Suryavanshi M, Agudelo J, Miller A. Rare phylotypes in stone, stool, and urine microbiomes are associated with urinary stone disease. Front Mol Biosci 2023; 10:1210225. [PMID: 37602324 PMCID: PMC10436313 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1210225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: In complex microbial communities, the importance of microbial species at very low abundance levels and their prevalence for overall community structure and function is increasingly being recognized. Clinical microbiome studies on urinary stone disease (USD) have indicated that both the gut and urinary tract microbiota are associated with the onset of the disease and that kidney stones them-selves harbor a complex, yet consistent and viable, microbiome. However, how rare phylotypes contribute to this association remains unclear. Delineating the contribution of rare and common phylotypes to urinary stone disease is important for the development of bacteriotherapies to promote urologic health. Methods: The objectives of the current report were to conduct a metaanalysis of 16S rRNA datasets derived from the kidney stone, stool, and urine samples of participants with or without urinary stone disease. To delineate the impact of rare and common phylotypes, metaanalyses were conducted by first separating rare and common taxa determined by both the frequency and abundance of amplicon sequence variants. Results: Consistent with previous analyses, we found that gut, upper urinary, and lower urinary tract microbiomes were all unique. Rare phylotypes comprised the majority of species observed in all sample types, with kidney stones exhibiting the greatest bias toward rarity, followed by urine and stool. Both rare and common fractions contributed significantly to the differences observed between sample types and health disparity. Furthermore, the rare and common fractions were taxonomically unique across all sample types. A total of 222 and 320 unique rare phylotypes from urine and stool samples were found to be significantly associated with USD. A co-occurrence correlation analysis revealed that rare phylotypes are most important for microbiome structure in stones, followed by urine and stool. Discussion: Collectively, the results indicate that rare phylotypes may be important for the pathophysiology of USD, particularly in the kidney stone matrix, which is inherently a very low microbial biomass niche that can have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones. Further studies are needed to investigate the functional significance of rare phylotypes in kidney stone pathogenesis.

Abstract
Earth's diverse soil microbiomes host bacteria within dynamic and fragmented aqueous habitats that occupy complex pore spaces and restrict the spatial range of ecological interactions. Yet, the spatial distributions of bacterial cells in soil communities remain underexplored. Here, we propose a modelling framework representing submillimeter-scale distributions of soil bacteria based on physical constraints supported by individual-based model results and direct observations. The spatial distribution of bacterial cell clusters modulates various metabolic interactions and soil microbiome functioning. Dry soils with long diffusion times limit localized interactions of the sparse communities. Frequently wet soils enable long-range trophic interactions between dense cell clusters through connected aqueous pathways. Biomes with high carbon inputs promote large and dense cell clusters where anoxic microsites form even in aerated soils. Micro-geographic considerations of difficult-to-observe microbial processes can improve the interpretation of data from bulk soil samples.

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Their Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in Dairy Farms and Their Microbial Ecosystems. J Food Prot 2023; 86:100051.

Abstract
Ruminants are the largest reservoir for all types of Escherichia coli, including the pathogenic ones, which can potentially be transmitted to humans via the food chain and environment. A longitudinal study was performed to estimate the prevalence and antibiotic-resistant pattern of pathogenic E. coli (pE.coli) strains in dairy farm environments. A total of 846 environmental samples (water, lagoon slurry, bedding, feed, feces, soil, and compost) were collected in summer over two years from five dairy farms in Maryland, USA. An additional 40 soil samples were collected in winter and summer seasons for evaluating microbiome composition. Collected environmental samples were screened for the presence of pE.coli, which was isolated using a selective culture medium, for later confirmation and virotyping using PCR with specific primers. The overall prevalence of pE.coli in dairy farms was 8.93% (71/846), with the most common virotype identified in isolates being ETEC, followed by STEC. The highest pE.coli prevalence were recorded in lagoon slurry (21.57%) while the lowest was in compost heap (2.99%). Among isolates, 95.87% of the virotypes were resistant to 9 classes of antibiotics whereas only 4.12% were sensitive. The highest proportion (68.04%) of resistance was found for quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin). The resulting metagenomic analysis at the phylum and genus levels of the grazing land soil suggests that climatic conditions actively influence the abundance of bacteria. Proteobacteria, which contains many Gram-negative foodborne pathogens (including pE.coli), was the most predominant phylum, accounting for 26.70% and 24.93% of soil bacteria in summer and winter, respectively. In addition to relative abundance, there was no significant difference in species diversity between seasons when calculated via Simpson (D) and Shannon (H) index. This study suggests that antibiotic-resistant E. coli virotypes are present in the dairy farm environment, and proper steps are warranted to control its transmission irrespective of seasonality.

