[PMID: 38231250 PMCID: PMC10900898 DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00665-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the change in the microbiome of tomato rhizosphere soils after the invasion of Ralstonia solanacearum and analyzed the correlation between microbes and soil physicochemical properties. Diversity analyses of the bacteria in healthy and diseased rhizosphere soil samples (HRS and DRS) revealed that HRS had a higher species diversity and were compositionally different from DRS (P ≤ 0.05). Substantial differences in the relative abundance of Actinobacteria (37.52% vs 28.96%, P ≤ 0.05) and Proteobacteria (29.20% vs 35.59%, P ≤ 0.05) were identified in HRS and DRS, respectively. Taxonomic composition analysis showed ten differentially abundant genera, and seven of them (Gaiella, Roseisolibacter, Solirubrobacter, Kribbella, Acidibacter, Actinomarinicola, and Marmoricola) are more abundant in HRS. Soil pH and enzyme activities were negatively correlated with the abundance of R. solanacearum. The contents of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), alkaline nitrogen (alkaline N), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), NO3-N(NN), NH4+-N (AN), and organic matter (OM) were all significantly increased in DRS. The composition and richness of protozoa in the samples show significant differences. Cephalobus, Acrobeles, Heteromita, norank_Tylenchida, and Rotylenchulus were enriched in DRS. Microbial interaction networks revealed that the HRS networks were more complex than the DRS networks. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that healthy soil has a more complex microbial community structure and higher enzyme activity, and the invasion of R. solanacearum damages the soil microbial system.IMPORTANCEHow does the invasion of Ralstonia solanacearum affect tomato rhizosphere bacteria and protozoa? Which microbial changes can affect the growth of R. solanacearum? To date, most research studies focus on bacteria, with little research on protozoa, and even less on the synergistic effects between protozoa and bacteria. Here, we analyzed the correlation between tomato rhizosphere bacterial and protozoan communities and soil physicochemical properties during the invasion of R. solanacearum. We found that the diversity and abundance of rhizosphere microorganisms in healthy rhizosphere soil samples (HRS) were significantly higher than those in diseased rhizosphere soil samples (DRS), and there were significant changes in soil pH and enzyme activity. Overall, in this study, the analysis of microbial changes during the invasion of R. solanacearum provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of bacterial wilt.

Abstract
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg, commonly known as Sanyeqing (SYQ), is an important traditional Chinese medicine. The content of bioactive constituents varies in different cultivars of SYQ. In the plant growth related researches, rhizosphere microbiome has gained significant attention. However, the role of bacterial communities in the accumulation of metabolites in plants have not been investigated. Herein, the composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere soils and the metabolites profile of different SYQ cultivars' roots were analyzed. It was found that the composition of microbial communities varied in the rhizosphere soils of different SYQ cultivars. The high abundance of Actinomadura, Streptomyces and other bacteria was found to be associated with the metabolites profile of SYQ roots. The findings suggest that the upregulation of rutin and hesperetin may contribute to the high bioactive constituent in SYQ roots. These results provide better understanding of the metabolite accumulation pattern in SYQ, and also provide a solution for enhancing the quality of SYQ by application of suitable microbial consortia.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of degraded soil puts pressure on agricultural crop yield while also increasing the likelihood of food scarcity in the near future at the global level. The degraded soil does not suit plants growth owing to the alteration in biogeochemical cycles of nutrients, soil microbial diversity, soil organic matter, and increasing concentration of heavy metals and organic chemicals. Therefore, it is imperative that a solution should be found for such emerging issues in order to establish a sustainable future. In this context, the importance of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for their ability to reduce plant stress has been recognized. A direct and indirect mechanism in plant growth promotion is facilitated by PGPR via phytostimulation, biofertilizers, and biocontrol activities. However, plant stress mediated by deteriorated soil at the field level is not entirely addressed by the implementation of PGPR at the field level. Thus, emerging methods such as CRISPR and nanotechnological approaches along with PGPR could manage degraded soil effectively. In the pursuit of the critical gaps in this respect, the present review discusses the recent advancement in PGPR action when used along with nanomaterials and CRISPR, impacting plant growth under degraded soil, thereby opening a new horizon for researchers in this field to mitigate the challenges of degraded soil.

Abstract
As one of the major abiotic stresses, salinity can affect crop growth and plant productivity worldwide. The inoculation of rhizosphere or endophytic microorganisms can enhance plant tolerance to salt stresses, but the potential mechanism is not clear. In this study, Trichoderma harzianum ST02 was applied on sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in a field trial to investigate the effects on microbiome community and physiochemical properties in the rhizosphere soil. Compared with the non-inoculated control, Trichoderma inoculation significantly increased the stem yield, plant height, stem diameter, and total sugar content in stem by 35.52%, 32.68%, 32.09%, and 36.82%, respectively. In addition, Trichoderma inoculation improved the nutrient availability (e.g., N, P, and K) and organic matter in the rhizosphere soil and changed the bacterial community structure and function in both bulk and rhizosphere soil by particularly increasing the relative abundance of Actinobacter and N-cycling genes (nifH, archaeal and bacterial amoA). We proposed that T. harzianum ST02 could promote sweet sorghum growth under saline conditions by regulating available nutrients and the bacterial community in the rhizosphere soil.

