The halotolerant exopolysaccharide-producing Rhizobium azibense increases the salt tolerance mechanism in Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) by improving growth, ion homeostasis, and antioxidant defensive enzymes. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142431. [PMID: 38797209 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142431] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Globally, agricultural productivity is facing a serious problem due to soil salinity which often causes osmotic, ionic, and redox imbalances in plants. Applying halotolerant rhizobacterial inoculants having multifarious growth-regulating traits is thought to be an effective and advantageous approach to overcome salinity stress. Here, salt-tolerant (tolerating 300 mM NaCl), exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing Rhizobium azibense SR-26 (accession no. MG063740) was assessed for salt alleviation potential by inoculating Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) plants raised under varying NaCl regimes. The metabolically active cells of strain SR-26 produced a significant amount of phytohormones (indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, and cytokinin), ACC deaminase, ammonia, and siderophore under salt stress. Increasing NaCl concentration variably affected the EPS produced by SR-26. The P-solubilization activity of the SR-26 strain was positively impacted by NaCl, as demonstrated by OD shift in NaCl-treated/untreated NBRIP medium. The detrimental effect of NaCl on plants was lowered by inoculation of halotolerant strain SR-26. Following soil inoculation, R. azibense significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced seed germination (10%), root (19%) shoot (23%) biomass, leaf area (18%), total chlorophyll (21%), and carotenoid content (32%) of P. vulgaris raised in soil added with 40 mM NaCl concentration. Furthermore, strain SR-26 modulated the relative leaf water content (RLWC), proline, total soluble protein (TSP), and sugar (TSS) of salt-exposed plants. Moreover, R. azibense inoculation lowered the concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers; MDA (29%), H2O2 content (24%), electrolyte leakage (31%), membrane stability (36%) and Na+ ion uptake (28%) when applied to 40 mM NaCl-treated plants. Further, R. azibense increases the salt tolerance mechanism of P. vulgaris by upregulating the antioxidant defensive responses. Summarily, it is reasonable to propose that EPS-synthesizing halotolerant R. azibense SR-26 should be applied as the most cost-effective option for increasing the yields of legume crops specifically P. vulgaris in salinity-challenged soil systems.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 930:172451.

Abstract
Here we addressed the capacity of distinct amendments to reduce arsenic (As), copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) associated risks and improve the biogeochemical functions of post-mining soil. To this, we examined nanoparticles (NPs) and/or biochar effects, combined with phytostabilization using Lolium perenne L. Soil samples were taken in a former metal mine surroundings. Ryegrass seeds were sown in pots containing different combinations of NPs (zero-valent iron (nZVI) or hydroxyapatite (nH)) (0 and 2 %), and biochar (0, 3 and 5 %). Plants were grown for 45 days and the plant yield and element accumulation were evaluated, also soil properties (element distribution within the soil fractions, fertility, and enzymatic activities associated with microbiota functionality and nutrient cycling) were determined. Results showed biochar-treated soil had a higher pH, and much higher organic carbon (C) content than control soil and NP-treated soils, and it revealed increased labile C, total N, and available P concentrations. Soil treatment with NP-biochar combinations increased exchangeable non-acid cation concentrations and reduced exchangeable Na%, improved soil fertility, reduced sodicity risk, and increased ryegrass biomass. Enzymatic activities, particularly dehydrogenase and glucosidase, increased upon the addition of biochar, and this effect was fostered by NPs. Most treatments led to a significant reduction of metal(loid)s contents in biomass, mitigating contamination risks. The two different NPs had similar effects in many parameters, nH outperformed nZVI in terms of increased nutrients, C content, and enzymatic activities. On the basis of our results, combined biochar-NP amendments use, specially nH, emerges as a potential post-mining soil restoration strategy.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118715. [PMID: 38490631 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118715] [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: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
Vegetation restoration exerts transformative effects on nutrient cycling, microbial communities, and ecosystem functions. While extensive research has been conducted on the significance of mangroves and their restoration efforts, the effectiveness of mangrove restoration in enhancing soil multifunctionality in degraded coastal wetlands remains unclear. Herein, we carried out a field experiment to explore the impacts of mangrove restoration and its chronosequence on soil microbial communities, keystone species, and soil multifunctionality, using unrestored aquaculture ponds as controls. The results revealed that mangrove restoration enhanced soil multifunctionality, with these positive effects progressively amplifying over the restoration chronosequence. Furthermore, mangrove restoration led to a substantial increase in microbial diversity and a reshaping of microbial community composition, increasing the relative abundance of dominant phyla such as Nitrospirae, Deferribacteres, and Fusobacteria. Soil multifunctionality exhibited positive correlations with microbial diversity, suggesting a link between variations in microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality. Metagenomic screening demonstrated that mangrove restoration resulted in a simultaneous increase in the abundance of nitrogen (N) related genes, such as N fixation (nirD/H/K), nitrification (pmoA-amoA/B/C), and denitrification (nirK, norB/C, narG/H, napA/B), as well as phosphorus (P)-related genes, including organic P mineralization (phnX/W, phoA/D/G, phnJ/N/P), inorganic P solubilization (gcd, ppx-gppA), and transporters (phnC/D/E, pstA/B/C/S)). The relationship between the abundance of keystone species (such as phnC/D/E) and restoration-induced changes in soil multifunctionality indicates that mangrove restoration enhances soil multifunctionality through an increase in the abundance of keystone species associated with N and P cycles. Additionally, it was observed that changes in microbial community and multifunctionality were largely associated with shifts in soil salinity. These findings demonstrate that mangrove restoration positively influences soil multifunctionality and shapes nutrient dynamics, microbial communities, and overall ecosystem resilience. As global efforts continue to focus on ecosystem restoration, understanding the complexity of mangrove-soil interactions is critical for effective nutrient management and mangrove conservation.

Abstract
In the present scenario, growing population demands more food, resulting in the need for sustainable agriculture. Numerous approaches are explored in response to dangers and obstacles to sustainable agriculture. A viable approach is to be exploiting microbial consortium, which generate diverse biostimulants with growth-promoting characteristics for plants. These bioinoculants play an indispensable role in optimizing nutrient uptake efficiency mitigating environmental stress. Plant productivity is mostly determined by the microbial associations that exist at the rhizospheric region of plants. The engineered consortium with multifunctional attributes can be effectively employed to improve crop growth efficacy. A number of approaches have been employed to identify the efficient consortia for plant growth and enhanced crop productivity. Various plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbes with host growth-supporting characteristics were investigated to see if they might work cohesively and provide a cumulative effect for improved growth and crop yield. The effective microbial consortia should be assessed using compatibility tests, pot experimentation techniques, generation time, a novel and quick plant bioassay, and sensitivity to external stimuli (temperature, pH). The mixture of two or more microbial strains found in the root microbiome stimulates plant growth and development. The present review deals with mechanism, formulation, inoculation process, commercialization, and applications of microbial consortia as plant bioinoculants for agricultural sustainability.

BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:510. [PMID: 38844838 PMCID: PMC11157749 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05241-y] [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] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimum planting date and appropriate fertilizer module are essential facets of chrysanthemum cultivation, to enhance quality yield, and improve soil health. A field-based study was undertaken over multiple growing seasons in 2022 and 2023, where six different planting dates, viz., P1:June 15, P2:June 30, P3:July 15, P4:July 30, P5:August 15 and P6:August 30 and two fertilizer modules, FM1:Jeevamrit @ 30 ml plant-1 and FM2:NPK @ 30 g m-2 were systematically examined using a Randomized Block Design (factorial), replicated thrice. RESULTS P6 planting resulted in early bud formation (44.03 days) and harvesting stage (90.78 days). Maximum plant height (79.44 cm), plant spread (34.04 cm), cut stem length (68.40 cm), flower diameter (7.83 cm), stem strength (19.38˚), vase life (14.90 days), flowering duration (24.08 days), available soil N (314 kg ha-1), available P (37 kg ha-1), available K (347 kg ha-1), bacterial count (124.87 × 107 cfu g-1 soil), actinomycetes count (60.72 × 102 cfu g-1 soil), fungal count (30.95 × 102 cfu g-1 soil), microbial biomass (48.79 µg g-1 soil), dehydrogenase enzyme (3.64 mg TPF h-1 g-1 soil) and phosphatase enzyme (23.79 mol PNP h-1 g-1 soil) was recorded in P1 planting. Among the fertilization module, minimum days to bud formation (74.94 days) and days to reach the harvesting stage (120.95 days) were recorded with the application of NPK @30 g m-2. However, maximum plant height (60.62 cm), plant spread (23.10 cm), number of cut stems m-2 (43.88), cut stem length (51.34 cm), flower diameter (6.92 cm), stem strength (21.24˚), flowering duration (21.75 days), available soil N (317 kg ha-1), available P (37 kg ha-1) and available K (349 kg ha-1) were also recorded with the application of NPK @300 kg ha-1. Maximum vase life (13.87 days), OC (1.13%), bacterial count (131.65 × 107 cfu g-1 soil), actinomycetes count (60.89 × 102 cfu g-1 soil), fungal count (31.11 × 102 cfu g-1 soil), microbial biomass (51.27 µg g-1 soil), dehydrogenase enzyme (3.77 mg TPF h-1 g-1 soil) and phosphatase enzyme (21.72 mol PNP h-1 g-1 soil) were observed with the application of Jeevamrit @ 30 ml plant-1. CONCLUSION Early planting (P1) and inorganic fertilization (NPK @ 30 g m-2) resulted in improved yield and soil macronutrient content. The soil microbial population and enzymatic activity were improved with the jeevamrit application. This approach highlights the potential for improved yield and soil health in chrysanthemum cultivation, promoting a more eco-friendly and economically viable agricultural model.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 360:121167. [PMID: 38749136 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121167] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Organic amendment substitutes mineral fertilizers has been proven to increase the organic matter content of soils, which in turn may induce phosphorus (P) mobilization by triggering the redox reaction. However, under flooded conditions according to local agricultural practices, as one of the factors restricting the decomposition of organic matter, the role ammonium plays in P transformation and leaching from soils with different organic matter remains unclear. To address the knowledge gap, the calcareous soils were collected from a long-term field trial (>13 years) containing two treatments with equal P inputs: a long-term mineral fertilization and a long-term organic amendment. Both long-term mineral fertilized soil and long-term organic amended soil were split into ammonium applications or no ammonium applications. A series of column devices were deployed to create flooded conditions and monitor the P leaching from the collected soils. The K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure and sequential extraction method were employed jointly to detect soil P fractions and speciation, and the P sorption/desorption characteristics of soil were evaluated by Langmuir fitting. The results showed a reduction of cumulative leached P from soils by 33.2%-43.3% after ammonium addition, regardless of previous long-term mineral fertilization or organic amendment history. A significant enhancement of soil labile P pool (indicated by the H2O-P fraction and NaHCO3-P fraction) after ammonium addition results in the reduction in soil P leaching. The reduced P sorption capacity coupled with the transformation from hydroxyapatite to β-tricalcium phosphate indicated that the phosphate retention is attributed to the precipitation formation rather than phosphate sorption by soil. The present study highlights that the ammonium addition could affect the phosphate precipitation transformation. This may be attributed to the effect of ammonium addition on the calcium and magnesium ion content and molar ratio in this soil, thereby regulating the form of soil phosphate precipitation. The mechanisms revealed in this study can support developing optimized agricultural management practices to alleviate soil P loss.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) use efficiency in alkaline/calcareous soils is only 20% due to precipitation of P2O5 with calcium and magnesium. However, coating Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) with phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is more appropriate to increase fertilizer use efficiency. Therefore, with the aim to use inorganic fertilizers more effectively present study was conducted to investigate comparative effect of coated DAP with PSB strains Bacillus subtilis ZE15 (MN003400), Bacillus subtilis ZR3 (MN007185), Bacillus megaterium ZE32 (MN003401) and Bacillus megaterium ZR19 (MN007186) and their extracted metabolites with uncoated DAP under axenic conditions. Gene sequencing was done against various sources of phosphorus to analyze genes responsible for phosphatase activity. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) gene amplicon of 380bp from all tested strains was showed in 1% w/v gel. Release pattern of P was also improved with coated fertilizer. The results showed that coated phosphatic fertilizer enhanced shoot dry weight by 43 and 46% under bacterial and metabolites coating respectively. Shoot and root length up to 44 and 42% with metabolites coated DAP and 41% with bacterial coated DAP. Physiological attributes also showed significant improvement with coated DAP over conventional. The results supported the application of coated DAP as a useful medium to raise crop yield even at lower application rates i.e., 50 and 75% DAP than non-coated 100% DAP application which advocated this coating technique a promising approach for advancing circular economy and sustainable development in modern agriculture.

Bacillus subtilis promotes plant phosphorus (P) acquisition through P solubilization and stimulation of root and root hair growth. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2024; 176:e14338. [PMID: 38740528 DOI: 10.1111/ppl.14338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Bacteria can be applied as biofertilizers to improve crop growth in phosphorus (P)-limited conditions. However, their mode of action in a soil environment is still elusive. We used the strain ALC_02 as a case study to elucidate how Bacillus subtilis affects dwarf tomato cultivated in soil-filled rhizoboxes over time. ALC_02 improved plant P acquisition by increasing the size and P content of P-limited plants. We assessed three possible mechanisms, namely root growth stimulation, root hair elongation, and solubilization of soil P. ALC_02 produced auxin, and inoculation with ALC_02 promoted root growth. ALC_02 promoted root hair elongation as the earliest observed response and colonized root hairs specifically. Root and root hair growth stimulation was associated with a subsequent increase in plant P content, indicating that a better soil exploration by the root system improved plant P acquisition. Furthermore, ALC_02 affected the plant-available P content in sterilized soil differently over time and released P from native P pools in the soil. Collectively, ALC_02 exhibited all three mechanisms in a soil environment. To our knowledge, bacterial P biofertilizers have not been reported to colonize and elongate root hairs in the soil so far, and we propose that these traits contribute to the overall effect of ALC_02. The knowledge gained in this research can be applied in the future quest for bacterial P biofertilizers, where we recommend assessing all three parameters, not only root growth and P solubilization, but also root hair elongation. This will ultimately support the development of sustainable agricultural practices.

Tuan HNA, Phan BTC, Giang HN, Nguyen GT, Le TDH, Phuong H. Impact of Modifications from Potassium Hydroxide on Porous Semi-IPN Hydrogel Properties and Its Application in Cultivation. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1195. [PMID: 38732665 PMCID: PMC11085908 DOI: 10.3390/polym16091195] [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: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
This study synthesized and modified a semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel from polyacrylamide, N,N'-dimethylacrylamide, and maleic acid in a potassium hydroxide solution. The chemical composition, interior morphology, thermal properties, mechanical characteristics, and swelling behaviors of the initial hydrogel (SH) and modified hydrogel (SB) in water, salt solutions, and buffer solutions were investigated. Hydrogels were used as phosphate fertilizer (PF) carriers and applied in farming techniques by evaluating their impact on soil properties and the growth of mustard greens. Fourier-transform infrared spectra confirmed the chemical composition of SH, SB, and PF-adsorbed hydrogels. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that modification increased the largest pore size from 817 to 1513 µm for SH and SB hydrogels, respectively. After modification, the hydrogels had positive changes in the swelling ratio, swelling kinetics, thermal properties, mechanical and rheological properties, PF absorption, and PF release. The modification also increased the maximum amount of PF loaded into the hydrogel from 710.8 mg/g to 770.9 mg/g, while the maximum % release of PF slightly increased from 84.42% to 85.80%. In addition, to evaluate the PF release mechanism and the factors that influence this process, four kinetic models were applied to confirm the best-fit model, which included zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas. In addition, after six cycles of absorption and release in the soil, the hydrogels retained their original shapes, causing no alkalinization or acidification. At the same time, the moisture content was higher as SB was used. Finally, modifying the hydrogel increased the mustard greens' lifespan from 20 to 32 days. These results showed the potential applications of modified semi-IPN hydrogel materials in cultivation.

Comparison of bio-beads combined with Pseudomonas edaphica and three phosphate materials for lead immobilization: Performance, mechanism and plant growth. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 357:120797.

Abstract
Phosphate materials (PMs) combine with phosphate solubilizing bacteria play an essential roles in lead (Pb) immobilization, but their resulting ability to reduce Pb bioavailability may vary depending on PMs used. In this study, Pseudomonas edaphica GAU-665 and three PMs: tricalcium phosphate, calcium phytate and nano-hydroxyapatite were respectively encapsulated into bio-beads by sodium alginate, which immobilization efficiency of Pb2+ were 99.11%, 97.76% and 99.02% at initial Pb2+ concentration of 200 mg L-1, respectively. The Pb2+ immobilization performance of bio-beads under different conditions and their organic acids secreted were examined. Most Pb2+ was immobilized by bio-beads through combined functions of adsorption, precipitation, ion exchange and biomineralization, accompanied by the formation of more stable compounds such as Pb3(PO4)2, Pb5(PO4)3OH and Pb5(PO4)3Cl. Meanwhile, pot experimental results indicated that the inoculation of CPhy (calcium phytate) bio-beads with PSB have highest biomass and root growth of oat (Avena sativa L.) in Pb-stressed compared with CK, which increased the content of chlorophyll b (167.51%) in shoot. In addition, the CPhy bio-beads enhance the peroxidase, catalase activities and reduce the malondialdehyde content to alleviating lead physiological toxicity in oat, which reductions the Pb accumulation in shoot (52.06%) and root (81.04%), and increased the residual fraction of Pb by 165.80% in soil. These findings suggest the bio-beads combined with P. edaphica GAU-665 and calcium phytate is an efficient Pb immobilization material and provided feasible way to improve safety agricultural production and Pb-contaminated soil remediation.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for plants, and a lack of available P greatly limits plant growth and development. Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) significantly enhance the ability of plants to absorb and utilize P, which is important for improving plant nutrient turnover and yield. This article summarizes and analyzes how PSMs promote the absorption and utilization of P nutrients by plants from four perspectives: the types and functions of PSMs, phosphate-solubilizing mechanisms, main functional genes, and the impact of complex inoculation of PSMs on plant P acquisition. This article reviews the physiological and molecular mechanisms of phosphorus solubilization and growth promotion by PSMs, with a focus on analyzing the impact of PSMs on soil microbial communities and its interaction with root exudates. In order to better understand the ability of PSMs and their role in soil P transformation and to provide prospects for research on PSMs promoting plant P absorption. PSMs mainly activate insoluble P through the secretion of organic acids, phosphatase production, and mycorrhizal symbiosis, mycorrhizal symbiosis indirectly activates P via carbon exchange. PSMs can secrete organic acids and produce phosphatase, which plays a crucial role in soil P cycling, and related genes are involved in regulating the P-solubilization ability. This article reviews the mechanisms by which microorganisms promote plant uptake of soil P, which is of great significance for a deeper understanding of PSM-mediated soil P cycling, plant P uptake and utilization, and for improving the efficiency of P utilization in agriculture.

