González-Pérez E, Jiménez-Bremont JF. Cladosporium psychrotolerans strain T01 enhances plant biomass and also exhibits antifungal activity against pathogens. Braz J Microbiol 2024; 55:2855-2867. [PMID: 38825649 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-024-01399-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
An increasing number of microorganisms are being identified to enhance plant growth and inhibit phytopathogens. Some Cladosporium species form beneficial associations with plants, either as endophytes or by colonizing the rhizosphere. Herein, we evaluated the influence of the Cladosporium psychrotolerans (T01 strain) fungus on the in vitro growth of Arabidopsis thaliana plantlets through direct and split interactions. After 9 days post-inoculation with C. psychrotolerans, Arabidopsis plantlets exhibited a notable increase in fresh weight and lateral roots, particularly in split interactions. Chlorophyll content increased in both plant-fungus interaction conditions, whereas the primary root was inhibited during direct interaction. We observed an increase in the GUS signal from the Arabidopsis auxin-inducible DR5:uidA marker in lateral root tips in both contact and split fungal interactions, and primary root tips in a split interaction. Arabidopsis and tomato plants cultivated in soil pots and inoculated with C. psychrotolerans (T01 strain) showed a positive effect on biomass production. GC/MS analysis detected that the T01 strain emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs), predominantly alcohols and aldehydes. These VOCs displayed potent inhibitory effects, with a 60% inhibition against Botrytis cinerea and a 50% inhibition against C. gloeosporioides. Our study demonstrates that C. psychrotolerans T01 has the potential to enhance biomass production and inhibit pathogens, making it a promising candidate for green technology applications.

Boisseaux M, Troispoux V, Bordes A, Cazal J, Cazal SO, Coste S, Stahl C, Schimann H. Are plant traits drivers of endophytic communities in seasonally flooded tropical forests? AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY 2024:e16366. [PMID: 39010811 DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
PREMISE In the Amazon basin, seasonally flooded (SF) forests offer varying water constraints, providing an excellent way to investigate the role of habitat selection on microbial communities within plants. However, variations in the microbial community among host plants cannot solely be attributed to environmental factors, and how plant traits contribute to microbial assemblages remains an open question. METHODS We described leaf- and root-associated microbial communities using ITS2 and 16 S high-throughput sequencing and investigated the stochastic-deterministic balance shaping these community assemblies using two null models. Plant ecophysiological functioning was evaluated by focusing on 10 leaf and root traits in 72 seedlings, belonging to seven tropical SF tree species in French Guiana. We then analyzed how root and leaf traits drove the assembly of endophytic communities. RESULTS While both stochastic and deterministic processes governed the endophyte assembly in the leaves and roots, stochasticity prevailed. Discrepancies were found between fungi and bacteria, highlighting that these microorganisms have distinct ecological strategies within plants. Traits, especially leaf traits, host species and spatial predictors better explained diversity than composition, but they were modest predictors overall. CONCLUSIONS This study widens our knowledge about tree species in SF forests, a habitat sensitive to climate change, through the combined analyses of their associated microbial communities with functional traits. We emphasize the need to investigate other plant traits to better disentangle the drivers of the relationship between seedlings and their associated microbiomes, ultimately enhancing their adaptive capacities to climate change.

Abstract
The process of carbohydrate metabolism and genetic information transfer is an important part of the study on the effects of the external environment on microbial growth and development. As one of the most significant environmental parameters, pH has an important effect on mycelial growth. In this study, the effects of environmental pH on the growth and nutrient composition of Aspergillus niger (A. niger) filaments were determined. The pH values of the medium were 5, 7, and 9, respectively, and the molecular mechanism was further investigated by transcriptomics and metabolomics methods. The results showed that pH 5 and 9 significantly inhibited filament growth and polysaccharide accumulation of A. niger. Further, the mycelium biomass of A. niger and the crude polysaccharide content was higher when the medium's pH was 7. The DEGs related to ribosome biogenesis were the most abundant, and the downregulated expression of genes encoding XRN1, RRM, and RIO1 affected protein translation, modification, and carbohydrate metabolism in fungi. The dynamic changes of pargyline and choline were in response to the oxidative metabolism of A. niger SICU-33. The ribophorin_I enzymes and DL-lactate may be important substances related to pH changes during carbohydrate metabolism of A.niger SICU-33. The results of this study provide useful transcriptomic and metabolomic information for further analyzing the bioinformatic characteristics of A. niger and improving the application in ecological agricultural fermentation.

