Abstract
Fritillaria cirrhosa is an important cash crop, and its industrial development is being hampered by continuous cropping obstacles, but the composition and changes of rhizosphere soil microorganisms and metabolites in the cultivation process of Fritillaria cirrhosa have not been revealed. We used metagenomics sequencing to analyze the changes of the microbiome in rhizosphere soil during a three-year cultivation process, and combined it with LC-MS/MS to detect the changes of metabolites. Results indicate that during the cultivation of Fritillaria cirrhosa, the composition and structure of the rhizosphere soil microbial community changed significantly, especially regarding the relative abundance of some beneficial bacteria. The abundance of Bradyrhizobium decreased from 7.04% in the first year to about 5% in the second and third years; the relative abundance of Pseudomonas also decreased from 6.20% in the first year to 2.22% in the third year; and the relative abundance of Lysobacter decreased significantly from more than 4% in the first two years of cultivation to 1.01% in the third year of cultivation. However, the relative abundance of some harmful fungi has significantly increased, such as Botrytis, which increased significantly from less than 3% in the first two years to 7.93% in the third year, and Talaromyces fungi, which were almost non-existent in the first two years of cultivation, significantly increased to 3.43% in the third year of cultivation. The composition and structure of Fritillaria cirrhosa rhizosphere metabolites also changed significantly, the most important of which were carbohydrates represented by sucrose (48.00-9.36-10.07%) and some amino acid compounds related to continuous cropping obstacles. Co-occurrence analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between differential microorganisms and differential metabolites, but Procrustes analysis showed that the relationship between bacteria and metabolites was closer than that between fungi and metabolites. In general, in the process of Fritillaria cirrhosa cultivation, the beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere decreased, the harmful bacteria increased, and the relative abundance of carbohydrate and amino acid compounds related to continuous cropping obstacles changed significantly. There is a significant correlation between microorganisms and metabolites, and the shaping of the Fritillaria cirrhosa rhizosphere's microecology by bacteria is more relevant.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 275:116268.

Abstract
Legume-based rotation is commonly recognized for its mitigation efficiency of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, variations in GHG emission-associated metabolic functions during the legume-vegetable rotation process remain largely uncharacterized. Accordingly, a soybean-radish rotation field experiment was designed to clarify the responses of microbial communities and their GHG emission-associated functional metabolism through metagenomics. The results showed that the contents of soil organic carbon and total phosphorus significantly decreased during the soybean-radish process (P < 0.05), while soil total potassium content and bacterial richness and diversity significantly increased (P < 0.05). Moreover, the predominant bacterial phyla varied, with a decrease in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and an increase in the relative abundance of Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Chloroflexi. Metagenomics clarified that bacterial carbohydrate metabolism substantially increased during the rotation process, whereas formaldehyde assimilation, methanogenesis, nitrification, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction decreased (P < 0.05). Specifically, the expression of phosphate acetyltransferase (functional methanogenesis gene, pta) and nitrate reductase gamma subunit (functional dissimilatory nitrate reduction gene, narI) was inhibited, indicating of low methane production and nitrogen metabolism. Additionally, the partial least squares path model revealed that the Shannon diversity index was negatively correlated with methane and nitrogen metabolism (P < 0.01), further demonstrating that the response of the soil bacterial microbiome responses are closely linked with GHG-associated metabolism during the soybean-radish rotation process. Collectively, our findings shed light on the responses of soil microbial communities to functional metabolism associated with GHG emissions and provide important insights to mitigate GHG emissions during the rotational cropping of legumes and vegetables.

Abstract
The Tibetan Plateau is located in southwestern China. It has many important ecological functions, such as biodiversity protection, and is an important grassland agroecosystem in China. With the development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry, antibiotics are widely used to treat humans and livestock, and antibiotics cannot be fully metabolised by both. Antibiotics eventually find their way into the environment, affecting other parts of grassland agroecosystems. Triticale (Triticosecale wittmack) is an artificial hybrid forage that can be used for both grain and forage. This study revealed the diversity of seedborne bacteria in triticale on the Tibetan Plateau and the resistance of the bacteria to nine antibiotics. It identified 37 representative strains and successfully obtained the spliced sequences of 36 strains of the bacteria, which were clustered into 5 phyla and 16 genera. Among them, 18 strains showed resistance to at least one of the 9 antibiotics, and the colony-forming unit (CFU) abundance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) accounted for 45.38% of the total samples. Finally, the bacterial motility and biofilm formation ability were measured, and their correlation with bacterial resistance was analysed. The results showed that the bacterial resistance did not have an absolute positive correlation with the motility or biofilm formation ability.