Manure derived hydrochar reduced phosphorus loss risk via an alteration of phosphorus fractions and diversified microbial community in rice paddy soil. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170582.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) loss caused by the irrational use of manure organic fertilizer has become a worldwide environmental problem, which has caused a potential threat to water safety and intensified agricultural non-point source pollution. Hydrothermal carbonization is method with a low-energy consumption and high efficiency to deal with environmental problems. Application of pig manure-derived hydrochar (PMH) to soil exhibited potential of sustainable development compared with the pristine pig manure (PM). However, the effects of PMH on the distribution of P among the fractions/forms and the interaction between microorganisms and P forms and its relevance to the potential loss of P in paddy fields has not been clarified. Therefore, in this study, a soil column experiment was conducted using the untreated soil (control), and the PM, PMH1 (PMH derived at 180 °C), and PMH2 (PMH derived at 260 °C) treated soils (at the dose of 0.05 %) and rice was cultivated to investigate the effects of PM and PMH on the P fractions, mobilization, ad potential loss via the induced changes on soil microbial community after a complete growing season of rice. The trend of P utilization was evaluated by P speciation via continuous extraction and 31P NMR. The addition of PMH reduced the proportion of residual P in soil by 23.8-26.3 %, and increased the proportion of HCl-P and orthophosphate by 116.2-158.6 % and 6.1-6.8 % compared to PM. The abundance of gcd gene developed after the application of PMH2, which enhanced the mobile forms of soil P utilization via secreting gluconic acid. The network diagram analysis concluded that the changes in various P forms were mainly related to Proteobacteria, Bacteroides, Firmicutes and Acidobacteria. The results illustrated that PMH mitigate the potential risk of P loss more than PM by altering P fractions and affecting soil microbial community.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 916:170294.

Abstract
Calcium-silicon-magnesium-potassium fertilizer (CSMP) is usually used as an amendment to counteract soil acidification caused by historical excessive nitrogen (N) applications. However, the impact of CSMP addition on phosphorus (P) mobilization in acidic soils and the related mechanisms are not fully understood. Specifically, a knowledge gap exists with regards to changes in soil extracellular enzymes that contribute to P release. Such a knowledge gap was investigated by an incubation study with four treatments: i) initial soil (Control), ii) urea (60 mg kg-1) addition (U); iii) CSMP (1%) addition (CSMP) and iv) urea (60 mg kg-1) and CSMP (1%) additions (U + CSMP). Phosphorus mobilization induced by different processes was distinguished by biologically based P extraction. The Langmuir equation, K edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, and ecoenzyme vector analysis according to the extracellular enzyme activity stoichiometry were deployed to investigate soil P sorption intensity, precipitation species, and microbial-driven turnover of organophosphorus. Results showed that CaCl2 extractable P (or citric acid extractable P) content increased by 63.4% (or 39.2%) in the soil with CSMP addition, compared with the study control. The accelerated mobilization of aluminum (Al)/iron (Fe)-bound P after CSMP addition, indicated by the reduction of the sum of FePO4·2H2O and AlPO4 proportion, contributed to this increase. The decrease of P sorption capacity can also be responsible for it. The CSMP addition increased enzyme extractable P in the soil nearly 7-fold and mitigated the limitations of carbon (C) and P for soil microorganisms (indicated by the enzyme stoichiometry and ecoenzyme vector analysis), suggesting that microbial turnover processes also contribute to P mobilization in amended acidic soil. These findings indicate that the P mobilization in CSMP amended acidic soil not only attributed to both decreasing P sorption capacity and dissolving phosphate precipitation, but also to the increase of the microbial turnover of the organophosphorus pool.

Abstract
The practice of returning straw to agricultural fields is a globally employed technique. Such agricultural fields also receive a significant amount of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers, because these two macronutrients are essential for plant growth and development. However, the consequences of such macronutrients input on straw decomposition, soil dissolved organic matter (DOM), key microbes, and lignocellulolytic enzymes are still unclear. In a similar aim, we designed a long-term straw returning study without and with different N and P nutrient supplementation: CK (N0P0), T1 (N120P0), T2 (N120P60), T3 (N120P90), T4 (N120P120), T5 (N0P90), T6 (N60P90), and T7 (N180P90), and evaluated their impact on rice and oilseed rape yield, soil DOM, enzymes, lignocellulose content, microbial diversity, and composition. We found straw returning improved overall yield in all treatments and T7 showed the highest yield for oilseed rape (30.31-38.87 g/plant) and rice (9.14-9.91 t/ha) during five-years of study. The fertilizer application showed a significant impact on soil physicochemical properties, such as water holding capacity and soil porosity decreased, and bulk density increased in fertilized treatments, as compared to CK. Similarly, significantly low OM, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content were found in T7, T4, T3, and T2, while high values were found in CK and T5, respectively. The fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra of DOM of different treatments revealed that T3, T7, T4, and T6 showed high peak M (microbial by-products), peak A and peak C (humic acid-like) as compared to others. The microbial composition was also distinctive in each treatment and a high relative abundance of Chloroflexi, Actinobacteriota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota were found in T2 and T3 treatments, respectively. These findings indicate that the decomposition of straw in the agricultural field was dependent on nutrients input, which facilitated key microbial growth and impacted positively on lignocellulolytic enzymes, which further aided the breakdown of all components of straw in the field efficiently. On the other hand, high input of chemical based fertilizers to soil can lead to several environmental issues, such as nutrient imbalance, nutrient runoff, soil pH change and changes in microbial activities. Keeping that in consideration, we recommend moderate fertilizer dosage (N120P90) in such fields to achieve higher decomposition of crop straw with a small yield compromise.

Abstract
Bacterial inoculants have been used in agriculture to improve plant performance. However, laboratory and field requirements must be completed before a candidate can be employed as an inoculant. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the parameters for inoculant formulation and the potential of Bacillus subtilis (B70) and B. pumilus (B32) to improve phosphorus availability in maize (Zea mays L.) crops. In vitro experiments assessed the bacterial ability to solubilize and mineralize phosphate, their adherence to roots, and shelf life in cassava starch (CS), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), peat, and activated charcoal (AC) stored at 4 °C and room temperature for 6 months. A field experiment evaluated the effectiveness of strains to increase the P availability to plants growing with rock phosphate (RP) and a mixture of RP and triple superphosphate (TS) and their contribution to improving maize yield and P accumulation in grains. The B70 was outstanding in solubilizing RP and phytate mineralization and more stable in carriers and storage conditions than B32. However, root adherence was more noticeable in B32. Among carriers, AC was the most effective for preserving viable cell counts, closely similar to those of the initial inoculum of both strains. Maize productivity using the mixture RPTS was similar for B70 and B32. The best combination was B70 with RP, which improved the maize yield (6532 kg ha-1) and P accumulation in grains (15.95 kg ha-1). Our results indicated that the inoculant formulation with AC carrier and B70 is a feasible strategy for improving phosphorus mobilization in the soil and maize productivity.