MICROBIAL ECOLOGY 2024; 87:54. [PMID: 38512483 PMCID: PMC10957680 DOI: 10.1007/s00248-024-02349-4] [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: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Chemical soil fumigation (CSF) and reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) have been proven to be effective agricultural strategies to improve soil quality, restructure microbial communities, and promote plant growth in soil degradation remediation. However, it is still unclear how RSD and CSF ensure soil and plant health by altering fungal communities. Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of CSF with chloropicrin, and RSD with animal feces on soil properties, fungal communities and functional composition, and plant physiological characteristics were evaluated. Results showed that RSD and CSF treatment improved soil properties, restructured fungal community composition and structure, enhanced fungal interactions and functions, and facilitated plant growth. There was a significant increase in OM, AN, and AP contents in the soil with both CSF and RSD treatments compared to CK. Meanwhile, compared with CK and CSF, RSD treatment significantly increased biocontrol Chaetomium relative abundance while reducing pathogenic Neonectria relative abundance, indicating that RSD has strong inhibition potential. Furthermore, the microbial network of RSD treatment was more complex and interconnected, and the functions of plant pathogens, and animal pathogen were decreased. Importantly, RSD treatment significantly increased plant SOD, CAT, POD activity, SP, Ca, Zn content, and decreased MDA, ABA, Mg, K, and Fe content. In summary, RSD treatment is more effective than CSF treatment, by stimulating the proliferation of probiotic communities to further enhance soil health and plant disease resistance.

Abstract
Forest production has great relevance in the Brazilian economy, characterized by several production sectors, including the production of seedlings. With the focus on maximizing the capacity of survival, development, and adaptation of seedlings, Trichoderma is highlighted as a potentially useful genus of microorganisms for promoting growth and higher product quality. In this sense, this review aims to describe the main mechanisms of fungi action in forest seedlings' production. The different species of the genus Trichoderma have specific mechanisms of action, and the current scenario points to more advances in the number of species. The interaction process mediated by different mechanisms of action begins in the communication with plants, from the colonization process. After the interaction, chemical dialogues allow the plant to develop better because, from colonization, the forest seedlings can maximize height and increase shoot and root development. Fungi promote solubilization and availability of nutrients to seedlings, which show numerous benefits to the development. The use of beneficial microorganisms, such as fungi of the genus Trichoderma, has become a sustainable strategy to enhance seedling development, reducing the use of agrochemicals and industrial fertilizers.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully isolated two distinct yeasts from Moroccan extreme environments. These yeasts were subjected to molecular characterization by analyzing their Internal Transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Our research thoroughly characterizes plant growth-promoting abilities and their drought and salt stress tolerance. In a greenhouse assay, we examined the impact of selected yeasts on Medicago sativa's growth. Four treatments were employed: (i) control without inoculation (NI), (ii) inoculation with L1, (iii) inoculation with L2, and (iv) inoculation with the mixture L1 + L2. L1 isolated from Toubkal Mountain shared 99.83% sequence similarity to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Meanwhile, L2, thriving in the arid Merzouga desert, displayed a similar identity to Naganishia albida (99.84%). Yeast strains were tolerant to NaCl (2 M) and 60% PEG (polyethylene glycol P6000) in case of drought. Both strains could solubilize phsphorus, with L2 additionally demonstrating potassium solubilization. In addition, both strains produce indole acetic acid (up to 135 µl ml-1), have siderophore ability, and produce aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase. Isolates L1 and L2, and their consortium showed that the single or combined strain inoculation of M. sativa improved plant growth, development, and nutrient assimilation. These findings pave the way for harnessing yeast-based solutions in agricultural practices, contributing to enhanced crop productivity and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Plant-growth-promoting microbes are sustainable alternative to improve the soil fertility and plant-growth facilitating the nutrients uptake in normal and stressed environmental conditions. Among these, halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms with plant- growth-promoting ability are better candidates that could be exploited as bioinoculants in salinity affected agriculture soils. Considering this, the current study aimed to isolate, characterize and determine the plant-growth-promoting potential of the culturable halotolerant black yeast associated with salt crystals from the solar saltern of Goa, India. The results revealed 1.3 × 104 CFU/g of viable number of colonies on 25% NaCl Tryptone Yeast Extract (NTYE) agar after 30-45 days incubation. Among ten morphologically distinct isolates, a black pigmented strain PMGTC8 was characterized as yeast-like and appeared two celled with average size of 4.30 ± 0.14 µm under scanning electron micrograph. Based on phylogenetic analysis using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) marker, the isolate showed maximum similarity to genus Hortaea. Interestingly, Hortaea sp. strain PMGTC8 (OR527117) exhibited plant-growth-promoting characteristics and caused significantly (p < 0.01) higher germination rate (93.33%), vigor index (964.22), shoot (3.95 cm) and root length (6.38 cm), and fresh weight (0.039 g) of Oryza sativa var. Korgut. This halotolerant black yeast may play a role in nutrition of the plants growing in saline soils. Conclusively, the current findings report for the first time the plant-growth-promoting potential of Hortaea sp. strain PMGTC8 associated with salt crystals of solar saltern, Goa, India for its possible use as bio-fertilizers in saline agriculture soils.