Abstract
Introduction The continuous cropping of crops can result in the deterioration of the soil environment and cause a decline in plant health and yield, which complicates agricultural production. However, the effects of continuous melon cropping on rhizospheric microbial communities remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, high-throughput absolute quantification 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was employed to analyze the bacterial community structure of greenhouse rhizosphere soil from Jiashi muskmelon replanted for 0, 1, 2, and 3 years (CK, 1a, 2a, and 3a, respectively). Results The results showed that long- term continuous cropping caused significant changes in soil physicochemical properties. The bacterial absolute abundances increased, but the bacterial community richness and diversity were significantly lost (p < 0.05). The composition of bacterial community was more similar after 2 and 3 years of continuous cropping. The longer the continuous cropping years were, the greater the shift in the bacterial diversity and abundance. Analysis of potential functional components revealed that different bacterial groups were enriched in different continuous cropping years. The significant reduction of the taxa associated with nitrate reduction may be responsible for the loss of soil nitrogen in continuous cropping soil. Discussion In summary, continuous cropping had a significant impact on the bacterial community structure of Jiashi muskmelon rhizospheric soil, and these results will provide a reference for soil management and scientific fertilization of melon and other crops under a continuous cropping regime.

Abstract
Tobacco bacterial wilt has seriously affected tobacco production. Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) induced tobacco bacterial wilt resistant mutants are important for the control of tobacco bacterial wilt. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to study the rhizosphere bacterial community assemblages of bacterial wilt resistant mutant tobacco rhizosphere soil (namely KS), bacterial wilt susceptible tobacco rhizosphere soil (namely GS) and bulk soil (namely BS) in Xuancheng, Huanxi, Yibin and Luzhou. Alpha analysis showed that the bacterial community diversity and richness of KS and GS in the four regions were not significantly different. However, analysis of intergroup variation in the top 15 bacterial communities in terms of abundance showed that the bacterial communities of KS and GS were significantly different from BS, respectively. In addition, pH, alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen (AN) and soil organic carbon (SOC) were positively correlated with the bacterial community of KS and negatively correlated with GS in the other three regions except Huanxi. Network analysis showed that the three soils in the four regions did not show a consistent pattern of network complexity. PICRUSt functional prediction analysis showed that the COG functions were similar in all samples. All colonies were involved in RNA processing and modification, chromatin structure and dynamics, etc. In conclusion, our experiments showed that rhizosphere bacterial communities of tobacco in different regions have different compositional patterns, which are strongly related to soil factors.

Moisture Controls the Suppression of Panax notoginseng Root Rot Disease by Indigenous Bacterial Communities. mSystems 2022; 7:e0041822.

Abstract
Harnessing indigenous soil microbial suppression is an emerging strategy for managing soilborne plant diseases. Soil moisture is a vital factor in soil microbiomes, but its role in the regulation of microbial suppression is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the correlation of root rot disease of Panax notoginseng with rhizosphere microbial communities mediated by soil moisture gradients from 55% to 100% field capacity (FC); then, we captured the disease-suppressive and disease-inductive microbiomes and validated their functions by a culture experiment with synthetic microbiotas containing keystone species. We found that proper soil moisture at 75% to 95% FC could maintain a disease-suppressive microbiome to alleviate root rot disease. However, extremely low or high soil moistures (>95% FC or <75% FC) could aggravate root rot disease by depleting the disease-suppressive microbiome while enriching the disease-inductive microbiome. Both the low-soil-moisture-enriched pathogen Monographella cucumerina and the high-soil-moisture-enriched pathogen Ilyonectria destructans could synergize with different disease-inductive microbiomes to aggravate disease. Metagenomic data confirmed that low- and high-moisture conditions suppressed antibiotic biosynthesis genes but enriched pathogenicity-related genes, resulting in a change in the soil state from disease suppressive to inductive. This study highlights the importance of soil moisture when indigenous microbial suppression is harnessed for disease control. IMPORTANCE Soilborne diseases pose a major problem in high-intensity agricultural systems due to the imbalance of microbial communities in soil, resulting in the buildup of soilborne pathogens. Harnessing indigenous soil microbial suppression is an emerging strategy for overcoming soilborne plant diseases. In this study, we showed that soil moisture is a key factor in balancing microbiome effects on root rot disease. Proper soil moisture management represent an effective approach to maintain microbial disease resistance by enriching disease-suppressive microbiomes. Conversely, moisture stresses may enrich for a disease-inductive microbiome and aid accumulation of host-specific soilborne pathogens threatening crop production. This work could provide a new strategy for sustainable control of soilborne diseases by enriching the indigenous disease-suppressive microbiome through soil moisture management.