Abstract
The utilization of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has emerged as a prominent focus in contemporary research on soil microbiology, microecology, and plant stress tolerance. However, how PGPR influence the soil bacterial community and related ecological functions remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three natural PGPR inoculations (YL07, Planococcus soli WZYH02; YL10, Bacillus atrophaeus WZYH01; YL0710, Planococcus soli WZYH02 and Bacillus atrophaeus WZYH01) on maize (Zea mays L.) growth under two salt stress conditions (S1, ECe = 2.1 ~ 2.5 dS/m; S2, ECe = 5.5 ~ 5.9 dS/m). The results revealed that compared to the control (CK), the average plant height of maize seedlings significantly increased by 27%, 23%, and 29% with YL07, YL10, and YL0710 inoculation under S1 conditions, respectively, and increased by 30%, 20%, and 18% under S2 conditions, respectively. Moreover, PGPR inoculation positively influenced the content of superoxide dismutase, catalase, soluble sugar, and proline in maize under salt stress. Subsequent analysis of alpha diversity indices, relative microbial abundance, principal coordinate analysis, cladograms, and linear discriminant analysis effect size histograms indicated significant alterations in the rhizosphere microbial community due to PGPR inoculation. FAPROTAX analysis demonstrated that YL10 inoculation in S2 rhizosphere soil had a notable impact on carbon cycle functions, specifically chemoheterotrophy, fermentation, and phototrophy. Thus, this study provides evidence that PGPR inoculation improves soil microbial communities and plant indices under salt stress. These findings shed light on the potential of PGPR as a viable approach for enhancing plant stress tolerance and fostering sustainable agricultural practices.

Under flooding conditions, controlled-release fertiliser coated microplastics affect the growth and accumulation of cadmium in rice by increasing the fluidity of cadmium and interfering with metabolic pathways. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 901:166434. [PMID: 37598965 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
The combined pollution of microplastics (MPs) and Cd can affect plant growth and development and Cd accumulation, with most studies focusing on dryland soil. However, the effects of polyurethane (PU) controlled-release fertiliser coated MPs (PU MPs), which widely exist in rice systems, coupled with Cd on plant growth and Cd accumulation under flooding conditions are still unknown. Therefore, in the present study, in situ techniques were used to systematically study the effects of PU MPs and Cd coupling on the physiological and biochemical performance, metabolomics characteristics, rhizosphere bacterial community, and Cd bioavailability of rice in different soil types (red soil/cinnamon soil). The results showed that the effects of PU MPs on rice growth and Cd accumulation were concentration-dependent, especially in red soil. High PU concentration (1 %) inhibited rice root growth significantly (44 %). The addition of PU MPs inhibited photosynthetically active radiation, net photosynthesis, and transpiration rate of rice, mainly with low concentration (0.1 %) in red soil and high concentration (1 %) in cinnamon soil. PU MPs can enhance the expression of Cd resistance genes (cadC and copA) in soil, enhance the mobility of Cd, and affect the metabolic pathways of metabolites in the rhizosphere soil (red soil: fatty acid metabolism; cinnamon soil: amino acid degradation, heterobiodegradation, and nucleotide metabolism) to promote Cd absorption in rice. Especially in red soil, Cd accumulation in the root and aboveground parts of rice after the addition of high concentration PU (1 %) was 1.7 times and 1.3 times, respectively, that of the control (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, microorganisms can affect rice growth and Cd bioavailability by affecting functional bacteria related to carbon, iron, sulfur, and manganese. The results of the present study provide novel insights into the potential effects of PU MPs coupled with Cd on plants, rhizosphere bacterial communities, and Cd bioavailability.