Abstract
Plants, the cornerstone of life on Earth, are constantly struggling with a number of challenges arising from both biotic and abiotic stressors. To overcome these adverse factors, plants have evolved complex defense mechanisms involving both a number of cell signaling pathways and a complex network of interactions with microorganisms. Among these interactions, the relationship between symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and strigolactones (SLs) stands as an important interplay that has a significant impact on increased resistance to environmental stresses and improved nutrient uptake and the subsequent enhanced plant growth. AMF establishes mutualistic partnerships with plants by colonizing root systems, and offers a range of benefits, such as increased nutrient absorption, improved water uptake and increased resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. SLs play a fundamental role in shaping root architecture, promoting the growth of lateral roots and regulating plant defense responses. AMF can promote the production and release of SLs by plants, which in turn promote symbiotic interactions due to their role as signaling molecules with the ability to attract beneficial microbes. The complete knowledge of this synergy has the potential to develop applications to optimize agricultural practices, improve nutrient use efficiency and ultimately increase crop yields. This review explores the roles played by AMF and SLs in plant development and stress tolerance, highlighting their individual contributions and the synergistic nature of their interaction.

Abstract
Currently, sustainable agriculture involves ecofriendly techniques, which include biofertilization. Biofertilizers increase plant productivity by improving soil fertility and nutrient content. A wide range of living organisms can be applied as biofertilizers and increase soil fertility without causing pollution due to their biodegradability. The organisms can be microorganisms like bacteria, microalgae, and micro fungi or macro organisms like macroalgae, macro fungi, and higher plants. Biofertilizers extracted from living organisms or their residues will be increasingly used rather than chemical fertilizers, which cause heavy metal accumulation in soil. Biofertilizer use aims for sustainable development in agriculture by maintaining the soil. This will mitigate climate change and related impacts and will also lower many serious diseases resulting from pollution such as cancer, liver and renal failure, and immune diseases. This review is a comprehensive overview of biofertilizers extracted from a range of living organisms from the Kingdoms Monera to Plantae and included bacteria, algae, fungi, and higher plants. Organisms that play a vital role in elevating soil nutrients in a safe, cheap, and ecofriendly manner are included in the review to promote their potential commercial application.