Abstract
The production of ginseng, an important Chinese medicine crop, has been increasingly challenged by soil degradation and pathogenic disease under continuous cropping in Northeast China. In a field experiment, an Alfisol garden continuously cropped with Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) was treated with soil amendment at 20 t ha-1 with maize (MB) and wood (WB) biochar, respectively, compared to conventional manure compost (MC). Two years after the amendment, the rooted topsoil and ginseng plants were sampled. The changes in soil fertility and health, particularly in the soil microbial community and root disease incidence, and in ginseng growth and quality were portrayed using soil physico-chemical assays, biochemical assays of extracellular enzyme activities and gene sequencing assays as well as ginsenoside assays. Topsoil fertility was improved by 23% and 39%, ginseng root biomass increased by 25% and 27%, and root quality improved by 6% and 18% with WB and MB, respectively, compared to MC. In the ginseng rhizosphere, fungal abundance increased by 96% and 384%, with a significant and insignificant increase in bacterial abundance, respectively, under WB and MB. Specifically, the abundance of Fusarium spp. was significantly reduced by 19-35%, while that of Burkholderia spp. increased by folds under biochar amendments over MC. Relevantly, there was a significant decrease in the abundance proportion of pathotrophic fungi but a great increase in that of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, along with an enhanced microbial community network complexity, especially fungal community complexity, under biochar amendments. Thus, biochar, particularly from maize residue, could promote ginseng quality production while enhancing soil health and ecological services, including carbon sequestration, in continuously cropped fields.

Abstract
Continuous cropping obstacles have increasingly become an important phenomenon affecting crop yield and quality. Its harm includes the deterioration of soil basic physical and chemical properties, changes of soil microbial community structure, accumulation of autotoxins, weakness of plant growth, and aggravation of diseases and pests. In this review, the evolutionary trend of soil microbial structure driven by continuous cropping was generalized, while drivers of these changes summed up as destruction of soil microbial living environment and competition within the community. We introduced a microorganism proliferation and working model with three basics and a vector, and four corresponding effective measures to reshape the structure were comprehensively expounded. According to the model, we also put forward three optimization strategies of the existing measures. In which, synthetic microbiology provides a new solution for improving soil community structure. Meanwhile, to ensure the survival and reproduction of soil microorganisms, it is necessary to consider their living space and carbon sources in soil fully. This review provided a comprehensive perspective for understanding the evolutionary trend of the soil microbial community under continuous cropping conditions and a summary of reshaping measures and their optimization direction.

Biosolid-Amended Soil Enhances Defense Responses in Tomato Based on Metagenomic Profile and Expression of Pathogenesis-Related Genes. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 10:2789. [PMID: 34961260 PMCID: PMC8709368 DOI: 10.3390/plants10122789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Biosolid application is an effective strategy, alternative to synthetic chemicals, for enhancing plant growth and performance and improving soil properties. In previous research, biosolid application has shown promising results with respect to tomato resistance against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (Forl). Herein, we aimed at elucidating the effect of biosolid application on the plant-microbiome response mechanisms for tomato resistance against Forl at a molecular level. More specifically, plant-microbiome interactions in the presence of biosolid application and the biocontrol mechanism against Forl in tomato were investigated. We examined whether biosolids application in vitro could act as an inhibitor of growth and sporulation of Forl. The effect of biosolid application on the biocontrol of Forl was investigated based on the enhanced plant resistance, measured as expression of pathogen-response genes, and pathogen suppression in the context of soil microbiome diversity, abundance, and predicted functions. The expression of the pathogen-response genes was variably induced in tomato plants in different time points between 12 and 72 h post inoculation in the biosolid-enriched treatments, in the presence or absence of pathogens, indicating activation of defense responses in the plant. This further suggests that biosolid application resulted in a successful priming of tomato plants inducing resistance mechanisms against Forl. Our results have also demonstrated that biosolid application alters microbial diversity and the predicted soil functioning, along with the relative abundance of specific phyla and classes, as a proxy for disease suppression. Overall, the use of biosolid as a sustainable soil amendment had positive effects not only on plant health and protection, but also on growth of non-pathogenic antagonistic microorganisms against Forl in the tomato rhizosphere and thus, on plant-soil microbiome interactions, toward biocontrol of Forl.

Abstract
An increasing need for a more sustainable agriculturally-productive system is required in order to preserve soil fertility and reduce soil biodiversity loss. Microbial biostimulants are innovative technologies able to ensure agricultural yield with high nutritional values, overcoming the negative effects derived from environmental changes. The aim of this review was to provide an overview on the research related to plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) used alone, in consortium, or in combination with organic matrices such as plant biostimulants (PBs). Moreover, the effectiveness and the role of microbial biostimulants as a biological tool to improve fruit quality and limit soil degradation is discussed. Finally, the increased use of these products requires the achievement of an accurate selection of beneficial microorganisms and consortia, and the ability to prepare for future agriculture challenges. Hence, the implementation of the microorganism positive list provided by EU (2019/1009), is desirable.

Soil bacterial communities and their associated functions for forest restoration on a limestone mine in northern Thailand. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0248806.