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
BACKGROUND Rapeseed cake is an important agricultural waste. After enzymatic fermentation, rapeseed cake not only has specific microbial diversity but also contains a lot of fatty acids, organic acids, amino acids and their derivatives, which has potential value as a high-quality organic fertilizer. However, the effects of fermented rapeseed cake on tea rhizosphere microorganisms and soil metabolites have not been reported. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of enzymatic rapeseed cake fertilizer on the soil of tea tree, and to reveal the correlation between rhizosphere soil microorganisms and nutrients/metabolites. RESULTS The results showed that: (1) The application of enzymatic rapeseed cake increased the contents of soil organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), available nitrogen (AN), and available phosphorus (AP); increased the activities of soil urease (S-UE), soil catalase (S-CAT), soil acid phosphatase (S-ACP) and soil sucrase (S-SC); (2) The application of enzymatic rapeseed cake increased the relative abundance of beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms such as Chaetomium, Inocybe, Pseudoxanthomonas, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, and Stenotrophomonas; (3) The application of enzymatic rapeseed cake increased the contents of sugar, organic acid, and fatty acid in soil, and the key metabolic pathways were concentrated in sugar and fatty acid metabolisms; (4) The application of enzymatic rapeseed cake promoted the metabolism of sugar, organic acid, and fatty acid in soil by key rhizosphere microorganisms; enzymes and microorganisms jointly regulated the metabolic pathways of sugar and fatty acids in soil. CONCLUSIONS Enzymatic rapeseed cake fertilizer improved the nutrient status and microbial structure of tea rhizosphere soil, which was beneficial for enhancing soil productivity in tea plantations. These findings provide new insights into the use of enzymatic rapeseed cake as an efficient organic fertilizer and expand its potential for application in tea plantations.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:95931-95944. [PMID: 37561302 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29181-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
With continued anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen (N) into the environment, non-point source N pollutants produced in winter cannot be ignored. As the water-soil interface zones, riparian wetlands play important roles in intercepting and buffering N pollutants. However, winter has the antagonistic effect on the N removal. Substrate improvement has been suggested as a strategy to optimize wetland performance and there remain many uncertainties about the inner mechanism. This study explores the effects of substrate improvement on N removal in winter and rhizospheric crosstalk between reed (Phragmites australis) and microbes in subtropical riparian reed wetlands. The rates of wetland N removal in winter, root metabolite profiles, and rhizosphere soil microbial community compositions were determined following the addition of different substrates (gravel, gravel + biochar, ceramsite + biochar, and modified ceramsite + biochar) to natural riparian soil. The results showed that the addition of different substrates to initial soil enhanced N removal from the microcosms in winter. Gravel addition increased NH4+-N removal by 8.3% (P < 0.05). Gravel + biochar addition increased both TN and NH4+-N removals by 8.9% (P < 0.05). The root metabolite characteristics and microbial community compositions showed some variations under different substrate additions compared to the initial soil. The three treatments involving biochar addition decreased lipid metabolites and enhanced the contents and variety of carbon sources in rhizosphere soil, while modified ceramsite + biochar addition treatment had a greater impact on the microbial community structure. There was evidence for a complex crosstalk between plants and microbes in the rhizosphere, and some rhizosphere metabolites were seen to be significantly correlated with the bacterial composition of the rhizospheric microbial community. These results highlighted the importance of rhizospheric crosstalk in regulating winter N removal in riparian reed wetland, provided a scientific reference for the protection and restoration of riparian reed areas and the prevention and control of non-point source pollution.

