Abstract
Soil microorganisms play key roles in soil nutrient transformations and have a notable effect on plant growth and health. Different plant genotypes can shape soil microbial patterns via the secretion of root exudates and volatiles, but it is uncertain how a difference in soil microorganisms induced by crop cultivars will respond to short-term seasonal variations. A field experiment was conducted to assess the changes in soil bacterial communities of seven rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth, RP) cultivars across two growing seasons, April (Spring season) and October (Fall season). Soils' bacterial communities were targeted using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Bacterial community diversity and taxonomic composition among rhizoma peanut cultivars were significantly affected by seasons, cultivars, and their interactions (p < 0.05). Alpha diversity, as estimated by the OTU richness and Simpson index, was around onefold decrease in October than in April across most of the RP cultivars, while the soils from Arblick and Latitude had around one time higher alpha diversity in both seasons compared with other cultivars. Beta diversity differed significantly in April (R = 0.073, p < 0.01) and October (R = 0.084, p < 0.01) across seven cultivars. Bacterial dominant taxa (at phylum and genus level) were strongly affected by seasons and varied towards more dominant groups that have functional potentials involved in nutrient cycling from April to October. A large shift in water availability induced by season variations in addition to host cultivar's effects can explain the observed patterns in diversity, composition, and co-occurrence of bacterial taxa. Overall, our results demonstrate an overriding effect of short-term seasonal variations on soil bacterial communities associated with different crop cultivars. The findings suggest that season-induced shifts in environmental conditions could exert stronger impacts on soil microorganisms than the finer-scale rhizosphere effect from crop cultivars, and consequently influence largely microbe-mediated soil processes and crop health in agricultural ecosystems.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 319:115767.

Abstract
Although numerous studies on bacterial biogeographic patterns in dryland have been conducted, bacterial community assembly across arid inland river basins is unclear. Here, we assessed the ecological drivers that regulate the assembly processes of abundant (ABS) and rare (RBS) bacterial subcommunities based on 162 soil samples collected in an arid inland river basin of China. The results showed that: (1) ABS exhibited a steeper distance-decay slope, and were more strongly affected by dispersal limitation (75.5% and 84.5%), than RBS in surface and subsurface soil. RBS were predominantly controlled by variable selection (54.6% and 50.2%). (2) Soil electric conductivity played a decisive role in mediating the balance between deterministic and stochastic processes of ABS and RBS in surface soil, increasing soil electric conductivity increased the importance of deterministic process. For subsurface soil, soil available phosphorus (SAP) and soil pH drove the balance in the assembly processes of ABS and RBS, respectively. The RBS shifted from determinism to stochasticity with decreased pH, while the dominance of deterministic processes was higher in low-SAP sites. (3) Groundwater depth seasonality had substantial effects on the assembly processes of ABS and RBS, but groundwater depth seasonality affected them indirectly mainly by regulating soil properties. Collectively, our study provides robust evidence that groundwater-driven variations in soil properties mediates the community assembly process of soil bacteria in arid inland river basins. This finding is of importance for forecasting the dynamics of soil microbial community and soil process in response to current and future depleted groundwater.

Abstract
![]()
Metaproteomics has
been increasingly utilized for high-throughput
characterization of proteins in complex environments and has been
demonstrated to provide insights into microbial composition and functional
roles. However, significant challenges remain in metaproteomic data
analysis, including creation of a sample-specific protein sequence
database. A well-matched database is a requirement for successful
metaproteomics analysis, and the accuracy and sensitivity of PSM identification
algorithms suffer when the database is incomplete or contains extraneous
sequences. When matched DNA sequencing data of the sample is unavailable
or incomplete, creating the proteome database that accurately represents
the organisms in the sample is a challenge. Here, we leverage a de novo peptide sequencing approach to identify the sample
composition directly from metaproteomic data. First, we created a
deep learning model, Kaiko, to predict the peptide sequences from
mass spectrometry data and trained it on 5 million peptide–spectrum
matches from 55 phylogenetically diverse bacteria. After training,
Kaiko successfully identified organisms from soil isolates and synthetic
communities directly from proteomics data. Finally, we created a pipeline
for metaproteome database generation using Kaiko. We tested the pipeline
on native soils collected in Kansas, showing that the de novo sequencing model can be employed as an alternative and complementary
method to construct the sample-specific protein database instead of
relying on (un)matched metagenomes. Our pipeline identified all highly
abundant taxa from 16S rRNA sequencing of the soil samples and uncovered
several additional species which were strongly represented only in
proteomic data.