Abstract
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are mixtures of gas-phase hydrophobic carbon-based molecules produced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. They can act as airborne signals sensed by plants being crucial players in triggering signaling cascades influencing their secondary metabolism, development, and growth. The role of fungal volatile organic compounds (FVOCs) from beneficial or detrimental species to influence the physiology and priming effect of plants has been well studied. However, the plants mechanisms to discern between FVOCs from friend or foe remains significantly understudied. Under this outlook, we present an overview of the VOCs produced by plant-associate fungal species, with a particular focus on the challenges faced in VOCs research: i) understanding how plants could perceive FVOCs, ii) investigating the differential responses of plants to VOCs from beneficial or detrimental fungal strains, and finally, iii) exploring practical aspects related to the collection of VOCs and their eco-friendly application in agriculture.

Improving the Growth and Productivity of Macrotyloma uniflorum Medicinal Plant by the Co-inoculation of P, Zn and K-Solubilizing Fungi Under Field Conditions. Curr Microbiol 2023; 80:277. [PMID: 37434070 DOI: 10.1007/s00284-023-03385-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
The presence of small amount of soluble forms of Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) and Zinc (Zn) in most soils is one of the limiting factors for agronomic crop production. The current study focuses on Macrotyloma uniflorum (horse gram or gahat), the most commonly cultivated crop in Uttarakhand. The current initiative and study were started, because there is a little information available on the impact of co-inoculation of beneficial fungi on crops in agricultural fields. Aspergillus niger K7 and Penicillium chrysogenum K4 were isolated and selected for the study on the basis of in vitro P, K and Zn-solubilizing activity. The solubilizing efficiency of K4 strain was 140% and K7 was 173.9% for P. However, the solubilizing efficiencies of K4 and K7 were 160% and 138.46% for Zn and 160% and 466% for K, respectively. The field trials were performed for two consecutive years, and growth and yield related parameters were measured for evaluation of the effect of P, K and Zn-solubilizing fungal strains on the crop. All the treatments showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in growth and yield of M. uniflorum plants over uninoculated control; however, the best treatment was found to be soil inoculated with P. chrysogenum K4 + A. niger K7 in which the yield was enhanced by 71% over control. Thus, the co-inoculation of K4 and K7 strains showed a great potential to improve the growth and yield of plants. Both the fungal strains simultaneously solubilized three important nutritional elements in soil, which is a rare trait. Moreover, the capacity of these fungal strains to enhance the plant root nodulation and microbial count in soil makes the co-inoculation practice quite beneficial for sustainable agriculture.

Yuan T, Ren W, Wang Z, Fry EL, Tang S, Yin J, Zhang J, Jia Z. How does the pattern of root metabolites regulating beneficial microorganisms change with different grazing pressures? FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1180576. [PMID: 37484473 PMCID: PMC10361787 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1180576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Grazing disturbance can change the structure of plant rhizosphere microbial communities and thereby alter the feedback to promote plant growth or induce plant defenses. However, little is known about how such changes occur and vary under different grazing pressures or the roles of root metabolites in altering the composition of rhizosphere microbial communities. In this study, the effects of different grazing pressures on the composition of microbial communities were investigated, and the mechanisms by which different grazing pressures changed rhizosphere microbiomes were explored with metabolomics. Grazing changed composition, functions, and co-expression networks of microbial communities. Under light grazing (LG), some saprophytic fungi, such as Lentinus sp., Ramichloridium sp., Ascobolus sp. and Hyphoderma sp., were significantly enriched, whereas under heavy grazing (HG), potentially beneficial rhizobacteria, such as Stenotrophomonas sp., Microbacterium sp., and Lysobacter sp., were significantly enriched. The beneficial mycorrhizal fungus Schizothecium sp. was significantly enriched in both LG and HG. Moreover, all enriched beneficial microorganisms were positively correlated with root metabolites, including amino acids (AAs), short-chain organic acids (SCOAs), and alkaloids. This suggests that these significantly enriched rhizosphere microbial changes may be caused by these differential root metabolites. Under LG, it is inferred that root metabolites, especially AAs such as L-Histidine, may regulate specific saprophytic fungi to participate in material transformations and the energy cycle and promote plant growth. Furthermore, to help alleviate the stress of HG and improve plant defenses, it is inferred that the root system actively regulates the synthesis of these root metabolites such as AAs, SCOAs, and alkaloids under grazing interference, and then secretes them to promote the growth of some specific plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and fungi. To summarize, grasses can regulate beneficial microorganisms by changing root metabolites composition, and the response strategies vary under different grazing pressure in typical grassland ecosystems.