Distinct Responses of Abundant and Rare Soil Bacteria to Nitrogen Addition in Tropical Forest Soils. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0300322. [PMID: 36622236 PMCID: PMC9927163 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03003-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Soil microbial responses to anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment at the overall community level has been extensively studied. However, the responses of community dynamics and assembly processes of the abundant versus rare bacterial taxa to N enrichment have rarely been assessed. Here, we present a study in which the effects of short- (2 years) and long-term (13 years) N additions to two nearby tropical forest sites on abundant and rare soil bacterial community composition and assembly were documented. The N addition, particularly in the long-term experiment, significantly decreased the bacterial α-diversity and shifted the community composition toward copiotrophic and N-sensitive species. The α-diversity and community composition of the rare taxa were more affected, and they were more closely clustered phylogenetically under N addition compared to the abundant taxa, suggesting the community assembly of the rare taxa was more governed by deterministic processes (e.g., environmental filtering). In contrast, the abundant taxa exhibited higher community abundance, broader environmental thresholds, and stronger phylogenetic signals under environmental changes than the rare taxa. Overall, these findings illustrate that the abundant and rare bacterial taxa respond distinctly to N addition in tropical forests, with higher sensitivity of the rare taxa, but potentially broader environmental acclimation of the abundant taxa. IMPORTANCE Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a worldwide environmental problem and threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Understanding the responses of community dynamics and assembly processes of abundant and rare soil bacterial taxa to anthropogenic N enrichment is vital for the management of N-polluted forest soils. Our sequence-based data revealed distinct responses in bacterial diversity, community composition, environmental acclimation, and assembly processes between abundant and rare taxa under N-addition soils in tropical forests. These findings provide new insight into the formation and maintenance of bacterial diversity and offer a way to better predict bacterial responses to the ongoing atmospheric N deposition in tropical forests.

Abstract
Ecopiling is a method for biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soils. It derives from Biopiles, but phytoremediation is added to biostimulation with nitrogen fertilization and bioaugmentation with local bacteria. We have constructed seven Ecopiles with soil heavily polluted with hydrocarbons in Carlow (Ireland). The aim of the study was to analyze changes in the microbial community during ecopiling. In the course of 18 months of remediation, total petroleum hydrocarbons values decreased in 99 and 88% on average for aliphatics and aromatics, respectively, indicating a successful biodegradation. Community analysis showed that bacterial alfa diversity (Shannon Index), increased with the degradation of hydrocarbons, starting at an average value of 7.59 and ending at an average value of 9.38. Beta-diversity analysis, was performed using Bray-Curtis distances and PCoA ordination, where the two first principal components (PCs) explain the 17 and 14% of the observed variance, respectively. The results show that samples tend to cluster by sampling time instead of by Ecopile. This pattern is supported by the hierarchical clustering analysis, where most samples from the same timepoint clustered together. We used DSeq2 to determine the differential abundance of bacterial populations in Ecopiles at the beginning and the end of the treatment. While TPHs degraders are more abundant at the start of the experiment, these populations are substituted by bacterial populations typical of clean soils by the end of the biodegradation process. Similar results are found for the fungal community, indicating that the microbial community follows a succession along the process. This succession starts with a TPH degraders or tolerant enriched community, and finish with a microbial community typical of clean soils.

Abstract
Interactions between heterotrophic bacteria and cyanobacteria regulate the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems and are thus crucial for the prediction and management of cyanobacterial blooms in relation to water security. Currently, abundant bacterial species are of primary concern, while the role of more diverse and copious rare species remains largely unknown. Using a dilution-to-extinction approach, rare bacterial species from reservoir water were co-cultured with the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii in the lab to explore their interactions by using Phyto-PAM and 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. We found that a ≤1000-fold bacterial dilution led to bacteria control of the growth and photosynthesis of R. raciborskii. Moreover, the bacterial community compositions in the low-dilution groups were clearly diverged from the high-dilution groups. Importantly, rare species changed dramatically in the low-dilution groups, resulting in lower phylogenetic diversity and narrower niche width. The network complexity and compositional stability of bacterial communities decreased in the low-dilution groups. Collectively, our results suggest that rare bacterial species inhibit R. raciborskii growth and photosynthesis through microbial interactions mediated by species coexistence and interaction mechanisms. Our study provides new knowledge of the ecological role of rare bacteria and offers new perspectives for understanding the outbreak and regression of R. raciborskii blooms.