Abstract
The application of novel bioorganic fertilizer (BIO) has been established as a weed biocontrol strategy, and reduce herbicides pollution and negatively effects on agricultural ecosystems. However, its long-term influences on soil bacterial communities are unknown. Here, 16 S rRNA sequencing to identify the changes that occur in soil bacterial community and enzyme under BIO treatments after five years in a field experiment. BIO application effectively controlled weeds, however no obvious differences between treatments were observed under BIO-50, BIO-100, BIO-200 and BIO-400 treatment. Anaeromyxobacter and Clostridium_ sensu_ stricto_1 were the two dominant genera among BIO-treated soil samples. The BIO-800 treatment had a slight influence on the species diversity index, which was more remarkable after five years. The seven significantly-different genera between BIO-800 treatment and untreated soils included C._sensu_stricto_1, Syntrophorhabdus, Candidatus_Koribacter, Rhodanobacter, Bryobacter, Haliangium, Anaeromyxobacter. In addition, BIO application had different effects on soil enzymatic activities and chemical properties. The extractable P and pH saliency correlated with Haliangium and C._Koribacter, and C._sensu_stricto_1 observably correlated with exchangeable K, hydrolytic N and organic matter. Taken together, our data suggest that BIO application effectively controlled weeds and a slight influence on soil bacterial communities and enzymes. These findings expand our knowledge of the application of BIO as widely used as a sustainable weed control in rice paddy.

Perenniality, more than genotypes, shapes biological and chemical rhizosphere composition of perennial wheat lines. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1172857.

Abstract
Perennial grains provide various ecosystem services compared to the annual counterparts thanks to their extensive root system and permanent soil cover. However, little is known about the evolution and diversification of perennial grains rhizosphere and its ecological functions over time. In this study, a suite of -OMICSs - metagenomics, enzymomics, metabolomics and lipidomics - was used to compare the rhizosphere environment of four perennial wheat lines at the first and fourth year of growth in comparison with an annual durum wheat cultivar and the parental species Thinopyrum intermedium. We hypothesized that wheat perenniality has a greater role in shaping the rhizobiome composition, biomass, diversity, and activity than plant genotypes because perenniality affects the quality and quantity of C input - mainly root exudates - hence modulating the plant-microbes crosstalk. In support of this hypothesis, the continuous supply of sugars in the rhizosphere along the years created a favorable environment for microbial growth which is reflected in a higher microbial biomass and enzymatic activity. Moreover, modification in the rhizosphere metabolome and lipidome over the years led to changes in the microbial community composition favoring the coexistence of more diverse microbial taxa, increasing plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Despite the dominance of the perenniality effect, our data underlined that the OK72 line rhizobiome distinguished from the others by the increase in abundance of Pseudomonas spp., most of which are known as potential beneficial microorganisms, identifying this line as a suitable candidate for the study and selection of new perennial wheat lines.

Abstract
Kiwifruit bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a severe global disease. However, effective biological control agents for controlling Psa are currently unavailable. This study aimed to screen potential biological control agents against Psa from the kiwifruit rhizosphere. In this study, a total of 722 isolates of bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of kiwifruit orchards in five regions of China. A total of 82 strains of rhizosphere bacteria showed antagonistic effects against Psa on plates. Based on amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), these antagonistic rhizosphere bacteria were grouped into 17 clusters. BLAST analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed 95.44%-100% sequence identity to recognized species. The isolated strains belonged to genus Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Flavobacterium, Glutamicibacter, Lysinibacillus, Lysobacter, Pseudomonas, Pseudarthrobacter, and Streptomyces, respectively. A total of four representative strains were selected to determine their extracellular metabolites and cell-free supernatant activity against Psa in vitro. They all produce protease and none of them produce glucanase. One strain of Pseudomonas sp. produces siderophore. Strains of Bacillus spp. and Flavobacteria sp. produce cellulase, and Flavobacteria sp. also produce chitinase. Our results suggested that the kiwifruit rhizosphere soils contain a variety of antagonistic bacteria that effectively inhibit the growth of Psa.

