ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118758. [PMID: 38527724 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118758] [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: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Under the system of full straw returning, the relationship between soil fungal community diversity and soil physiochemical properties, and the combined application of slow-release nitrogen and urea is unclear. To evaluate its effect and provide an effective strategy for sustainable agricultural production, a 2-year field positioning trial was conducted using maize as the research object. The experiment was designed with two factors: straw treatment(S) and nitrogen fertilizer treatment(N),Six experimental treatments were set up,S1N0,S1N1,S1N2,S1N3,S1N4,S0N2,respectively.Analysis of 54 soil samples revealed 15 fungal phyla and 49 fungal classes. The composition of fungal communities in each treatment was basically the same, but there were significant differences in species abundance. Under total straw returning conditions, the combined application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and normal nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased the relative abundance of Ascomycota. During the jointing stage, tasseling stage and maturity stage, S1N4, S1N3 and S1N2 increased by 25.76%, 22.97%, 20.74%; 25.11%, 30.02%, 23.64% and 22.47%, 28.14%, 22.71% respectively compared with S0N2.The relative abundance of Basidiomycota was significantly reduced. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the straw returning mode significantly increased the Shannon index and decreased the Simpson index, which was obvious in the jointing stage and tasseling stage. The principal coordinate analysis analysis results showed that the fungal communities formed different clusters in the horizontal and vertical directions at the three growth stages of corn jointing, tasseling and maturity. At the jointing stage and tasseling stage, the communities of the straw return treatment and the straw removal treatment were separated, and the community distribution of each treatment was not significantly different in the mature stage. Total straw returning combined with slow-release fertilizer significantly (P<0.05) increased the soil organic carbon, nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen content in each growth period, and increased the soil total nitrogen and hydrolyzable nitrogen content (P>0.05).After the straw was returned to the field, the combined application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and common urea had a significant impact on soil urease, catalase, and sucrase activities. Among them, the three enzyme activities were the highest in the S1N3 treatment at the jointing stage and maturity stage, and the S1N4 treatment at the tasseling stage had the highest enzyme activity. Fungal community composition is closely related to environmental factors. Soil organic carbon, urease and catalase are positively correlated with Ascomycota and negatively correlated with Basidiomycota.

[PMID: 38838490 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108788] [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: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
The phenomenon of glacial freezing and thawing involves microbial sequestration, release, and colonization, which has the potential to impact ecosystem functioning through changes in microbial diversity and interactions. In this study, we examined the structural features of microbial communities of the Dongkemadi glacier, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, in four distinct glacial environments (snow, ice, meltwater, and frontier soil). The sequestration, release, and colonization of glacial microbes have been found to significantly impact the diversity and structure of glacial microbial communities, as well as the complexity of microbial networks. Specifically, the complexity of bacterial networks has been observed to increase in a sequential manner during these processes. Utilizing the Inter-Domain Ecological Network approach, researchers have further explored the cross-trophic interactions among bacteria, fungi, and archaea. The complexity of the bacteria-fungi-archaea network exhibited a sequential increase due to the processes of sequestration, release, and colonization of glacial microbes. The release and colonization of glacial microbes led to a shift in the role of archaea as key species within the network. Additionally, our findings suggest that the hierarchical interactions among various microorganisms contributed to the heightened complexity of the bacteria-fungi-archaea network. The primary constituents of the glacial microbial ecosystem are unclassified species associated with the Polaromonas. It is noteworthy that various key species in glacial ecosystems are influenced by the distinct environmental factors. Moreover, our findings suggest that key species are not significantly depleted in response to abrupt alterations in individual environmental factors, shedding light on the dynamics of microbial cross-trophic interactions within glacial ecosystems.