[PMID: 38392808 PMCID: PMC10890576 DOI: 10.3390/jof10020136] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The symbiosis between endophytic fungi and plants can promote the absorption of potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients by plants. Phosphorus is one of the indispensable nutrient elements for plant growth and development. However, the content of available phosphorus in soil is very low, which limits the growth of plants. Phosphorus-soluble microorganisms can improve the utilization rate of insoluble phosphorus. In this study, Talaromyces verruculosus (T. verruculosus), a potential phosphorus-soluble fungus, was isolated from Acer truncatum, a plant with strong stress resistance, and its phosphorus-soluble ability in relation to cucumber seedlings under different treatment conditions was determined. In addition, the morphological, physiological, and biochemical indexes of the cucumber seedlings were assessed. The results show that T. verruculosus could solubilize tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and lecithin, and the solubilization effect of lecithin was higher than that of TCP. After the application of T. verruclosus, the leaf photosynthetic index increased significantly. The photosynthetic system damage caused by low phosphorus stress was alleviated, and the root morphological indexes of cucumber seedlings were increased. The plant height, stem diameter, and leaf area of cucumber seedlings treated with T. verruculosus were also significantly higher than those without treatment. Therefore, it was shown that T. verruculosus is a beneficial endophytic fungus that can promote plant growth and improve plant stress resistance. This study will provide a useful reference for further research on endophytic fungi to promote growth and improve plant stress resistance.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of sulfur and phosphorus transformation during composting is important for improving compost fertility. This study aims to investigate the microbial mechanism of available sulfur and phosphorus transformation during sheep manure composting under different moisture contents (45%: M45 and 60%: M60) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau using metagenomics technology. The results showed that the final available sulfur and phosphorus contents of M45 were 11% and 13% higher than those of M60, respectively. M45 enhanced sulfur oxidation, sulfate reduction, and thiosulfate disproportionation. These steps were significantly positively correlated with available sulfur, and Pseudomonas, Thermobifida, Luteimonas, Brevibacterium, Planifilum, and Xinfangfangia were the main participants. Available phosphorus was significantly positively correlated with polyphosphate degradation and inorganic P solubilization, and the main participants in these steps were Luteimonas, Brachybacterium, Corynebacterium, Jeotgalicoccus, Microbacterium, Streptomyces, and Pseudoxanthomonas. These findings reveal the microbial mechanisms of available and phosphorus transformation during composting at two moisture contents.

Abstract
Utilizing digestate as a fertilizer enhances soil nutrient content, improves fertility, and minimizes nutrient runoff, mitigating water pollution risks. This alternative approach replaces commercial fertilizers, thereby reducing their environmental impact and lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilizer production and landfilling. Herein, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of various soil amendments, including carbon fractions from waste materials (biochar, compost, and cocopeat), and food waste anaerobic digestate application methods on tomato plant growth (Solanum lycopersicum) and soil fertility. The results suggested that incorporating soil amendments (biochar, compost, and cocopeat) into the potting mix alongside digestate application significantly enhances crop yields, with increases ranging from 12.8 to 17.3% compared to treatments without digestate. Moreover, the combination of soil-biochar amendment and digestate application suggested notable improvements in nitrogen levels by 20.3% and phosphorus levels by 14%, surpassing the performance of the those without digestate. Microbial analysis revealed that the soil-biochar amendment significantly enhanced biological nitrification processes, leading to higher nitrogen levels compared to soil-compost and soil-cocopeat amendments, suggesting potential nitrogen availability enhancement within the rhizosphere's ecological system. Chlorophyll content analysis suggested a significant 6.91% increase with biochar and digestate inclusion in the soil, compared to the treatments without digestate. These findings underscore the substantial potential of crop cultivation using soil-biochar amendments in conjunction with organic fertilization through food waste anaerobic digestate, establishing a waste-to-food recycling system.

Abstract
Most of the phosphorus incorporated into agricultural soils through the use of fertilizers precipitates in the form of insoluble salts that are incapable of being used by plants. This insoluble phosphorus present in large quantities in soil forms the well-known "phosphorus legacy". The solubilization of this "phosphorus legacy" has become a goal of great agronomic importance, and the use of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria would be a useful tool for this purpose. In this work, we have isolated and characterized phosphate-solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere of hop plants. Two particular strains, Pseudomonas taetrolens ULE-PH5 and Pseudomonas sp. ULE-PH6, were selected as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria due to their high phosphate solubilization capability in both plate and liquid culture assays and other interesting traits, including auxin and siderophore production, phytate degradation, and acidic and alkaline phosphatase production. These strains were able to significantly increase phosphate uptake and accumulation of phosphorus in the aerial part (stems, petioles, and leaves) of hop plants, as determined by greenhouse trials. These strains are promising candidates to produce biofertilizers specifically to increase phosphate adsorption by hop plants.

Understanding the Relations between Soil Biochemical Properties and N 2O Emissions in a Long-Term Integrated Crop-Livestock System. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:365.

Abstract
Edaphoclimatic conditions influence nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural systems where soil biochemical properties play a key role. This study addressed cumulative N2O emissions and their relations with soil biochemical properties in a long-term experiment (26 years) with integrated crop-livestock farming systems fertilized with two P and K rates. The farming systems consisted of continuous crops fertilized with half of the recommended P and K rates (CCF1), continuous crops at the recommended P and K rates (CCF2), an integrated crop-livestock system with half of the recommended P and K rates (ICLF1), and an integrated crop-livestock at the recommended P and K rates (ICLF2). The ICLF2 may have promoted the greatest entry of carbon into the soil and positively influenced the soil's biochemical properties. Total carbon (TC) was highest in ICLF2 in both growing seasons. The particulate and mineral-associated fractions in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and the microbial biomass fraction in the two growing seasons were also very high. Acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase in ICLF1 and ICLF2 were highest in 2016. The soil properties correlated with cumulative N2O emissions were TC, total nitrogen (TN), particulate nitrogen (PN), available nitrogen (AN), mineral-associated organic carbon (MAC), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC). The results indicated that ICLF2 induces an accumulation of more stable organic matter (OM) fractions that are unavailable to the microbiota in the short term and result in lower N2O emissions.

Corn straw biochar addition elevated phosphorus availability in a coastal salt-affected soil under the conditions of different halophyte litter input and moisture contents. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 908:168355.

Abstract
Improving salt-affected soil health using different strategies is of great significance for Sustainable Development Goals. The effects of biochar as a sustainable carbon negative soil amendment on phosphorous (P) pools in the degraded salt-affected soils of the of coastal wetlands (as one of the primary blue carbon ecosystems) with halophyte litter input under different water conditions (the two intrinsic characteristics of coastal wetlands) are poorly understood. Thus, a corn straw derived biochar (CBC) was added into a coastal salt-affected soil collected from the Yellow River Delta to investigate its effect on P fractions and availability under the input of three different local halophyte litters (i.e., Suaeda salsa, Imperata cylindrica and Phragmites australis) and under the unflooded and flooded water conditions. The results showed that the individual input of Suaeda salsa increased soil P availability by 28.2-40.9 %, but Imperata cylindrica and Phragmites australis had little effect on P availability. CBC individual amendment more efficiently enhanced P availability in the unflooded soil than the flooded soil. However, the co-amendment of CBC with litters showed little synergistic effect on P availability. CBC sharply increased the proportion of Ca-bound labile P fraction, but moderately lifted the proportion of Al/Fe-bound mediumly labile P fraction. CBC-enhanced P availability and altered inorganic P fractions were mainly resulted from the provision of labile inherent P by biochar, improved soil properties (i.e., increased CEC), and altered bacterial community composition (i.e., elevated abundance of P-solubilizing and phosphate-accumulating bacteria). These findings give new insights into understanding P biogeochemical cycling in the coastal salt-affected soils amended with biochars, and will be helpful to develop biochar-based technologies for enhancing P pools and improving soil health of the blue carbon ecosystems.

Abstract
Soil salinization is a significant abiotic factor threatening agricultural production, while the low availability of phosphorus (P) in plants is another worldwide limitation. Approximately 95-99% of the P in soil is unavailable to plants. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) transform insoluble phosphates into soluble forms that plants can utilize. The application of PSB can replace or partially reduce the use of P fertilizers. Therefore, selecting bacteria with high solubilization capacity from extreme environments, such as saline soils, becomes crucial. This study aimed to identify twenty-nine bacterial strains from the rhizosphere of Salicornia fruticosa by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene, evaluate their development in increasing concentrations of NaCl, classify them according to their salinity response, and determine their P solubilization capability. The bacteria were cultivated in nutrient agar medium with NaCl concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 30%. The phosphate solubilization capacity of the bacteria was evaluated in angar and broth National Botanical Research Institute (NBRIP) media supplemented with calcium phosphate (CaHPO4) and aluminum phosphate (AlPO4), and increased with 3% NaCl. All bacterial strains were classified as halotolerant and identified to the genera Bacillus, Enterobacter, Halomonas, Kushneria, Oceanobacillus, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus, with only one isolate was not identified. The isolates with the highest ability to solubilize phosphorus from CaHPO4 in the liquid medium were Kushneria sp. (SS102) and Enterobacter sp. (SS186), with 989.53 and 956.37 mg·Kg-1 P content and final pH of 4.1 and 3.9, respectively. For the solubilization of AlPO4, the most effective isolates were Bacillus sp. (SS89) and Oceanobacillus sp. (SS94), which raised soluble P by 61.10 and 45.82 mg·Kg-1 and final pH of 2.9 and 3.6, respectively. These bacteria demonstrated promising results in in vitro P solubilization and can present potential for the development of bioinput. Further analyses, involving different phosphate sources and the composition of produced organic acids, will be conducted to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of their applications in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is one of the most common limited nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems. Animal bones, with abundant bioapatite, are considerable P sources in terrestrial ecosystems. Heating significantly promotes P release from bone bioapatite, which may alleviate P limitation in soil. This study aimed to explore P release from charred bone (CB) under heating at various temperatures (based on common natural heating). It showed that heating at ∼300 °C significantly increased the P release (up to ∼30 mg/kg) from CB compared with other heating temperatures. Then, the subsequent changes of available P and pH induced evident alternation of soil microbial community composition. For instance, CB heated at ∼300 °C caused elevation of phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) abundance. This further stimulated P mobility in the soil. Meanwhile, the fungal community assembly process was shifted from stochastic to deterministic, whereas the bacterial community was relatively stable. This indicated that the bacterial community showed fewer sensitive responses to the CB addition. This study hence elucidated the significant contribution of heated bone materials on P supply. Moreover, functional fungi might assist CB treated by natural heating (e.g., fire) to construct P "Hot Spots".