Abstract
Introduction Microbial communities in the plant rhizosphere are critical for nutrient cycling and ecosystem stability. However, how root exudates and soil physicochemical characteristics affect microbial community composition in Populus rhizosphere is not well understood. Methods This study measured soil physiochemistry properties and root exudates in a representative forest consists of four Populus species. The composition of rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities was determined by metabolomics and high-throughput sequencing. Results Luvangetin, salicylic acid, gentisic acid, oleuropein, strigol, chrysin, and linoleic acid were the differential root exudates extracted in the rhizosphere of four Populus species, which explained 48.40, 82.80, 48.73, and 59.64% of the variance for the dominant and key bacterial or fungal communities, respectively. Data showed that differential root exudates were the main drivers of the changes in the rhizosphere microbial communities. Nitrosospira, Microvirga, Trichoderma, Cortinarius, and Beauveria were the keystone taxa in the rhizosphere microbial communities, and are thus important for maintaining a stable Populus microbial rhizosphere. The differential root exudates had strong impact on key bacteria than dominant bacteria, key fungi, and dominant fungi. Moreover, strigol had positively effects with bacteria, whereas phenolic compounds and chrysin were negatively correlated with rhizosphere microorganisms. The assembly process of the community structure (keystone taxa and bacterial dominant taxa) was mostly determined by stochastic processes. Discussion This study showed the association of rhizosphere microorganisms (dominant and keystone taxa) with differential root exudates in the rhizosphere of Populus plants, and revealed the assembly process of the dominant and keystone taxa. It provides a theoretical basis for the identification and utilization of beneficial microorganisms in Populus rhizosphere.

Environmental Response to Root Secondary Metabolite Accumulation in Paeonia lactiflora: Insights from Rhizosphere Metabolism and Root-Associated Microbial Communities. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0280022. [PMID: 36318022 PMCID: PMC9769548 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02800-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Paeonia lactiflora is a commercial crop with horticultural and medicinal value. Although interactions between plants and microbes are increasingly evident and considered to be drivers of ecosystem service, the regulatory relationship between microbial communities and the growth and root metabolites of P. lactiflora is less well known. Here, soil metabolomics indicated that carbohydrates and organic acids were enriched in the rhizosphere (RS) with higher diversity. Moreover, the variation of root-associated microbiotas between the bulk soil (BS) and the RS of P. lactiflora was investigated via 16S rRNA and internally transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing. The RS displayed a low-diversity community dominated by copiotrophs, whereas the BS showed an oligotroph-dominated, high-diversity community. Hierarchical partitioning showed that cation exchange capacity (CEC) was the main factor affecting microbial community diversity. The null model and the dispersion niche continuum index (DNCI) suggested that stochastic processes (dispersal limitation) dominated the community assembly of both the RS and BS. The bacterial-fungal interkingdom networks illustrated that the RS possessed more complex and stable co-occurrence patterns. Meanwhile, positive link numbers and positive cohesion results revealed more cooperative relationships among microbes in the RS. Additionally, random forest model prediction and two partial least-squares path model (PLS-PM) analyses showed that the P. lactiflora root secondary metabolites were comprehensively impacted by soil water content (SWC), mean annual precipitation (MAP), pH (abiotic), and Alternaria (biotic). Collectively, this study provides a theoretical basis for screening the microbiome associated with the active components of P. lactiflora. IMPORTANCE Determining the taxonomic and functional components of the rhizosphere microbiome, as well as how they differ from those of the bulk soil microbiome, is critical for manipulating them to improve plant growth performance and increase agricultural yields. Soil metabolic profiles can help enhance the understanding of rhizosphere exudates. Here, we explored the regulatory relationship across environmental variables (root-associated microbial communities and soil metabolism) in the accumulation of secondary metabolites of P. lactiflora. Overall, this work improves our knowledge of how the rhizosphere affects soil and microbial communities. These observations improve the understanding of plant-microbiome interactions and introduce new horizons for synthetic community investigations as well as the creation of microbiome technologies for agricultural sustainability.

