of the non-rhizosphere was higher than that of the rhizosphere. Our findings benefited the knowledge for studying and conserving the molecule-level adaptive mechanisms of P. sibiricum.

Abstract
Soil contamination with potentially toxic element such as chromium (Cr) poses a threat to the environment and human health. The environmental toxicity of Cr is related not only to the total Cr content but also to the distribution of Cr fractions. In this study, laboratory simulation experiments were conducted to explore the characteristics of Cr fractions and responses of the functional microbial community during dynamic leaching and static drying processes. The results showed that acid-soluble Cr and reducible Cr transformed into other relatively stable fractions under dry conditions, and ammonium nitrogen promoted the transformation. Nitrate-nitrogen was significantly positively correlated with Cr fractions in the wet stage (p < 0.05), while ammonium nitrogen showed the same relation in the dry process. Analysis of the microbial community showed that the bacterial and fungal genera Flavihumibacter, Altererythrobacter, Methylobacillus, Flavisolibacter, Lysobacter, and Cladosporium were related to the Cr fractions (acid-soluble Cr, reducible Cr, and oxidizable Cr) under wet conditions, while the microbial genera Ellin6067, MND1, and Ramlibacter were related to Cr fractions under dry conditions. Moreover, the proliferation of the functional microbial genera Methylobacillus, Ellin6067, and MND1 related to Cr fractions in the wet–dry conversion process alleviated the environmental toxicity of Cr. These findings provide useful information for the remediation of Cr-contaminated soils by monitoring the distribution fractions of Cr and the functional microbial community under wet–dry conditions.

Abstract
Microbial community structures and keystone species play critical roles in soil ecological processes; however, their responses to the continuous cropping of plants are virtually unknown. Here, we investigated the community dynamics and keystone species of fungal communities in the rhizosphere soils of continuously cropped Tibetan barley (a principal cereal cultivated on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau). We found that the Chao1 and Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) indices decreased with increased cropping years. The relative abundance of the genera Cystofilobasidium, Mucor, and Ustilago increased with the extension of continuous cropping years, whereas Fusarium showed the opposite pattern. Furthermore, long-term monocropped Tibetan barley simplified the complexity of the co-occurrence networks. Keystone operational taxonomic units (OTUs) changed with continuous cropping, and most of the keystone OTUs belonged to the phylum Ascomycota, suggesting their important roles in rhizosphere soil. Overall, this study revealed that the continuous cropping of Tibetan barley impacted both on the richness, phylogenetic diversity, and co-occurrence network of fungal community in the rhizosphere. These findings enhance our understanding of how rhizosphere fungal communities respond to monocropped Tibetan barley.

Abstract
Seagrasses are an important part of the coral reef ecosystem, and their rhizosphere microbes are of great ecological importance. However, variations in diversity, composition, and potential functions of bacterial communities in the seagrass rhizosphere of coral reef ecosystems remain unclear. This study employed the high-throughput sequencing based on 16S rDNA gene sequences and functional annotation of prokaryotic taxa (FAPROTAX) analysis to investigate these variations based on seagrass species and sampling locations, respectively. Results demonstrated that the seagrass rhizosphere microbial community was mainly dominated by phylum Proteobacteria (33.47%), Bacteroidetes (23.33%), and Planctomycetes (12.47%), while functional groups were mainly composed of sulfate respiration (14.09%), respiration of sulfur compounds (14.24%), aerobic chemoheterotrophy (20.87%), and chemoheterotrophy (26.85%). Significant differences were evident in alpha diversity, taxonomical composition and putative functional groups based on seagrass species and sampling locations. Moreover, the core microbial community of all investigated samples was identified, accounting for 63.22% of all obtained sequences. Network analysis indicated that most microbes had a positive correlation (82.41%), and two module hubs (phylum Proteobacteria) were investigated. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between the OTUs numbers obtained and the functional groups assigned for seagrass rhizosphere microbial communities (p < 0.01). Our result would facilitate future investigation of the function of seagrass rhizosphere microbes.