Abstract
With the development of agricultural intensification, phosphorus (P) accumulation in croplands and sediments has resulted in the increasingly widespread interaction between inorganic and organic P species, which has been, previously, underestimated or even ignored. We quantified the nanoscale dissolution kinetics of sparingly soluble brushite (CaHPO4·2H2O, DCPD) over a broad range of phosphate and/or phytate concentrations by using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). Compared to water, we found that low concentrations of phosphate (1-1000 µM) or phytate (1-100 µM) inhibited brushite dissolution by slowing single step retraction. However, with increasing phosphate or phytate concentrations to 10 mM, there was a reverse effect of dissolution promotion at brushite-water interfaces. In situ observations of the coupled dissolution-reprecipitation showed that phosphate precipitated more readily than phytate on brushite surfaces, with the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). For a fundamental understanding, zeta potential and in situ Raman spectroscopy (RS) revealed that the concentration-dependent dissolution is attributed to the reverse of outer-sphere to inner-sphere adsorption with increasing phosphate or phytate concentrations. In addition, the mineralization of phytate with outer-sphere adsorption by phytase was higher than that with inner-spere adsorption, and the presence of phytate delayed ACP phase transformation to hydroxylapatite (HAP). These in situ observations and analyses may fill the knowledge gaps of interaction between inorganic and organic P species in P-rich terrestrial and aquatic environments, thereby implicating their biogeochemical cycling and the associated availability.

Abstract
Mineral fertilizers are a new type of sustainable fertilizers, containing natural ores as the primary raw material with various nutrients and organic matters. This study combines two methods of bibliometric analysis to comprehensively review the progress of mineral fertilizers from 2000 to 2021. The results showed that the research on mineral fertilizers has increased in the past 21 years, especially after 2014. Developed countries studied mineral fertilizers more extensively than developing countries, but some developing countries, such as China and India, are also paying attention to this area in recent years. Chinese Academic of Sciences, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences were the main publishing institutions. Nutrient elements, changes in soil properties, and the effects on promoting crop growth were the main contents of the research. Still, such issues as bioremediation, soil environment improvement, and crop resistance are becoming hot spots. The field of mineral fertilizers showed a strong interdisciplinary nature and an increasingly comprehensive research perspective. The goal is that this synthesis will be used as a starting point for a broader study on responsible environmental management and research on improving fertilizer use efficiency.

Abstract
Application of organic residues such as farm manure and biochar in various agricultural environments have shown positive effects on soil carbon sequestration. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the agronomical benefits of a single and small dose of biochar and farm manure in arid alkaline soils. Therefore, a field experiment with the given treatments (1) control (no amendment), (2) acidified manure (AM) at 300 kg ha-1, (3) nitrogen (N) enriched biochar (NeB) at 3 Mg ha-1, and (4) an equal combination of AM + NeB (150 kg ha-1 AM + 1.5 Mg ha-1 NeB)) was conducted in a typical cotton-wheat cropping system. A parallel laboratory incubation study with the same amendments was carried out to account for soil carbon dioxide emission (CO2). The N enrichment of biochar and its co-application with acidified manure increased soil mineral N (NO3- and NH4+) in the topsoil (0-15 cm), and increased total N uptake (25.92% to 69.91%) in cotton over control, thus reducing N losses and increased uptake over control. Compared to the control, co-application of AM + NeB significantly improved soil N and P bioavailability, leading to increased plant biomass N, P, and K (32%, 40%, 6%, respectively) uptake over control. The plant's physiological and growth improvements [chlorophyll (+ 28.2%), height (+ 47%), leaf area (+ 17%), number of bolls (+ 7%), and average boll weight (+ 8%)] increased the agronomic yield in the first-season crop cotton by 25%. However, no positive response was observed in the second season wheat crop. This field study improved our understanding that co-application of acidified manure and N-enriched biochar in small dose can be a strategy to achieve short-term agronomic benefits and carbon sequestration in the long run.

Abstract
Phosphorus is essential to plant growth and agricultural crop yields, yet the challenges associated with phosphorus fertilization in agriculture, such as aquatic runoff pollution and poor phosphorus bioavailability, are increasingly difficult to manage. Comprehensively understanding the dynamics of phosphorus uptake and signaling mechanisms will inform the development of strategies to address these issues. This review describes regulatory mechanisms used by specific tissues in the root apical meristem to sense and take up phosphate from the rhizosphere. The major regulatory mechanisms and related hormone crosstalk underpinning phosphate starvation responses, cellular phosphate homeostasis, and plant adaptations to phosphate starvation are also discussed, along with an overview of the major mechanism of plant systemic phosphate starvation responses. Finally, this review discusses recent promising genetic engineering strategies for improving crop phosphorus use and computational approaches that may help further design strategies for improved plant phosphate acquisition. The mechanisms and approaches presented include a wide variety of species including not only Arabidopsis but also crop species such as Oryza sativa (rice), Glycine max (soybean), and Triticum aestivum (wheat) to address both general and species-specific mechanisms and strategies. The aspects of phosphorus deficiency responses and recently employed strategies of improving phosphate acquisition that are detailed in this review may provide insights into the mechanisms or phenotypes that may be targeted in efforts to improve crop phosphorus content and plant growth in low phosphorus soils.

Abstract
Phosphorus bioavailability is essential for assessing compost quality. However, the effects of microbial and environmental factors on potentially active phosphorus (H2O-P + NaHCO3-Pi) in factory compost have not been investigated. The findings indicated that chicken manure had significantly higher available phosphorus (AP) and H2O-P + NaHCO3-Pi throughout the composting process than kitchen waste (P < 0.05). Chicken manure compost also exhibited higher α-microbial diversity. Novibacillus, Marinococcaceae and Bacillales were the core bacteria involved in bioavailable phosphorus conversion in both composts. The core bacteria in kitchen waste compost had a broader range of phosphorus metabolism functions. Moreover, moisture and pH were the key environmental factors that significantly influenced the bioavailable phosphorus (P < 0.05). These findings provide a scientific foundation for regulating the composting process and improving phosphorus utilization efficiency.

Abstract
The utilization of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in agriculture has long been proposed as an eco-friendly method to enhance soil phosphorus (P) availability, thereby reducing reliance on chemical P fertilizers. However, their application in saline soils is challenged by salt-induced stress on common PSB strains. In this study, we sourced bacterial strains from marine environments, aiming to identify robust PSB strains adaptable to saline conditions and assess their potential as P bio-fertilizers through a microcosm experiment. Our findings indicate that the inoculation of a selected marine PSB, Bacillus paramycoides 3-1a, increased soil available P content by 12.5% when applied alone and by 61.2% when combined with organic amendments. This enhancement results from improved inorganic P solubilization and organic P mineralization in soils. Additionally, these treatments raised soil nitrogen levels, reshaped microbial community structures, and significantly enhanced wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, with P accumulation increasing by 24.2-40.9%. Our results underscore the potential of marine PSB in conjunction with organic amendments for the amelioration of saline agricultural soils.

Abstract
Legacy phosphorus (P) in watersheds continuously affects the water quality. The time lag between anthropogenic P input and algal bloom has made P dynamics prediction in aquatic ecosystems more challenging. Whether the legacy P in the Yangtze River Watershed (YRW) exceeds its storage threshold remains unknown, and the continuous impact of legacy P on the water quality has not been analyzed. This study aimed to evaluate variation trends (1970-2018) and influencing factors for accumulated P in the YRW under different economic development periods, quantitatively identify the watershed P storage threshold based on the two split line models and estimate the time required for the return of legacy P to the baseline level using an exponential decay process. The results showed that the P storage threshold of the YRW was surpassed due to intense anthropogenic activities, and the residual P still had an impact on aquatic ecosystems for a long time. The dissolved total P loadings may become the top priority to achieve better P management goals. The time lags for the legacy P restoration would require for about 1000 years to be exhausted. The legacy P in the YRW would continuously undermine the restoration efforts of the water quality. The combined effects of watershed P surplus reductions and depletion of residual P may become essential to better manage P in the future. We still need to strengthen our efforts to make soil legacy P more absorbed by crops and improve sewage treatment capacity to achieve sustainable development of YRW.