Abstract
Intercropping systems have been studied as a sustainable agricultural planting pattern to increase soil quality and crop yields. However, the relationships between metabolites and soil physicochemical properties remain poorly understood under sugarcane/peanut intercropping system. Thus, we determined the rhizosphere soil physicochemical properties, and analyzed rhizosphere soil metabolites and root metabolites by metabolomics method under monoculture and intercropping patterns of sugarcane and peanut. The results showed that pH, the contents of total phosphorus (P), total potassium (K), available nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), and available potassium (K) were higher in rhizosphere soil of intercropping peanut than monoculture peanut, and the content of total P was higher in rhizosphere soil of intercropping sugarcane than monoculture sugarcane. Sugarcane/peanut intercropping also significantly increased the activities of acid phosphatase and urease in rhizosphere soil. The metabolomics results showed that 32 metabolites, mainly organic acids and their derivatives (25.00%), nucleotides and their metabolites (18.75%), were detected in root and rhizosphere soil samples. In the MP-S (rhizosphere soil of monoculture peanut) vs. IP-S (rhizosphere soil of intercropping peanut) comparison, 47 differential metabolites (42 upregulated) were screened, including glycerolipids (19.15%), organic acids and their derivatives (17.89%), and amino acids and their metabolites (12.77%). In the MS-S (rhizosphere soil of monoculture sugarcane) vs. IS-S (rhizosphere soil of intercropping sugarcane) comparison, 51 differential metabolites (26 upregulated) were screened, including heterocyclic compounds (15.69%), glycerolipids (11.76%), and organic acids and their derivatives (9.80%). The metabolite species from MP-S, MS-S, IP-S, and IS-S were similar, but some metabolite contents were significantly different, such as adenine, adenosine, maltotriose, thermozeaxanthin-13 and PE-NMe (20:0/24:0). Adenine and adenosine were detected in root and rhizosphere soils, and their levels were increased in the intercropping treatment, which were mainly related to enhanced purine metabolism in root and rhizosphere soils under the sugarcane/peanut intercropping system. Importantly, adenine and adenosine were significantly positively correlated with total P and total K contents, acid phosphatase and urease activities, and pH. This study clarified that the sugarcane/peanut intercropping system could improve soil nutrients and enzymes and was related to purine metabolism.

Abstract
Background The banana-growing rhizosphere soil ecosystem is very complex and consists of an entangled network of interactions between banana plants, microbes and soil, so identifying key components in banana production is difficult. Most of the previous studies on these interactions ignore the role of the banana plant. At present, there is no research on the the micro-ecological environment of the banana planting growth cycle. Methods Based on high-throughput sequencing technology and metabolomics technology, this study analyzed the rhizosphere soil microbial community and metabolic dynamics of healthy banana plants during one growth cycle. Results Assessing the microbial community composition of healthy banana rhizosphere soil, we found that the bacteria with the highest levels were Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria, and the dominant fungi were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mortierellomycota. The metabolite profile of healthy banana rhizosphere soil showed that sugars, lipids and organic acids were the most abundant, accounting for about 50% of the total metabolites. The correlation network between fungi and metabolites was more complex than that of bacteria and metabolites. In a soil environment with acidic pH, bacterial genera showed a significant negative correlation with pH value, while fungal genera showed no significant negative correlation with pH value. The network interactions between bacteria, between fungi, and between bacteria and fungi were all positively correlated. Conclusions Healthy banana rhizosphere soil not only has a stable micro-ecology, but also has stable metabolic characteristics. The microorganisms in healthy banana rhizosphere soil have mutually beneficial rather than competitive relationships.

Abstract
Soil salinization has been recognized as one of the main factors causing the decrease of cultivated land area and global plant productivity. Application of salt tolerant plants and improvement of plant salt tolerance are recognized as the major routes for saline soil restoration and utilization. Sea rice 86 (SR86) is known as a rice cultivar capable of growing in saline soil. Genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis of SR86 have been conducted to explore its salt tolerance mechanisms while the contribution of rhizobacteria is underexplored. In the present study, we examined the rhizosphere bacterial diversity and soil metabolome of SR86 seedlings under different salinity to understand their contribution to plant salt tolerance. We found that salt stress could significantly change rhizobacterial diversity and rhizosphere metabolites. Keystone taxa were identified via co-occurrence analysis and the correlation analysis between keystone taxa and rhizosphere metabolites indicated lipids and their derivatives might play an important role in plant salt tolerance. Further, four plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), capable of promoting the salt tolerance of SR86, were isolated and characterized. These findings might provide novel insights into the mechanisms of plant salt tolerance mediated by plant-microbe interaction, and promote the isolation and application of PGPR in the restoration and utilization of saline soil.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 829:154592. [PMID: 35314227 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil can cause serious environmental problems and threaten human health. Previous studies have shown that the reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is regarded as an effective soil disinfection technology, which will affect the bioavailability of Cd. However, the influence of soil microorganisms and their metabolites on the morphologies of Cd during RSD treatment are still poorly understood. Here, a laboratory incubation experiment that composed of untreated soil (CK), two RSD treatments with flooded soil (FL) and added 2% bean dregs soil (BD) was conducted. After the treatment, the content of different morphologies of Cd in the soil and the molecular characteristics (the composition of the microbial community, functional enzymes and metabolites) of the soil were measured. The study found that, compared to CK treatment, the dominant phyla, such as Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, etc., were significantly increased in BD treatment, and enzymes related to metabolism also showed noticeable enhancement. The differential accumulated metabolite (DAM) analysis revealed that the abound of lipids and lipid-like molecules involved with fatty acyls, steroids and steroid derivatives, glycerophospholipids, fatty acids and conjugates, glycerolipids, and sphingolipids were significant different among treatments. The correlation analysis showed the exchangeable fraction cadmium contents (EX-Cd) were negatively correlated with the content of glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, and positively correlated with glycerolipids content. However, the relationship between the residual cadmium (RS-Cd) and these three metabolites was just the opposite. Compared with another two treatments, the BD treatment significantly reduced EX-Cd contents. Biological interaction network analysis indicated that the phyla Gemmatimonadetes and Proteobacteria assumed the primary responsibility for the morphological transformation of Cd through their corresponding functional enzymes. Overall, this study provided a new perspective on RSD-mediated soil Cd immobilization, and the findings should be beneficial to further applications of RSD technology on the remediation of Cd-polluted soils.