Enhanced phytoextraction of multi-metal contaminated soils under increased atmospheric temperature by bioaugmentation with plant growth promoting Bacillus cereus. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 289:112553. [PMID: 33857710 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The co-occurrence of environmental stresses such as heavy metals (HM) and increased atmospheric temperature (IAT) pose serious implications on plant growth and productivity. In this work, we evaluated the role of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and its effectiveness on Zea mays growth, stress tolerance and phytoremediation potential in multi-metal (MM) contaminated soils under IAT stress conditions. The PGPB strain TCU11 was isolated from metal contaminated soils and identified as Bacillus cereus. TCU11 was able to resist abiotic stresses such as IAT (45 °C), MM (Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, and Cd), antibiotics and induced in vitro plant growth promotion (PGP) by producing siderophores (catechol and hydroxymate) and indole 3-acetic acid even in the presence of MM under IAT. Inoculation of TCU11 significantly increased the biomass, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and protein content of Z. mays compared to the respective control under MM, IAT, and MM + IAT stress. A decrease of malondialdehyde and over-accumulation of total phenolics, proline along with the increased activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbic peroxidase were observed in TCU11 inoculated plants under stress conditions. These results suggested MM and/or IAT significantly reduced the maize growth, whereas TCU11 inoculation mitigated the combined stress effects on maize performance. Moreover, the inoculation of TCU11 under IAT stress increased the MM (Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, and Cd) accumulation in plant tissues and also increased the translocation of HM from root to shoot except for Ni. The results of soil HM mobilization further indicates that IAT increased the HM mobilizing activity of TCU11, thus increasing the concentrations of bio-available HM in soil. These results suggested that TCU11 not only alleviates MM and IAT stresses but also enhances the biomass production and HM accumulation in plants. Therefore, TCU11 can be exploited as inoculums for improving the phytoremediation efficiency in MM polluted soils under IAT conditions.

A consecutive 4-year elevated air temperature shaped soil bacterial community structure and metabolic functional groups in the rhizosphere of black locust seedlings exposed to lead pollution. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 732:139273. [PMID: 32428772 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Global warming may influence the bioavailability and mobility of heavy metals by stimulating or inhibiting plant growth, thereby influencing rhizosphere soil chemistry and microbial characteristics. Black locust has been widely planted in China as a promising species for afforestation programs, farmland shelterbelt projects, and soil restoration in mined areas because of its rapid growth and adaptability to environmental stressors. Here, we examined soil bacterial community structure and predicted bacterial metabolic function in the rhizosphere of black locust exposed to elevated temperature (+1.99 °C) and Pb for 4 years. Elevated temperature significantly (p < 0.05) reduced total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), and total sulfur (TS) contents in above-ground parts but increased TC and TN contents in roots and seedling height under Pb exposure. Elevated temperature significantly (p < 0.05) increased Pb availability and raised pH, TC, TN, TS and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) contents, and the C:H ratio in rhizosphere soils under Pb exposure. The interactive effects between Pb and temperature on pH, TC, TH, TS, WSOC, and the C:H ratio were significant (p < 0.05). Elevated temperature significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the diversity and the richness of bacterial community, altered genus-level bacterial community composition, and improved (p < 0.05) the relative abundances of some bacteria involving in terpenoids and polyketides and xenobiotics biodegradation metabolism under Pb exposure. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that pH, WSOC, C:N ratio, and soluble Pb were significant (p < 0.05) factors on the relative abundance of bacterial genera, such as Ochrobactrum and Sphingomnas. Overall, long-term elevated temperature resulted in changes in rhizosphere soil characteristics and Pb availability, thus affecting the bacterial community structure and metabolic functional groups. The conclusion helps us understand the response mechanism of soil bacteria in the rhizosphere to heavy metals under global warming scenarios.

Sci Rep 2020; 10:13540. [PMID: 32782287 PMCID: PMC7419555 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-70612-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
The soil physicochemical properties and soil microbial communities were affected by different fertilizer management. Fertilizer regime were closely relative to the soil texture and nutrient status in a double-cropping paddy field of southern China. However, there was limited information about the influence of different manure nitrogen (N) input on soil microbial communities in a double-cropping rice (Oryza sativa L.) field. Therefore, the short-term different manure N input rate management on soil bacterial and fungal diversity in a double-cropping paddy field of southern China were studied by using Illumina sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction technology in the present paper. The filed experiment were including 100% N of chemical fertilizer (M0), 30% N of organic manure and 70% N of chemical fertilizer (M30), 50% N of organic manure and 50% N of chemical fertilizer (M50), 100% N of organic manure (M100), and without N fertilizer input as control (CK). The results showed that diversity indices of soil microbial communities with application of organic manure and chemical N fertilizer treatments were higher than that of CK treatment. Application of organic manure and chemical N fertilizer management increase soil bacterial abundance of the phylum Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria, and soil fungi abundance of the phylum Basidiomycota and Zygomycota were also increased. Compared with CK treatment, the value of Richness, Shannon and McIntosh indices, and taxonomic diversity were increased with M30, M50 and M100 treatments. This finding demonstrated that M30, M50 and M100 treatments modify soil bacterial and fungal diversity. Therefore, the combined application of organic manure and chemical fertilizer N management could significantly increase the abundance of profitable functional bacteria and fungi species in a double-cropping rice field of southern China.