Abstract
Excessive phosphorus (P) loadings cause major pollution concerns in large catchments. Quantifying the point and nonpoint P sources of large catchments is essential for catchment P management. Although phosphate oxygen isotopes (δ18O(PO4)) can reveal P sources and P cycling in catchments, quantifying multiple P sources in a whole catchment should be a research focus. Therefore, this study aimed to quantitatively identify the proportions of multiple potential end members in a typical large catchment (the Yangtze River Catchment) by combining the phosphate oxygen isotopes, land use type, mixed end-element model, and a Bayesian model. The δ18O(PO4) values of river water varied spatially from 4.9‰ to18.3‰ in the wet season and 6.0‰ to 20.9‰ in the dry season. Minor seasonal differences but obvious spatial changes in δ18O(PO4) values could illustrate how human activity changed the functioning of the system. The results of isotopic mass balance and the Bayesian model confirmed that controlling agricultural P from fertilizers was the key to achieving P emission reduction goals by reducing P inputs. Additionally, the effective rural domestic sewage treatment, development of composting technology, and resource utilization of phosphogypsum waste could also contribute to catchment P control. P sources in catchment ecosystems can be assessed by coupling an isotope approach and multiple-models.

Abstract
The information on changes in phosphorus (P) sorption and desorption characteristics and transformations after biochar application to high P fixing soils is still unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the differential response of biochar derives from five different farm waste viz. Lucaena sp., Albbizia sp., Mangifera indica, Triticum aestivum and Oryza sativa applied at 1 and 3 g kg-1 (w/w) on P sorption and desorption in three texturally different (silt loam, clay loam and sandy loam) soils. The amount of P sorbed by the clay loam was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the silt loam and sandy loam, regardless of added P concentration. The Freundlich isotherms exhibit a better fit (R2 = 0.564-0.996 in silt loam, 0.640-0.993 in clay loam and 0.724-0.993 in sandy loam soil) to P sorption data as compared with the Langmuir isotherm. Biochar application significantly decreased the P desorption maxima and desorption constant. The R2 values ranged from 0.447 to 0.999 in silt loam, 0.438 to 0.996 in clay loam, 0.545 to 0.989 in sandy loam. Lucaena biochar showed highest adsorption maxima, thereby suggesting highest P release, whereas soils treated with Triticum aestivum biochar had the lowest adsorption maxima in both clay loam and sandy loam soil. These results indicated that biochar application can significantly enhance P availability; the extent of which is determined by soil texture and type of biochar. The results of present study highlight that biochar application would help increase soil P availability by enhancing fertilizer-P use efficiency associated with decreased P sorption capacity due to increased flush of available-P in soil colloidal complex.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural lands receiving poultry litter (PL) poses a major environmental challenge. Application of flue-gas-desulfurization (FGD)-gypsum produced from coal power plants in agricultural lands has shown promise to reduce P losses. However, no information is available about the effectiveness of FGD-gypsum addition in reducing P solubility when applied as an in-house amendment. Hence, the objectives of this study were to understand a) effectiveness of FGD-gypsum as a litter amendment in reducing P loss risk; and b) how FGD-gypsum amendment in PL alters the distribution of P forms. Broiler chickens were raised for five flocks in seven individual litter treatments replicated four times in a randomized complete block design. Based on the FGD-gypsum addition, the PL treatments were broadly classified as FGD-gypsum treated and untreated. Toxic metal concentrations were analyzed in FGD-gypsum as well as the treatments. Sequential water extractions were performed to understand P solubility. Litter P fractionation was performed to identify bioavailable P (Water-P), labile P (NaHCO3-P), aluminum/iron chemisorbed P (NaOH-P), and mineral occluded P (HCl-P). Results indicated significantly higher soluble P in all untreated than in all FGD-gypsum treated litters in the initial water extraction. The FGD-gypsum treated litters reduced soluble P by 58 to 67% in the 1st water extraction compared to untreated litters. Fractionation study revealed lower proportion of Water-P and higher proportion of NaHCO3-P and HCl-P in all FGD-gypsum treated than in untreated litters. This study suggests reuse of FGD-gypsum in broiler houses can help reduce P mobility without any toxic metals concerns.

Abstract
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plants, and its storage in the apoplast represents an important Fe pool. Plants have developed various strategies to reutilize this apoplastic Fe pool to adapt to Fe deficiency. In addition, growing evidence indicates that the dynamic changes in apoplastic Fe are critical for plant adaptation to other stresses, including ammonium stress, phosphate deficiency, and pathogen attack. In this review, we discuss and scrutinize the relevance of apoplastic Fe for plant behavior changes in response to stress cues. We mainly focus on the relevant components that modulate the actions and downstream events of apoplastic Fe in stress signaling networks.

Abstract
Phosphorus (Pi) deficiency is a major factor of limiting plant growth. Using Phosphate-solubilizing microorganism (PSM) in synergy with plant root system which supply soluble Pi to plants is an environmentally friendly and efficient way to utilize Pi. Trichoderma viride (T. viride) is a biocontrol agent which able to solubilize soil nutrients, but little is known about its Pi solubilizing properties. The study used T. viride to inoculate Melilotus officinalis (M. officinalis) under different Pi levels and in order to investigate the effect on Pi absorption and growth of seedlings. The results found that T. viride could not only solubilizate insoluble inorganic Pi but also mineralize insoluble organic Pi. In addition, the ability of mineralization to insoluble organic Pi is more stronger. Under different Pi levels, inoculation of T. viride showed that promoted the growth of aboveground parts of seedlings and regulated the morphology of roots, thus increasing the dry weight of seedlings. The effect of T. viride on seedling growth was also reflected the increasing of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigment content. Moreover, compared to the uninoculated treatments, inoculation of T. viride also enhanced Pi content in seedlings. Thus, the T. viride was a beneficial fungus for synergistic the plant Pi uptake and growth.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is one of the six key elements in plant nutrition and effectively plays a vital role in all major metabolic activities. It is an essential nutrient for plants linked to human food production. Although abundantly present in both organic and inorganic forms in soil, more than 40% of cultivated soils are commonly deficient in P concentration. Then, the P inadequacy is a challenge to a sustainable farming system to improve the food production for an increasing population. It is expected that the whole world population will rise to 9 billion by 2050 and, therefore, it is necessary at the same time for agricultural strategies broadly to expand food production up to 80% to 90% by handling the global dilemma which has affected the environment by climatic changes. Furthermore, the phosphate rock annually produced about 5 million metric tons of phosphate fertilizers per year. About 9.5 Mt of phosphorus enters human food through crops and animals such as milk, egg, meat, and fish and is then utilized, and 3.5 Mt P is physically consumed by the human population. Various new techniques and current agricultural practices are said to be improving P-deficient environments, which might help meet the food requirements of an increasing population. However, 4.4% and 3.4% of the dry biomass of wheat and chickpea, respectively, were increased under intercropping practices, which was higher than that in the monocropping system. A wide range of studies showed that green manure crops, especially legumes, improve the soil-available P content of the soil. It is noted that inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi could decrease the recommended phosphate fertilizer rate nearly 80%. Agricultural management techniques to improve soil legacy P use by crops include maintaining soil pH by liming, crop rotation, intercropping, planting cover crops, and the consumption of modern fertilizers, in addition to the use of more efficient crop varieties and inoculation with P-solubilizing microorganisms. Therefore, exploring the residual phosphorus in the soil is imperative to reduce the demand for industrial fertilizers while promoting long-term sustainability on a global scale.

Potentially migrating and residual components of biochar: Effects on phosphorus adsorption performance and storage capacity of black soil. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 336:139250.

Abstract
Biochar has great potential to increase the soil nutrient storage capacity. However, with aging, biochar gradually disintegrates and releases fractions with migration potential, resulting in unknown effects on soil nutrient regulation. Based on this problem, we used ultrasound to separate original biochar (TB) into potentially migrating biochar (DB) and residual biochar (RB). The elemental composition and pore characteristics of TB, DB and RB were analyzed. Different fractions of biochar were applied to black soil, and the kinetic model and isothermal adsorption models were used to explore the adsorption characteristics of different treatments. Then, the effects of initial pH and coexisting ions on adsorption were compared. The adsorption mechanism and potential leaching process of phosphorus in soil were investigated. The results showed that RB had higher O and H contents and was less stable than TB, while RB was more aromatic. The phosphorus adsorption capacity of different treatments was SRB (1.3318 mg g-1) > STB (1.2873 mg g-1) > SDB (1.3025 mg g-1) > SCK (1.1905 mg g-1). SRB had optimal phosphorus adsorption performance and storage capacity, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1.6741 mg g-1 for the Langmuir isotherm, and it also showed excellent applicability in a pH gradient and with coexisting ions. The main adsorption mode of phosphorus by different treatments was monolayer chemisorption, related to electrostatic repulsion and oxygen-containing functional groups. DB was less effective in inhibiting soil phosphorus migration, with the cumulative leaching of SDB reaching 8.99 mg and the percentage of phosphorus in the 0-6 cm soil layer reaching only 15.42%. Overall, the results can help elucidate potential trends in the adsorption performance and migration process of soil phosphorus by biochar, and improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of biochar.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is the second most important macronutrient for crop growth and a limiting factor in food production. Choosing the right P fertilizer formulation is important for crop production systems because P is not mobile in soils, and placing phosphate fertilizers is a major management decision. In addition, root microorganisms play an important role in helping phosphorus fertilization management by regulating soil properties and fertility through different pathways. Our study evaluated the impact of two phosphorous formulations (polyphosphates and orthophosphates) on physiological traits of wheat related to yield (photosynthetic parameters, biomass, and root morphology) and its associated microbiota. A greenhouse experiment was conducted using agricultural soil deficient in P (1.49%). Phenotyping technologies were used at the tillering, stem elongation, heading, flowering, and grain-filling stages. The evaluation of wheat physiological traits revealed highly significant differences between treated and untreated plants but not between phosphorous fertilizers. High-throughput sequencing technologies were applied to analyse the wheat rhizosphere and rhizoplane microbiota at the tillering and the grain-filling growth stages. The alpha- and beta-diversity analyses of bacterial and fungal microbiota revealed differences between fertilized and non-fertilized wheat, rhizosphere, and rhizoplane, and the tillering and grain-filling growth stages. Our study provides new information on the composition of the wheat microbiota in the rhizosphere and rhizoplane during growth stages (Z39 and Z69) under polyphosphate and orthophosphate fertilization. Hence, a deeper understanding of this interaction could provide better insights into managing microbial communities to promote beneficial plant-microbiome interactions for P uptake.