Abstract
Opencast mining removes topsoil and associated bacterial communities that play crucial roles in soil ecosystem functioning. Understanding the community composition and functioning of these organisms may lead to improve mine-rehabilitation practices. We used a culture-dependent method, combined with Illumina sequencing, to compare the taxonomic richness and composition of living bacterial communities in opencast mine substrates and young mine-rehabilitation plots, with those of soil in adjacent remnant forest at a limestone mine in northern Thailand. We further investigated the effects of soil physico-chemical factors and ground-flora cover on the same. Although, loosened subsoil, brought in to initiate rehabilitation, improved water retention and facilitated plant re-establishment, it did not increase the population density of living microbes substantially within 9 months. Planted trees and sparse ground flora in young rehabilitation plots had not ameliorated the micro-habitat enough to change the taxonomic composition of the soil bacteria compared with non-rehabilitated mine sites. Viable microbes were significantly more abundant in forest soil than in mine substrates. The living bacterial community composition differed significantly, between the forest plots and both the mine and rehabilitation plots. Proteobacteria dominated in forest soil, whereas Firmicutes dominated in samples from both mine and rehabilitation plots. Although, several bacterial taxa could survive in the mine substrate, soil ecosystem functions were greatly reduced. Bacteria, capable of chitinolysis, aromatic compound degradation, ammonification and nitrate reduction were all absent or rare in the mine substrate. Functional redundancy of the bacterial communities in both mine substrate and young mine-rehabilitation soil was substantially reduced, compared with that of forest soil. Promoting the recovery of microbial biomass and functional diversity, early during mine rehabilitation, is recommended, to accelerate soil ecosystem restoration and support vegetation recovery. Moreover, if inoculation is included in mine rehabilitation programs, the genera: Bacillus, Streptomyces and Arthrobacter are likely to be of particular interest, since these genera can be cultivated easily and this study showed that they can survive under the extreme conditions that prevail on opencast mines.

Abstract
Fungal decomposition of soil organic matter depends on soil nitrogen (N) availability. This ecosystem process is being jeopardized by changes in N inputs that have resulted from a tripling of atmospheric N deposition in the last century. Soil fungi are impacted by atmospheric N deposition due to higher N availability, as soils are acidified, or as micronutrients become increasingly limiting. Fungal communities that persist with chronic N deposition may be enriched with traits that enable them to tolerate environmental stress, which may trade-off with traits enabling organic matter decomposition. We hypothesized that fungal communities would respond to N deposition by shifting community composition and functional gene abundances toward those that tolerate stress but are weak decomposers. We sampled soils at seven eastern US hardwood forests where ambient N deposition varied from 3.2 to 12.6 kg N ha-1 year-1 , five of which also have experimental plots where atmospheric N deposition was simulated through fertilizer application treatments (25-50 kg N ha-1 year-1 ). Fungal community and functional responses to fertilizer varied across the ambient N deposition gradient. Fungal biomass and richness increased with simulated N deposition at sites with low ambient deposition and decreased at sites with high ambient deposition. Fungal functional genes involved in hydrolysis of organic matter increased with ambient N deposition while genes involved in oxidation of organic matter decreased. One of four genes involved in generalized abiotic stress tolerance increased with ambient N deposition. In summary, we found that the divergent response to simulated N deposition depended on ambient N deposition levels. Fungal biomass, richness, and oxidative enzyme potential were reduced by N deposition where ambient N deposition was high suggesting fungal communities were pushed beyond an environmental stress threshold. Fungal community structure and function responses to N enrichment depended on ambient N deposition at a regional scale.

Abstract
The continuous cropping of plants can result in the disruption of the soil microbial community and caused significant declines in yields. However, there are few reports on the effects of continuous cropping of sugarcane on the microbial community structure and functional pathway. In the current study, we analyzed the structural and functional changes of microbial community structure in the rhizospheric soil of sugarcane in different continuous cropping years using Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing and metagenomics analysis. We collected rhizosphere soils from fields of no continuous cropping history (NCC), 10 years of continuous cropping (CC10), and 30 years of continuous cropping (CC30) periods in the Fujian province. The results demonstrated that continuous sugarcane cropping resulted in significant changes in the physicochemical properties of soil and the composition of soil bacterial and fungal communities. With the continuous cropping, the crop yield dramatically declined from NCC to CC30. Besides, the redundancy analysis (RDA) of the dominant bacterial and fungal phyla and soil physicochemical properties revealed that the structures of the bacterial and fungal communities were mainly driven by pH and TS. Analysis of potential functional pathways during the continuous cropping suggests that different KEGG pathways were enriched in different continuous cropping periods. The significant reduction of bacteria associated with rhizospheric soil nitrogen and sulfur cycling functions and enrichment of pathogenic bacteria may be responsible for the reduction of effective nitrogen and total sulfur content in rhizospheric soil of continuous sugarcane as well as the reduction of sugarcane yield and sugar content. Additionally, genes related to nitrogen and sulfur cycling were identified in our study, and the decreased abundance of nitrogen translocation genes and AprAB and DsrAB in the dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway could be the cause of declined biomass. The findings of this study may provide a theoretical basis for uncovering the mechanism of obstacles in continuous sugarcane cropping and provide better guidance for sustainable development of the sugarcane.