Characterization of the rare microbiome of rice paddy soil from arsenic contaminated hotspot of West Bengal and their interrelation with arsenic and other geochemical parameters.

Abstract
Rare microbial taxa [bacterial and archaeal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with mean relative abundance ≤ 0.001%] were critical for ecosystem function, yet, their identity and function remained incompletely understood, particularly in arsenic (As) contaminated rice soils. In the present study we have characterized the rare populations of the As-contaminated rice soil microbiomes from West Bengal (India) in terms of their identity, interaction and potential function. Major proportion of the OTUs (73% of total 38,289 OTUs) was represented by rare microbial taxa (henceforth mentioned as rare taxa), which covered 4.5-15.7% of the different communities. Taxonomic assignment of the rare taxa showed their affiliation to members of Gamma-, Alpha-, Delta- Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria. SO42-, NO3-, NH4+and pH significantly impacted the distribution of rare taxa. Rare taxa positively correlated with As were found to be more frequent in relatively high As soil while the rare taxa negatively correlated with As were found to be more frequent in relatively low As soil. Co-occurrence-network analysis indicated that rare taxa whose abundance were correlated strongly (R > 0.8) with As also had strong association (R > 0.8) with PO42-, NO3-, and NH4+. Correlation analysis indicated that the rare taxa were likely to involved in two major guilds one, involved in N-metabolism and the second involved in As/Fe as well as other metabolisms. Role of the rare taxa in denitrification and dissimilatory NO3- reduction (DNRA), As biotransformation, S-, H-, C- and Fe-, metabolism was highlighted from 16S rRNA gene-based predictive analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of rare taxa indicated signatures of inhabitant rice soil microorganisms having significant roles in nitrogen (N) cycle and As-Fe metabolism. This study provided critical insights into the taxonomic identity, metabolic potentials and importance of the rare taxa in As biotransformation and biogeochemical cycling of essential nutrients in As-impacted rice soils.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The soil bacterial microbiome plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning. The composition and functioning of the microbiome are tightly controlled by the physicochemical surrounding. Therefore, the microbiome is responsive to management, such as fertilization, and to climate change, such as extreme drought. It remains a challenge to retain microbiome functioning under drought. OBJECTIVES This work aims to reveal if fertilization with organic fertilizer, can enhance resistance and resilience of bacterial communities and their function in extreme drought and subsequent rewetting compared with conventional fertilizers. METHODS In soil mesocosms, we induced a long-term drought for 80 days with subsequent rewetting for 170 days to follow bacterial community dynamics in organic (NOF) and chemical (NCF) fertilization regimes. RESULTS Our results showed that bacterial diversity was higher with NOF than with NCF during drought. In particular, the ecological resilience and recovery of bacterial communities under NOF were higher than in NCF. We found these bacterial community features to enhance pathogen-inhibiting functions in NOF compared to NCF during late recovery. The other soil ecology functional analyses revealed that bacterial biomass recovered in the early stage after rewetting, while soil respiration increased continuously following prolonged time after rewetting. CONCLUSION Together, our study indicates that organic fertilization can enhance the stability of the soil microbiome and ensures that specific bacterial-driven ecosystem functions recover after rewetting. This may provide the basis for more sustainable agricultural practices to counterbalance negative climate change-induced effects on soil functioning.

Abstract
This paper aims at a definition of the domain of ecohydrology, a relatively new discipline borne out of an intrusion-as advertised by this Topical Collection of the Rendiconti Lincei-of hydrology and geomorphology into ecology (or vice-versa, depending on the reader's background). The study of hydrologic controls on the biota proves, in our view, significantly broader than envisioned by its original focus that was centered on the critical zone where much of the action of soil, climate and vegetation interactions takes place. In this review of related topics and contributions, we propose a reasoned broadening of perspective, in particular by firmly centering ecohydrology on the fluvial catchment as its fundamental control volume. A substantial unity of materials and methods suggests that our advocacy may be considered legitimate.