Inoculation of cadmium-tolerant bacteria to regulate microbial activity and key bacterial population in cadmium-contaminated soils during bioremediation. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 271:115957. [PMID: 38219617 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.115957] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
The perennial ryegrass Lolium perenne can be used in conjunction with cadmium (Cd)-tolerant bacteria such as Cdq4-2 (Enterococcus spp.) for bioremediation of Cd-contaminated soil. In this study, a theoretical basis was provided to increase the efficiency of L. perenne remediation of Cd-contaminated soil using microorganisms to maintain the stability of the soil microbiome. The experimental design involved three treatment groups: CK (soil without Cd addition) as the control, 20 mg·kg-1 Cd-contaminated soil, and 20 mg·kg-1 Cd-contaminated soil + Cdq4-2, all planted with L. perenne. The soil was collected on day 60 to determine the soil microbial activity and bacterial community structure and to analyze the correlation between soil variables, the bacterial community, available Cd content in the soil, Cd accumulation, and L. perenne growth. The soil microbial activity and bacterial community diversity decreased under Cd stress, and the soil microbial community composition was changed; while inoculation with Cdq4-2 significantly increased soil basal respiration and the activities of urease, invertase, and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolase by 83.65%, 79.72%, 19.88%, and 96.15% respectively; and the stability of the community structure was also enhanced. The Actinobacteriota biomass, the amount of available Cd, and the above- and belowground Cd content of L. perenne were significantly negatively correlated with the total phosphorus, total potassium, and pH. The activity of urease, invertase, and FDA hydrolase were significantly positively correlated with the biomasses of Acidobacteriota and L. perenne and significantly negatively correlated with the Chloroflexi biomass. Further, the available soil Cd content and the above- and belowground Cd levels of L. perenne were significantly positively correlated with the Actinobacteriota biomass and significantly negatively correlated with the Gemmatimonadetes biomass. Overall, inoculating Cd-tolerant bacteria improved the microbial activity, diversity, and abundance, and changed the microbial community composition, facilitating the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil by L. perenne.

Abstract
Root-soil underground interactions mediated by soil microorganisms and metabolites are crucial for fertilizer utilization efficiency and crop growth regulation. This study employed a combined approach of soil microbial community profiling and non-targeted metabolomics to investigate the patterns of root-associated microbial aggregation and the mechanisms associated with metabolites under varying controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) application rates. The experimental treatments included five field application rates of CRF (D1: 675 kg/ha; D15: 1012.5 kg/ha; D2: 1350 kg/ha; D25: 1687.5 kg/ha; and D3: 2025 kg/ha) along with traditional fertilizer as a control (CK: 1687.5 kg/ha). The results indicated that the growth of sugarcane in the field was significantly influenced by the CRF application rate (p < 0.05). Compared with CK, the optimal field application of CRF was observed at D25, resulting in a 16.3% to 53.6% increase in sugarcane yield. Under the condition of reducing fertilizer application by 20%, D2 showed a 13.3% increase in stem yield and a 6.7% increase in sugar production. The bacterial ACE index exhibited significant differences between D25 and D1, while the Chao1 index showed significance among the D25, D1, and CK treatments. The dominant bacterial phyla in sugarcane rhizosphere aggregation included Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Acidobacteriota. Fungal phyla comprised Rozellomycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota. The annotated metabolic pathways encompassed biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Differential analysis and random forest selection identified distinctive biomarkers including Leotiomycetes, Cercospora, Anaeromyxobacter, isoleucyl-proline, and methylmalonic acid. Redundancy analysis unveiled soil pH, soil organic carbon, and available nitrogen as the primary drivers of microbial communities, while the metabolic profiles were notably influenced by the available potassium and phosphorus. The correlation heatmaps illustrated potential microbial-metabolite regulatory mechanisms under CRF application conditions. These findings underscore the significant potential of CRF in sugarcane field production, laying a theoretical foundation for sustainable development in the sugarcane industry.

The effect of manure-borne doxycycline combined with different types of oversized microplastic contamination layers on carbon and nitrogen metabolism in sandy loam. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 456:131612. [PMID: 37245359 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
The different forms and properties of microplastics (MPs) have different effects on the elemental cycles in soil ecosystems, and this is further complicated when the soil contains antibiotics; meanwhile, oversized microplastic (OMP) in soil is always ignored in studies of environmental behavior. In the context of antibiotic action, the effects of OMP on soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling have rarely been explored. In this study, we created four types of oversized microplastic (thick fibers, thin fibers, large debris, and small debris) composite doxycycline (DOX) contamination layers (5-10 cm) in sandy loam, hoping to reveal the effects on soil C and N cycling and potential microbial mechanisms when exposed to the combination of manure-borne DOX and different types of OMP from the perspective of metagenomics in the longitudinal soil layer (0-30 cm). The results showed that all different forms of OMP, when combined with DOX, reduced the soil C content in each layer, but only reduced the soil N content in the upper layer of the OMP contamination layer. The microbial structure of the surface soil (0-10 cm) was more noteworthy than that of the deeper soil (10-30 cm). The genera Chryseolinea and Ohtaekwangia were key microbes involved in C and N cycling in the surface layer and regulated carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms (K00134), carbon fixation pathways in prokaryotes (K00031), methane metabolism (K11212 and K14941), assimilatory nitrate reduction (K00367), and denitrification (K00376 and K04561). The present study is the first to reveal the potential microbial mechanism of C and N cycling under OMP combined with DOX in different layers, mainly the OMP contamination layer and its upper layer, and the OMP shape plays an important role in this process.