Abstract
Soil microorganism has a profound influence on planting growth and disease suppression. However, the difference in microbial community structure between suppressive and root rot-conducive soil and the mechanism of controlling soil-borne diseases by microorganisms in suppressive soil were not clear. To provide a theoretical foundation for prevention and control of root rot, this paper investigated the change of community structure in rhizosphere soil between suppressive and root rot-conducive tobacco fields. Soil samples were collected during before transplanting, vigorous growing period, and mature period of the tobacco, and bacteria and fungi were analyzed using 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene sequencing, respectively. Results showed that bacteria were more sensitive to the change between suppressive and root rot-conducive soil, and fungi were more sensitive to the change of different tobacco growth periods. Compared with conducive soil, tobacco suppressive soil can resist the invasion of pathogens, especially fungi, by regulating soil microbial community structure, and the potential pathogen Boeremia was always lower. Fusarium, the root rot pathogen, decreased rapidly in the mature period in suppressive soil. Moreover, norank_o_Gaiellales and unclassified_f_Trichocomaceae had a critical role in suppressive soil in the process of inhibiting root rot, which was obvious in the mature stage. Overall, the results indicated that the composition and structure of the microbial community significantly altered between suppressive and conducive soil along with the growth of tobacco, and suppressive soil could inhibit the occurrence of soil-borne diseases by boosting beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the potential pathogens.

Abstract
This review pays attention to the newest insights on the soil microbiome in plant disease-suppressive soil (DSS) for sustainable plant health management from the perspective of a circular economy that provides beneficial microbiota by recycling agro-wastes into the soil. In order to increase suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens, the main goal of this paper is to critically discuss and compare the potential use of reshaped soil microbiomes by assembling different agricultural practices such as crop selection; land use and conservative agriculture; crop rotation, diversification, intercropping and cover cropping; compost and chitosan application; and soil pre-fumigation combined with organic amendments and bio-organic fertilizers. This review is seen mostly as a comprehensive understanding of the main findings regarding DSS, starting from the oldest concepts to the newest challenges, based on the assumption that sustainability for soil quality and plant health is increasingly viable and supported by microbiome-assisted strategies based on the next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods that characterize in depth the soil bacterial and fungal communities. This approach, together with the virtuous reuse of agro-wastes to produce in situ green composts and organic bio-fertilizers, is the best way to design new sustainable cropping systems in a circular economy system. The current knowledge on soil-borne pathogens and soil microbiota is summarized. How microbiota determine soil suppression and what NGS strategies are available to understand soil microbiomes in DSS are presented. Disturbance of soil microbiota based on combined agricultural practices is deeply considered. Sustainable soil microbiome management by recycling in situ agro-wastes is presented. Afterwards, how the resulting new insights can drive the progress in sustainable microbiome-based disease management is discussed.

Effect of Different Rates of Nitrogen Fertilization on Crop Yield, Soil Properties and Leaf Physiological Attributes in Banana Under Subtropical Regions of China.

Abstract
Excessive nitrogen (N) application is widespread in Southern China. The effects of N fertilization on soil properties and crop physiology are poorly understood in tropical red loam soil. We conducted a field experiment to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization rates on physiological attributes (chlorophyll, plant metabolic enzymes, soluble matters) on banana leaves, soil properties (soil enzymes, soil organic matter (SOM), soil available nutrients) as well as banana crop yield in a subtropical region of southern China. The N rates tested were 0 (N0), 145 (N145), 248 (N248), 352 (N352), 414 (NFT), and 455 (N455) g N per plant. The correlations among soil factors, leaf physiological factors and crop yield were evaluated. The results indiated that the high rates of N fertilization (NFT and N455) significantly decreased soil available potassium (K) content, available phosphorus (P) content, glutamine synthetase (GS) activity, and soluble protein and sugar contents compared with lower N rates. The N352 treatment had the highest crop yields compared with higher N rates treatments, followed by the N455 treatment. However, there were no significant differences in crop yields among N fertilization treatments. Factor analysis showed that the N352 treatment had the highest integrated score for soil and leaf physiological factors among all treatments. Moreover, the N352 treatment was the most effective in improving carbon and nitrogen metabolism in banana. Crop yield was significantly and positively linearly correlated with the integrated score (r = 0.823, p < 0.05). Path analysis revealed that invertase, SOM and sucrose synthase (SS) had a strong positive effect on banana yield. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) suggested that available K, invertase, acid phosphatase and available P were the most important factors impacting leaf physiological attributes. Cluster analysis demonstrated distinct differences in N application treatment related to variations in soil and leaf factors. This study suggested that excessive N fertilization had a negative effect on soil fertility, crop physiology and yield. The lower N rates were more effective in improving crop yield than higher rates of N fertilization. The N rate of 352 g N per plant (N352) was recommended to reduce excess N input while maintaining the higher yield for local farmers' banana planting.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:37650-37659. [PMID: 32608006 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-09915-6] [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: 02/14/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
For the purpose of enhancing the removal rate of nitrogen (N) and organic matters, intermittent aeration and carbon source were used in filled-and-drained vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs). The results showed that the best removal of COD (74.16%), NH4+-N (93.56%), TN (86.88%), and NO3--N (79.65%) was achieved in VFCW1 (aerated with carbon source system). Illumina MiSeq300 high-throughput sequencing showed that carbon source aerated system increases the diversity and richness of the microbial community. The copy numbers of nitrification functional genes (nxrA, amoA), denitrification functional genes (nirS, nirK, nosZ), and anammox functional gene (anammox 16S rRNA) displayed various changes when applied different aeration modes and additional carbon source to each system. An increase of the DO concentration and carbon source facilitated the absolute abundance of microbial nitrification and denitrification functional genes, respectively. All in all, these results demonstrate that carbon source combined with intermittent aeration is valid to improve the pollutant treatment performance in these systems.