Response of rhizospheric and endophytic bacterial communities of white mustard (Sinapis alba) to bioaugmentation of soil with the Pseudomonas sp. H15 strain. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 194:110434. [PMID: 32155483 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Revised: 02/08/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
A factor that may significantly increase the efficacy of phytoextraction is soil bioaugmentation with specific bacteria, which can alter the composition of rhizospheric and endophytic bacterial communities. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of soil treatment with living (bioaugmentation) and dead (control) cells of the plant growth-promoting metal-resistant endophytic strain Pseudomonas sp. H15 on the bacterial community composition in the rhizo- and endo-sphere of white mustard during enhanced phytoextraction. The bacterial communities in the rhizosphere were dominated (51.7-68.2%) by Proteobacteria, regardless of the soil treatment or sampling point. A temporary increase in the number of sequences belonging to Gammaproteobacteria (up to 37.3%) was only observed 24 h after the soil treatment with living Pseudomonas sp. H15 cells, whereas for the remaining samples, the relative abundance of this class did not exceed 7.1%. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria in the endosphere of the roots, stems, and leaves of white mustard was higher in the control than in bioaugmented plants. The most pronounced dominance of the Gammaproteobacteria sequences was observed in the stems and leaves of the control plants at the first sampling point, which strongly indicates the ability of the plants to rapidly uptake DNA from soil and translocate it to the aboveground parts of the plants. Additionally, the bioaugmentation of the soil caused a diverse shift in the bacterial communities in the rhizo- and endo-sphere of white mustard compared to control. The most distinct differences, which were dependent on the treatment, were observed in the endosphere of plants at the beginning of the experiment and decreased over time. These results indicate that the rhizo- and endo-biome of white mustard reacts to soil bioaugmentation and may influence the efficiency of bacterial-assisted phytoextraction.

Assessing Chromium Contamination in Red Soil: Monitoring the Migration of Fractions and the Change of Related Microorganisms. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17082835. [PMID: 32326110 PMCID: PMC7215348 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17082835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The improper stacking of chromium (Cr) slag poses a great threat to the environment and human health. The toxicity of Cr in soil is not only related to its total amount, but also to its fractions. A simulated experiment was conducted in laboratory to assess the environmental risk of Cr fractions migration and distribution in red soil. The results showed the content of acid-soluble and reducible Cr significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in top layer but increased in middle and substratum layers over time. This indicated that acid-soluble and reducible Cr migrated downward with time and the relative mobility of acid-soluble Cr (0.038 mg/kg·d·m) was higher than that of reducible Cr (0.028 mg/kg·d·m). Furthermore, correlation analysis between microbial community and chromium fraction showed the relative abundance of Lysobacter, Flavihumibacter, Flavisolbacter, and Altererythrobacter was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with acid-soluble and reducible fractions. Thus, these microorganisms might be evaluators to assess the migration of acid-soluble and reducible fractions in red soil. In summary, this study provided a new comprehension on remediation of Cr-contaminated soil by monitoring the migration of acid-soluble and reducible fractions and the changes of related microbial groups.

Abstract
Climate change has increased flooding frequency, making the heavy metal polluted areas more vulnerable, and led to increased global land degradation. Information about the alteration of soil microbiota under heavy metal pollution and flooding is still rather limited. Fast-growing trees are candidates for phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils. Therefore, the impact of Cu pollution on microbiota in soil used for cultivating Salix integra Thunb. was investigated with and without flooding for 60 d. Bacterial and fungal communities were accessed via partial 16S rRNA (V3-V4) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes. The activity of invertase, urease and cellulase were markedly decreased by 28.5-59%, 55.0-76.7% and 17.3-34.1%, respectively, with increasing Cu levels. Flooding significantly increased the activity of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase by 56.3% and 41.4% at the highest Cu level compared to its respective non-flooded condition. High Cu concentration significantly decreased the richness and diversity of the bacterial community, and fungi were more sensitive than bacteria under flooding conditions. Redundancy analysis suggests that Cu, Fe and soil organic matter are the key determinants affecting the composition of microbial communities. Our findings provide new insight into the responses of soil microbes to Cu-contamination and contribute to our understanding of metal toxicity in soil-woody plant systems under flooded conditions.