Abstract
Coastal salinity typically alters the soil microbial communities, which subsequently affect the biogeochemical cycle of nutrients in the soil. The seasonal variation of the soil fungal communities in the coastal area, closely associated with plant population, is poorly understood. This study provides an insight into the fungal community's variations from autumn to winter and spring to summer at a well-populated area of salt-tolerant Tamarix chinensis and beach. The richness and diversity of fungal community were higher in the spring season and lower in the winter season, as showed by high throughput sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. Ascomycota was the predominant phylum reported in all samples across the region, and higher difference was reported at order level across the seasonal variations. The redundancy analysis suggested that the abundance and diversity of fungal communities in different seasons are mainly correlated to total organic carbon and total nitrogen. Additionally, the saprotrophic and pathotrophic fungi decreased while symbiotic fungi increased in the autumn season. This study provides a pattern of seasonal variation in fungal community composition that further broadens our limited understanding of how the density of the salt-tolerant T. chinensis population of the coastal saline soil could respond to their seasonal variations.

Abstract
Inland river basins include critical habitats and provide various ecosystem services in extremely arid lands. However, we know little about the distribution patterns of soil fungal communities in these river basins. We investigated the distribution patterns of soil fungal communities from the riparian oasis zone (ROZ) to the circumjacent desert zone (CDZ) at the lower reaches of the Heihe River. The results indicated that soil fungal communities were mainly dominated by the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota across all samples. The dominant soil fungi taxa were significantly different between ROZ and CDZ habitats at both the phylum and genus levels. Fungal alpha diversity was mainly affected by spatial factors and plant functional traits, and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that fungal alpha diversity was more closely related to plant functional traits than soil properties. Furthermore, fungal community structure was best explained by spatial factors and plant attributes (including plant diversity and plant functional traits). Together, our findings provide new insights into the significance of spatial factors and plant attributes for predicting distributions of fungal communities in arid inland river basins, which will help us better understand the functions and services of these ecosystems.

Abstract
The Loa River is the only perennial artery that crosses the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It plays an important role in the ecological and economic development of the most water-stressed region, revealing the impact of the mining industry, which exacerbate regional water shortages for many organisms and ecological processes. Despite this, the river system has remained understudied. To our knowledge, this study provides the first effort to attempt to compare the microbial communities at spatial scale along the Loa River, as well as investigate the physicochemical factors that could modulate this important biological component that still remains largely unexplored. The analysis of the spatial bacterial distribution and their interconnections in the water column and sediment samples from eight sites located in three sections along the river catchment (upper, middle and lower) was conducted using 16S rRNA gene-based Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Among a total of 543 ASVs identified at the family level, over 40.5% were cosmopolitan in the river and distributed within a preference pattern by the sediment substrate with 162 unique ASVs, while only 87 were specific to the column water. Bacterial diversity gradually decreased from the headwaters, where the upper section had the largest number of unique families. Distinct groupings of bacterial communities often associated with anthropogenic disturbance, including Burkholderiaceae and Flavobacteriaceae families were predominant in the less-impacted upstream section. Members of the Arcobacteraceae and Marinomonadaceae were prominent in the agriculturally and mining-impacted middle sector while Rhodobacteraceae and Coxiellaceae were most abundant families in downstream sites. Such shifts in the community structure were also related to the influence of salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen and redox potential. Network analyses corroborated the strong connectivity and modular structure of bacterial communities across this desert river, shedding light on taxonomic relatedness of co-occurring species and highlighting the need for planning the integral conservation of this basin.