Abstract
The continuous cropping (CC) of major agricultural, horticultural, and industrial crops is an established practice worldwide, though it has significant soil health-related concerns. However, a combined review of the effects of CC on soil health indicators, in particular omics ones, remains missing. The CC may negatively impact multiple biotic and abiotic indicators of soil health, fertility, and crop yield. It could potentially alter the soil biotic indicators, which include but are not limited to the composition, abundance, diversity, and functioning of soil micro- and macro-organisms, microbial networks, enzyme activities, and soil food web interactions. Moreover, it could also alter various soil abiotic (physicochemical) properties. For instance, it could increase the accumulation of toxic metabolites, salts, and acids, reduce soil aggregation and alter the composition of soil aggregate-size classes, decrease mineralization, soil organic matter, active carbon, and nutrient contents. All these alterations could accelerate soil degradation. Meanwhile, there is still a great need to develop quantitative ranges in soil health indicators to mechanistically predict the impact of CC on soil health and crop yield gaps. Following ecological principles, we strongly highlight the significance of inter-, mixture-, and rotation-cropping with cover crops to sustain soil health and agricultural production.

Abstract
In order to define the diversity and composition of the microbial communities colonizing of the soil microbiome of the Jinsha earthen relic, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to identify and characterize the microbiota in 22 samples collected from the Jinsha earthen relic in China during 2017 and 2018. We compared the taxonomy of the microbial communities from samples taken at different times and different sites. Our results showed that the identity of the dominant bacterial phyla differed among the samples. Proteobacteria (23–86.2%) were the predominant bacterial phylum in all samples taken from site A in both 2017 and 2018. However, Actinobacteria (21–92.3%) were the most popular bacterial phylum in samples from sites B and C in 2017 and 2018. Ascomycota were identified as the only fungal phyla in samples in 2017. However, the group varied drastically in relative abundance between 2017 and 2018. Functional analysis of the soil bacterial community suggested that abundant members of the microbiota may be associated with metabolism and the specific environment. This report was the first high-throughput sequencing study of the soil of the Jinsha earthen relic microbiome. Since soil microbiota can damage soil and archeological structures, comprehensive analyses of the microbiomes at archeological sites may contribute to the understand of the influence of microorganisms on the degradation of soil, as well as to the identification of potentially beneficial or undesirable members of these microbial communities in archeological sites. The study will be helpful to provide effective data and guidance for the prevention and control of microbial corrosion of the Jinsha earthen relic.

New Soil, Old Plants, and Ubiquitous Microbes: Evaluating the Potential of Incipient Basaltic Soil to Support Native Plant Growth and Influence Belowground Soil Microbial Community Composition. SUSTAINABILITY 2020.

Abstract
The plant–microbe–soil nexus is critical in maintaining biogeochemical balance of the biosphere. However, soil loss and land degradation are occurring at alarmingly high rates, with soil loss exceeding soil formation rates. This necessitates evaluating marginal soils for their capacity to support and sustain plant growth. In a greenhouse study, we evaluated the capacity of marginal incipient basaltic parent material to support native plant growth and the associated variation in soil microbial community dynamics. Three plant species, native to the Southwestern Arizona-Sonora region, were tested with three soil treatments, including basaltic parent material, parent material amended with 20% compost, and potting soil. The parent material with and without compost supported 15%, 40%, and 70% germination of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ‘Tarahumara Norteño’), Mesquite (Prosopis pubescens Benth), and Panic Grass (Panicum Sonorum Beal), respectively, though germination was lower than in the potting soil. Plant growth was also sustained over the 30 day period, with plants in parent material (with and without amendment) reaching 50% height compared to those in the potting soil. A 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing approach showed Proteobacteria to be the most abundant phyla in both parent material and potting soil, followed by Actinobacteria. The potting soil showed Gammaproteobacteria (19.6%) to be the second most abundant class, but its abundance was reduced in the soil + plants treatment (5.6%–9.6%). Within the basalt soil type, Alphaproteobacteria (42.7%) and Actinobacteria (16.3%) had a higher abundance in the evaluated bean plant species. Microbial community composition had strong correlations with soil characteristics, but not plant attributes within a given soil material. Predictive functional potential capacity of the communities revealed chemoheterotrophy as the most abundant metabolism within the parent material, while photoheterotrophy and anoxygenic photoautotrophy were prevalent in the potting soil. These results show that marginal incipient basaltic soil, both with and without compost amendments, can support native plant species growth, and non-linear associations may exist between plant–marginal soil–microbial interactions.

Abstract
Biochar and its by-product, wood vinegar, have attracted extensive attention owing to their great potentials in improving degraded soil, which is a global concern because of the threats to soil productivity and food security. However, the effect of biochar or wood vinegar on blueberry production is unknown. Therefore, a field trial was conducted to investigate the effects of individual and co-application of biochar (BC450) and wood vinegar (WV450) derived from blended wood waste on the blueberry tree (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) growth, fruit yield, appearance, and nutritional quality as well as the soil properties and nutrient availability. Regardless of individual or co-application, all the amendments had little effect on tree growth. Although BC450 and WV450 increased the fruit yield, the differences between the amended treatments were non-significant. Both the amendments had little effect on the apparent fruit quality, but improved the nutritional quality has been improved (e.g., increased vitamin C and decreased titratable acidity). Additionally, the individual or co-application of BC450 and WV450 had little effect on soil properties (except for soil organic matter), but increased the soil nutrient availability (e.g., NH4+-N, NO3⁻-N, and Mg). The enhancement in the nutritional quality of the blueberry fruit can be mainly attributed to the increased nutrient availability. This is the first preliminary study that demonstrates that the individual or co-application of biochar and wood vinegar can be a potential strategy for reclaiming degraded soil and enhancing blueberry production.