Abstract
Application of agricultural waste such as rapeseed meal (RM) is regarded as a sustainable way to improve soil phosphorus (P) availability by direct nutrient supply and stimulation of native phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) in soils. However, exploration of the in situ microbial P solubilizing function in soils remains a challenge. Here, by applying both phenotype-based single-cell Raman with D2O labeling (Raman-D2O) and genotype-based high-throughput chips targeting carbon, nitrogen and P (CNP) functional genes, the effect of RM application on microbial P solubilization in three typical farmland soils was investigated. The abundances of PSMs increased in two alkaline soils after RM application identified by single-cell Raman D2O. RM application reduced the diversity of bacterial communities and increased the abundance of a few bacteria with reported P solubilization function. Genotypic analysis indicated that RM addition generally increased the relative abundance of CNP functional genes. A correlation analysis of the abundance of active PSMs with the abundance of soil microbes or functional genes was carried out to decipher the linkage between the phenotype and genotype of PSMs. Myxococcota and C degradation genes were found to potentially contribute to the enhanced microbial P release following RM application. This work provides important new insights into the in situ function of soil PSMs. It will lead to better harnessing of agricultural waste to mobilize soil legacy P and mitigate the P crisis.

Abstract
Phosphorus recovery from water and the subsequent reuse of its products can solve both water eutrophication and phosphorus resource waste issues. However, the potential use of the final recovered products as crop phosphorus fertilizers and the transformation of phosphorus fractions in soils have rarely been analyzed. In this study, the effects of a phosphorus recovery product (w-HC/CSH/P) obtained from our previous phosphorus recovery study on pepper growth were investigated. The association between soil phosphorus fraction transformation and the microbial co-occurrence network was investigated using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that amendment with w-HC/CSH/P could promote the growth and chlorophyll content of pepper, which exhibited high phosphorus fertilizer efficiency. In addition, applying w-HC/CSH/P in soils could increase the microbial alpha-diversity during pepper cultivation and induce changes in the microbial community, leading to an increase in the relative abundance of Povalibacter, Lysobacter, and GP10 and a decrease in GP17. The proportion of Resin-P and NaHCO3-Po decreased, whereas that of NaOH-Po increased during pepper cultivation. psOTU331 (g_Latescibacteria), psOTU377 (g_Lysobacter), and psOTU461 (g_Pseudoxanthomonas) were the key microorganisms driving the transformation of phosphorus fractionation in the microbial co-occurrence network. Latescibacteria and Lysobacter were closely correlated with the transformation of NaHCO3-Po to NaOH-Po, and Pseudoxanthomonas was significantly correlated with a decrease in Resin-P. These observations highlight the potential of phosphorus recovery products as fertilizer for pepper and provide new insights into the transformation of phosphorus fractions corresponding to the microbiome in soils.

Abstract
Activated zinc biochar (ZnBC) and humic acid (HA) were used as coating agents in a soluble monoammonium phosphate (MAP) to modify phosphorus (P) use efficiency by altering adsorption/desorption kinetics between the granule region and the soil. The coated treatments MAPZnBC and MAPHA were compared with MAP through P diffusivity, kinetics, and agronomic evaluation. Eucalyptus sawdust was used as biomass for biochar synthesis, and a pre-pyrolysis treatment with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was applied. The P diffusivity was evaluated in the fertosphere zone. Adsorption and desorption potential of the ZnBC compared with control biochar (BC) was evaluated separately. Desorption kinetics of P from soil was assessed after incubation with MAPZnBC and MAPHA. The shoot dry matter yield (SDM), P uptake, and P use efficiency (PUE) were evaluated with a pot experiment in a clay Oxisol sown with maize and soybeans as successive plant trials, under glasshouse conditions. Surface area values of 940 and 305 m2 g-1 combined with adsorption capacities of 106 and 53 mg P g-1 for ZnBC and BC, respectively, confirm the increased capacity of activated biochar to adsorb P. Both MAPZnBC and MAPHA decreased P diffusivity compared to MAP after 20 days of incubation. Moreover, MAPZnBC and MAPHA presented 20% and 34% more water-soluble phosphorus recovery. MAPZnBC expressed an increase in SDM while MAPHA highlighted P uptake and PUE compared with MAP. Both kinetic studies and agronomic evaluations showed that ZnBC and HA are suitable as coatings for phosphate fertilizers in terms of increasing P efficiency in the fertosphere on high P-fixing soils.

Abstract
It is critical to understand the risk of element pollution in soils by evaluating their background levels. Phosphorus (P) content in agricultural soils needs to be assessed from agronomic and environmental standpoints. The current study intended to calculate the background levels of available and total P in soils. To achieve this goal, 50 sites without human activities were selected. Soils were sampled from the surface and subsurface of each site (100 soil samples). The available P forms in soils were extracted using the water-extractable P (WEP), calcium chloride-extractable P (CCEP), and Olsen-extractable P (OEP) methods. The first two extractants are being used to evaluate P leaching from soils, while the last one is being used as an agronomic indicator. The methods used to calculate background levels were the iterative 2-δ technique (2-δ) and the calculated distribution function (CDF). Results showed that the upper limits of background levels using 2-δ method were 1.45, 0.92, 8.12, and 424.4 mg kg-1 for WEP, CCEP, OEP, and total P, respectively. Also, the upper limits of background levels using CDF method were 1.42, 1.15, 12.09, and 447.6 mg kg-1, for WEP, CCEP, OEP, and total P, respectively. It can be concluded that using these background levels, which for the first time were calculated for P, would enable us to have an accurate examination of P excess as a result of human activities.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P), an essential macronutrient for all life on Earth, has been shown to be a vital limiting nutrient element for plant growth and yield. P deficiency is a common phenomenon in terrestrial ecosystems across the world. Chemical phosphate fertilizer has traditionally been employed to solve the problem of P deficiency in agricultural production, but its application has been limited by the non-renewability of raw materials and the adverse influence on the ecological health of the environment. Therefore, it is imperative to develop efficient, economical, environmentally friendly and highly stable alternative strategies to meet the plant P demand. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are able to improve plant productivity by increasing P nutrition. Pathways to fully and effectively use PSB to mobilize unavailable forms of soil P for plants has become a hot research topic in the fields of plant nutrition and ecology. Here, the biogeochemical P cycling in soil systems are summarized, how to make full use of soil legacy P via PSB to alleviate the global P resource shortage are reviewed. We highlight the advances in multi-omics technologies that are helpful for exploring the dynamics of nutrient turnover and the genetic potential of PSB-centered microbial communities. Furthermore, the multiple roles of PSB inoculants in sustainable agricultural practices are analyzed. Finally, we project that new ideas and techniques will be continuously infused into fundamental and applied research to achieve a more integrated understanding of the interactive mechanisms of PSB and rhizosphere microbiota/plant to maximize the efficacy of PSB as P activators.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 868:161685. [PMID: 36682543 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria play a key role in increasing plant growth as potential suppliers of soluble phosphorus and have great potential for the remediation of heavy metal-polluted soils. However, the soil and microbiological mechanisms by which phosphate-solubilizing bacteria prevent heavy metal absorption in radish have not been adequately studied. Here, the mechanisms of phosphorus solubilization, Cd and Pb immobilization, and the inhibition of heavy metal absorption by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were studied in radish through solution adsorption and pot experiments. Two phosphate-solubilizing bacteria with high Cd and Pb removal rates (46.9-97.12 %), Klebsiella sp. M2 and Kluyvera sp. M8, were isolated. The soluble phosphorus content released by strains M2 and M8 was 265-277 mg L-1, achieved by secreting oxalic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and succinic acid in an inorganic phosphorus medium containing 3 mg L-1 Cd and 5 mg L-1 Pb. Furthermore, these two functional strains induced the formation of Pb2(PO4)2, Cd(PO3)2, Fe2Pb3(PO4)2, CdS, and PbS precipitates that immobilized Cd and Pb in the solution. In general, strains M2 and M8 inhibited the absorption of Cd and Pb by radish by the following mechanisms: i) bacterial cell wall adsorption, ii) induction of Pb2(PO4)2, Cd(PO3)2, Fe2Pb3(PO4)2, CdS, and PbS precipitation in the solution/soil, iii) increases in the Ca2P and FeP contents in the radish rhizosphere, and iv) the promotion of bacterial community enrichment toward phosphorus-solubilizing and plant growth-promoting properties (Ramlibacter, Enterobacter, Bacillus, Gemmatimonas, and Lysinibacillusin) in the radish rhizosphere. These results provide bacterial resources and technical approaches to heavy metal pollution amelioration and efficient phosphorus fertilizer use in farmland.

Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11030783. [PMID: 36985356 PMCID: PMC10052640 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11030783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Soil microorganisms play an important role in maintaining natural ecological balance through active participation in carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous cycles. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are of high importance in the rhizosphere, enhancing the solubilization of inorganic phosphorus complexes into soluble forms available for plant nutrition. The investigation of this species of bacteria is of major interest in agriculture, as they can be used as biofertilizers for crops. In the present study, 28 isolates of PSB were obtained after the phosphate enrichment of soil samples from five Tunisian regions. Five PSB species were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing including Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. putida, and P. taiwanensis, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Pantoea agglomerans. Solid and liquid Pikovskaya’s (PVK) and National Botanical Research Institute’s (NBRIP) media containing insoluble tricalcium phosphate were used for the evaluation of the phosphate solubilization ability of the bacterial isolates by two methods: visual evaluation of the solubilization zone around colonies (halo) and determination of solubilized phosphates in liquid medium by the colorimetric method of the vanado-molybdate yellow. Based on the results of the halo method, the isolate of each species that showed the higher phosphate solubilization index was selected for evaluation of phosphate solubilization by the colorimetric method. In the liquid media, the bacterial isolates showed phosphate solubilization ranging from 535.70 to 618.57 µg mL−1 in the NBRIP medium, and 374.20 to 544.28 µg mL−1 in the PVK medium, with the highest values produced by P. fluorescens. The best phosphate solubilization ability and higher reduction in broth pH, which indicates higher organic acid production, were achieved in NBRIP broth for most of the PSB. Strong correlations were observed between the average capability of PSB to solubilize phosphates and both the pH and total phosphorous content in the soil. The production of the hormone indole acetic acid (IAA), which can promote plant growth, was observed for all five PSB species. Among them, P. fluorescens obtained from the forest soil of northern Tunisia showed the highest production of IAA (50.4 ± 0.9 µg mL−1).

Mitigation of arsenic toxicity in rice by the co-inoculation of arsenate reducer yeast with multifunctional arsenite oxidizing bacteria. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 320:120975. [PMID: 36584855 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120975] [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: 09/24/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to explicate the role of microbial co-inoculants for the mitigation of arsenic (As) toxicity in rice. Arsenate (AsV) reducer yeast Debaryomyces hansenii NBRI-Sh2.11 (Sh2.11) with bacterial strains of different biotransformation potential was attempted to develop microbial co-inoculants. An experiment to test their efficacy (yeast and bacterial strains) on plant growth and As uptake was conducted under a stressed condition of 20 mg kg-1 of arsenite (AsIII). A combination of Sh2.11 with an As(III)-oxidizer, Citrobacter sp. NBRI-B5.12 (B5.12), resulted in ∼90% decrease in grain As content as compared to Sh2.11 alone (∼40%). Reduced As accumulation in rice roots under co-treated condition was validated with SEM-EDS analysis. Enhanced As expulsion in the selected combination under in vitro conditions was found to be correlated with higher As content in the soil during their interaction with plants. Selected co-inoculant mediated enhanced nutrient uptake in association with better production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA) in shoot, support microbial co-inoculant mediated better biomass under stressful condition. Boosted defense response in association with enhanced glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR), activities under in vitro and in vivo conditions were observed. These results indicated that the As(III) oxidizer-B5.12 accelerated the As detoxification property of the As(V) reducer-Sh2.11. Henceforth, the results confer that the coupled reduction-oxidation process of the co-inoculant reduces the accumulation of As in rice grain. These co-inoculants can be further developed for field trials to achieve higher biomass with alleviated As toxicity in rice.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) availability and loss risk are linked to P species; however, their alternations in the soil amended with biochar-blended organic fertilizer is not well known, particularly under contrasting soil properties and land management. In this study, the variance of soil P species extracted by sequential chemical extraction (SCE) and 31P NMR techniques, as well as the degree of P saturation (DPS), were investigated throughout three paddy and three vegetable fields. These fields were amended with three different fertilizers at the same P application rate: chemical fertilizer (CF), organic fertilizer substitution (sheep manure/biogas slurry, SM/BS), and biochar-blended organic fertilizer substitution (BSM/BBS). Results showed that the BSM/BBS and SM increased the total P contents by 7.5% and 5.9% (TP) and available P contents by 30.1% and 19.2% (AP), but decreased the DPS values by 19.4% and 11.7%, compared to the CF treatment. Yet, the BS decreased the TP and AP contents but increased the DPS values across the experimental sites. In the BSM/BBS amended soils, high AP contents were due to the increased inorganic P (NaHCO3-Pi), while the increased organic P (monoester and DNA) induced low DPS values and reduced soil P loss risk. Our study highlights that biochar-blended organic fertilizer is an effective agronomic way for improving P availability and decreasing P loss risk via the alteration of soil P species.

Abstract
Pb(II) is extreme toxic to biological cells, which limits the restoration of Pb(II) by functional strains. This study examined a Pb(II)-tolerant phosphate solubilizing bacteria(PSB) Ochrobactrum sp. J023 combined with corn stover biochar to enhance the immobilization of Pb(II). The results showed that the removal rate of Pb(II) by biochar combined with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria was as high as 71.30 %. SEM-EDS showed that more disordered crystals appeared on the surface of biochar treated with bacteria. XRD analysis indicated that the mineralization products of Pb(II) in biochar combined strain system were mainly in Pb5(PO4)3OH and Pb5(PO4)3Cl. FT-IR analysis revealed that there were more phosphate groups involved in the mineralization process when biochar was added. XPS verified the formation of PbO or lead-containing precipitates in this system, and the amount of lead precipitates was larger. The mechanism of lead fixation by strain combined with biochar can be regarded that the strain regulates the microenvironment of the biochar surface, enhances the release of phosphate and promotes the generation of stable pyroxite. Moreover, biochar composition and porous structure not only provide nutrient elements for strains, but also protect and promote the metabolism of strains. Biochar adsorption also reduces the loss of available phosphorus, which helps PSB to fix Pb sustainably and effectively. This suggests that the synergistic effect of PSB-biochar can not only effectively reduce the mobility and bioavailability of Pb(II), but also increase the sustainability of remediation. Therefore, the combination of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and biochar is a promising approach to the remediation of heavy metal pollution.

Abstract
Humic acid (HA) has been widely used in agricultural production processes because it improves soil nutrients and has a growth-promoting effect on plants. Understanding the relationship between the structure and function of HA is the key to efficient utilization of HA in the field of activating soil legacy phosphorus (P) and promoting crop growth. In this work, HA was prepared using lignite as raw materials by the ball milling method. Moreover, a series of HAs with different molecular weights (<10, 10-50, and >50 kDa) were prepared through ultrafiltration membranes. The chemical composition and physical structure characteristics of the prepared HA were tested. The effects of HA with different molecular weights on activating accumulated P in calcareous soil and root promotion of Lactuca sativa were investigated. Results showed that HAs with different molecular weights have different functional group structures, molecular compositions, and micromorphologies, and the molecular weight of HA can significantly affect the activation performance on soil accumulated P. Moreover, the HA with low molecular weight more easily enhanced the seed germination and growth of Lactuca sativa than that of raw HA. It is expected that more efficient HA can be prepared in the future for the activation of accumulated P and promoting crop growth.

Abstract
Here, a novel phosphate-solubilizing bacterium (PSB), Klebsiella aerogenes Wn was applied to develop an environmental-friendly method to simultaneously stabilize Pb and Cd. The maximum dissolved phosphate was up to 701.36 mg/L by the strain Wn. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Pearson correlation analyses showed that the acetic acid produced by the strain Wn was significantly positively associated with the released phosphate. Moreover, 100% of 500 mg/L of Pb and 100 mg/L of Cd were simultaneously stabilized in the classical NBRIP medium and the major products were Pb5(PO4)3Cl, Ca7.7Cd0.8(PO4)8(H2O)2.4 and CdS, respectively. In addition, the bacterial genome and transcriptome analyses showed that the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), pyruvate metabolism pathway, thiamine metabolic pathway, sulfate reduction and ammonium bio-transformation were coupled to promote releasing insoluble phosphate and stabilizing Pb and Cd. In the metabolism networks, the critical genes of gcd, aceE, thiE, thiS and cysH, etc. were significantly up-regulated. Our results are beneficial to deeper understand the molecular mechanisms of releasing insoluble inorganic phosphate by PSBs and develop a technology prototype to simultaneously stabilize Pb and Cd using the PSBs.