Abstract
Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria, designated SM9T and SM2T, were isolated from Taklamakan Desert soil samples. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SM9T and SM2T had the highest sequence similarity to the type strains
Microvirga indica
BCRC 80972T and
Microvirga soli
NBRC 112417T with similarity values of 98.2 and 97.7 %, respectively, and
Microvirga
was among the predominant genera in the desert soil. The draft genomes of these two strains were 4.56 Mbp (SM9T) and 5.08 Mbp (SM2T) long with 65.1 mol% (SM9T) and 63.5 mol% (SM2T) G+C content. To adapt to the desert environment, these two strains possessed pathways for the synthesis of stress metabolite trehalose. The major fatty acids (>5 %) included C18 : 1 ω9c in SM2T, but C16 : 0, C18 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c in SM9T, while the major menaquinone was ubiquinone 10 in both strains. The major polar lipids of SM9T and SM2T were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phospholipid. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization results further indicated that strains SM9T and SM2T were distinguished from phylogenetically related species and represented two novel species within the genus
Microvirga
, for which the names Microvirga roseola sp. nov. (type strain SM2T=KCTC 72792T=CGMCC 1.17776T) and Microvirga lenta sp. nov. (type strain SM9T=KCTC 82729T=CCTCC AB 2021131T) are proposed.

Abstract
Metabolites can mediate species interactions and the assembly of microbial communities. However, how these chemicals relate to the assembly processes and co-occurrence patterns of diazotrophic assemblages in root-associated soils remains largely unknown. Here, we examined the diversity and assembly of diazotrophic communities and further deciphered their links with metabolites on Tibetan Plateau. We found that the distribution of sugars and organic acids in the root-associated soils was significantly correlated with the richness of diazotrophs. The presence of these two soil metabolites explains the variability in diazotrophic community compositions. The differential concentrations of these metabolites were significantly linked with the distinctive abundances of diazotrophic taxa in same land types dominated by different plants or dissimilar soils by same plants. The assembly of diazotrophic communities is subject to deterministic ecological processes, which are widely modulated by the variety and amount of sugars and organic acids. Organic acids, for instance, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid and citric acid, were effective predictors of the characteristics of diazotrophic assemblages across desert habitats. Diazotrophic co-occurrence networks tended to be more complex and connected within different land types covered by the same plant species. The concentrations of multiple sugars and organic acids were coupled significantly with the distribution of keystone species, such as Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Bradyrhizobium, and Mesorhizobium, in the co-occurrence network. These findings provide new insights into the assembly mechanisms of root-associated diazotrophic communities across the desert ecosystems of the Tibetan Plateau.Key points• Soil metabolites were significantly linked to the diversity of diazotrophic community.• Soil metabolites determined the assembly of diazotrophic community.• Sugars and organic acids were coupled mainly with keystone species in networks.