Abstract
Negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF) frequently cause replant failure in agricultural ecosystems, which has been restricting the sustainable development of agriculture. Biochar application has appealing effects on soil improvement and potential capacity to affect NPSF, but the process is poorly understood. Here, our study demonstrated that biochar amendment can effectively alleviate the NPSF and this biochar effect is strongly linked to soil microorganism in a sanqi (Panax notoginseng) production system. High-throughput sequencing showed that the bacterial and fungal communities were altered with biochar amendment, and bacterial community is more sensitive to biochar amendment than the fungal community. Biochar amendment significantly increased the soil bacterial diversity, but the fungal diversity was not significantly different between biochar-amended and non-amended soils. Moreover, we found that biochar amendment significantly increased the soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, available phosphorus, available potassium, and C/N ratio. The correlation analysis showed that these increased soil chemical variables have a significantly positive correlation with the bacterial diversity. Further analysis of the soil microbial composition demonstrated that biochar soil amendment enriched the beneficial bacterium Bacillus and Lysobacter but suppressed pathogens Fusarium and Ilyonectria. In addition, we verified that biochar had no direct effect on the pathogen Fusarium solani, but can directly enrich biocontrol bacterium Bacillus subtilis. In short, biochar application can mitigate NPSF is mostly due to the fact that biochar soil amendment modified the soil microbiome, especially inhibited pathogens by enriching beneficial bacterium with antagonistic activity against pathogen.

Abstract
Bacteria of the genusGlutamicibacterare considered ubiquitous because they can be found in soil, water and air. They have already been isolated from different habitats, including different types of soil, clinical samples, cheese and plants. Glutamicibacter creatinolyticus is a Gram-positive bacterium important to various biotechnological processes, however, as a pathogen it is associated to urinary tract infections and bacteremia. Recently,Glutamicibacter creatinolyticusLGCM 259 was isolated from a mare, which displayed several diffuse subcutaneous nodules with heavy vascularization. In this study, sequencing, genomic analysis ofG. creatinolyticusLGCM 259 and comparative analyseswere performedamong 4representatives of different members of genusfromdifferent habitats, available in the NCBI database. The LGCM 259 strain's genome carries important factors of bacterial virulence that are essential in cell viability, virulence, and pathogenicity. Genomic islands were predicted for 4 members of genusGlutamicibacter,showing ahigh number of GEIs,which may reflect a high interspecific diversity and a possible adaptive mechanism responsible for the survival of each species in its specific niche. Furthermore,G. creatinolyticusLGCM 259 sharessyntenicregions, albeit with a considerable loss of genes, in relation to the other species. In addition,G. creatinolyticusLGCM 259 presentsresistancegenes to 6 differentclasses ofantibiotics and heavy metals, such as: copper, arsenic, chromium and cobalt-zinc-cadmium.Comparative genomicsanalysescouldcontribute to the identification of mobile genetic elements particular to the speciesG. creatinolyticuscompared to other members of genus. The presence of specific regions inG. creatinolyticuscould be indicative of their rolesin host adaptation, virulence, and the characterization ofastrain that affects animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apple replant disease (ARD) is a syndrome that occurs in areas where apple plants or closely related species have been previously cultivated. Even though ARD is a well-known phenomenon, which has been observed in different regions worldwide and occurs independent of the soil type, its causes still remain unclear. RESULTS As expected, the biomass of plants grown in replant soil was significantly lower compared to those grown in control (virgin) soil. A shotgun metagenome analysis showed a clear differentiation between the rhizosphere and bulk soil compartments independent from the soil used. However, significant differences associated with apple replant disease were only observed in the rhizosphere compartment, for which we detected changes in the abundance of major bacterial genera. Interestingly, reads assigned to Actinobacteria were significantly reduced in relative abundance in rhizosphere samples of the soil affected by replant disease. Even though reads assigned to pathogenic fungi were detected, their relative abundance was low and did not differ significantly between the two different soils. Differences in microbiome structure also resulted in shifts in functional pattern. We observed an increase in genes related to stress sensing in the rhizosphere of soils affected by replant disease, whereas genes linked to nutrient sensing and uptake dominated in control soils. Moreover, we observed a lower abundance of genes coding for enzymes which trigger the degradation of aromatic compounds in rhizosphere of soils affected by replant disease, which is probably connected with higher concentration of phenolic compounds, generally associated with disease progression. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows, for the first time, how apple replanting affects soil functioning by altering the soil microbiome. Particularly, the decrease in the abundance of genes which code for enzymes catalyzing the degradation of aromatic compounds, observed in the rhizosphere of plants grown in soil affected by apple replant disease, is of interest. Apple rootstocks are known to synthetize many phenolic compounds, including defense related phytoalexins, which have been considered for long to be connected with the emergence of replant disease. The knowledge gained in this study might help to develop targeted strategies to overcome or at least reduce the effects of ARD symptoms.

Abstract
Bacterial wilt disease is a devastating disease of crops, which leads to huge economic loss worldwide. It is hypothesized that the occurrence of bacterial wilt may be related to changes in soil chemical properties and microbial interactions. In this study, we compared the soil chemical properties and microbial network structures of a healthy soil (HS) and a bacterial wilt-susceptible soil (BWS). The contents of available nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus and the soil pH in the BWS were significantly lower than those in the HS. BWS showed nutrient deficiency and acidification in comparison with the HS. The structure and composition of the BWS network were quite different from those of the HS network. The BWS network had fewer modules and edges and lower connectivity than the HS network. The HS network contained more interacting species, more key microorganisms, and better high-order organization and thus was more complex and stable than the BWS network. Most nodes and module memberships were unshared by the two networks, while the ones that were shared showed different topological roles. Some generalists in the HS network became specialists in the BWS network, indicating that the topological roles of microbes were changed and key microorganisms were shifted in the BWS. In summary, the composition and structure of the microbial network of the BWS were different from that of the HS. Many microbial network connections were missing in the BWS, which most likely provided conditions leading to higher rates of bacterial wilt disease.IMPORTANCE Bacterial wilt disease is caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum and is a widespread devastating soilborne disease leading to huge economic losses worldwide. The soil microbial community is crucial to the capacity of soils to suppress soilborne diseases through complex interactions. Network analysis can effectively explore these complex interactions. In this study, we used a random matrix theory (RMT)-based network approach to investigate the changes in microbial network and associated microbial interactions in a bacterial wilt-susceptible soil (BWS) in comparison to a healthy soil (HS). We found that the structure and composition of the microbial network in BWSs were quite different from those of the HS. The BWS network had fewer modules, edges, and key microorganisms and lower connectivity than the HS network. In the BWSs, apparently the topological role of microbes was changed and key microorganisms were shifted to specialists.

Abstract
Theories in soil biology, such as plant-microbe interactions and microbial cooperation and antagonism, have guided the practice of ecological restoration (ecorestoration). Below-ground biodiversity (bacteria, fungi, invertebrates, etc.) influences the development of above-ground biodiversity (vegetation structure). The role of rhizosphere bacteria in plant growth has been largely investigated but the role of phages (bacterial viruses) has received a little attention. Below the ground, phages govern the ecology and evolution of microbial communities by affecting genetic diversity, host fitness, population dynamics, community composition, and nutrient cycling. However, few restoration efforts take into account the interactions between bacteria and phages. Unlike other phages, filamentous phages are highly specific, nonlethal, and influence host fitness in several ways, which make them useful as target bacterial inocula. Also, the ease with which filamentous phages can be genetically manipulated to express a desired peptide to track and control pathogens and contaminants makes them useful in biosensing. Based on ecology and biology of filamentous phages, we developed a hypothesis on the application of phages in environment to derive benefits at different levels of biological organization ranging from individual bacteria to ecosystem for ecorestoration. We examined the potential applications of filamentous phages in improving bacterial inocula to restore vegetation and to monitor changes in habitat during ecorestoration and, based on our results, recommend a reorientation of the existing framework of using microbial inocula for such restoration and monitoring. Because bacterial inocula and biomonitoring tools based on filamentous phages are likely to prove useful in developing cost-effective methods of restoring vegetation, we propose that filamentous phages be incorporated into nature-based restoration efforts and that the tripartite relationship between phages, bacteria, and plants be explored further. Possible impacts of filamentous phages on native microflora are discussed and future areas of research are suggested to preclude any potential risks associated with such an approach.

Fungal pathogens pose a potential threat to animal and plant health in desertified and pika-burrowed alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau. Can J Microbiol 2018; 65:365-376.

Abstract
Intact Tibetan meadows provide significant defense against soil-borne pathogen dispersal. However, dramatic meadow degradation has been observed due to climate change and pika damage, but their impacts on soil-borne pathogens are still unclear. With approximately 40% of the world's population living in Tibetan Plateau and its downstream watersheds, this lack of knowledge should be of great concern. Here, we used Illumina amplicon sequencing to characterize the changes in potential human, domestic animal, plant, and zoonotic bacterial and fungal pathogens in nondegraded, desertified, and pika-burrowed meadows. The relative abundance of bacterial domestic animal pathogens and zoonotic pathogens were significantly increased by desertification. Pika burrowing significantly increased the relative abundance of bacterial human pathogens and zoonotic pathogens. The species richness and relative abundance of fungal pathogens was significantly increased by desertification and pika burrowing. Accordingly, fungal plant and animal pathogens categorized by FUNGuid significantly increased in desertified and pika-burrowed meadows. Soil chemical and plant properties explained 38% and 64% of the bacterial and fungal pathogen community variance, respectively. Therefore, our study indicates for the first time that both alpine meadow desertification and pika burrowing could potentially increase infectious disease risks in the alpine ecosystem, especially for fungal diseases.