Abstract
Fungi in the genus Talaromyces occur in every environment in both terrestrial and marine contexts, where they have been quite frequently found in association with plants and animals. The relationships of symbiotic fungi with their hosts are often mediated by bioactive secondary metabolites, and Talaromyces species represent a prolific source of these compounds. This review highlights the biosynthetic potential of marine-derived Talaromyces strains, using accounts from the literature published since 2016. Over 500 secondary metabolites were extracted from axenic cultures of these isolates and about 45% of them were identified as new products, representing a various assortment of chemical classes such as alkaloids, meroterpenoids, isocoumarins, anthraquinones, xanthones, phenalenones, benzofurans, azaphilones, and other polyketides. This impressive chemodiversity and the broad range of biological properties that have been disclosed in preliminary assays qualify these fungi as a valuable source of products to be exploited for manifold biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Contamination of microalgae cultures can reduce their productivity and affect the quality of biomass and valuable bioproducts. In this article, after having isolated and identified for the first time the filamentous fungus Penicillium citrinum from heterotrophic cultures of the red polyextremophilic microalga Galdieria sulphuraria, we investigated the biological and metabolic significance of this alga-fungus association. In the same medium, both organisms grow better in each other's presence than separately. Both cell density and cell size of G. sulphuraria increase in co-cultures compared to pure alga cultures. In co-cultures, despite very severe growth conditions, the load of P. citrinum increases compared to pure fungus cultures. Optical microscope images have shown physical contact between cells of P. citrinum hyphae and G. sulphuraria which, however, retain their morphology and cell wall intact. GC-MS-based metabolomics analysis of metabolites excreted in the culture medium shows that pure cultures of the fungus and alga and co-cultures of alga plus fungus can be easily differentiated based on their metabolic products. Indeed, a richer assortment of extracellular metabolites (comprising both products of primary and secondary metabolism) is a distinct feature of co-cultures compared to both pure alga and pure fungus cultures.

Abstract
Agricultural industry is facing huge crisis due to fast changing climate, decreased soil fertility, macro and micronutrient insufficiency, misuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and heavy metal presence in soil. With exponential increase in world's population, food consumption has increased significantly. Maintaining the production to consumption ratio is a significant challenge due to shortage caused by various issues faced by agricultural industry even with the improved agricultural practices. Recent scientific evidence suggests that nanotechnology can positively impact the agriculture sector by reducing the harmful effects of farming operations on human health and nature, as well as improving food productivity and security. Farmers are combining improved agricultural practices like usage of fertilizers, pesticides etc. with nano-based materials to improve the efficiency and productivity of crops. Nano technology is also playing a significant role improving animal health products, food packaging materials, and nanosensors for detecting pathogens, toxins, and heavy metals in soil among others. The nanobased materials have improved the productivity twice with half the resources being utilized. Nanoparticles that are currently in use include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide, gold, and silver used for increasing soil fertility and plant growth. Crop growth, yield, and productivity are improved by controlled release nanofertilizers. In this review we elaborate on the recent developments in the agricultural sector by the usage of nanomaterial based composites which has significantly improved the agricultural sector especially how nanoparticles play an important role in plant growth and soil fertility, in controlling plant diseases by the use of nanopesticides, nanoinsecticides, nanofertilizers, Nanoherbicides, nanobionics, nanobiosensors. The review also highlights the mechanism of migration of nanoparticles in plants and most importantly the effects of nanoparticles in causing plant and soil toxicity.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is a growing environmental issue that results in its accumulation and persistence in soil for many decades, with possible effects on soil quality and ecosystem services. Microorganisms, and especially fungi, are a keystone of soil biodiversity and soil metabolic capacity. The aim of this research was to study soil fungal biodiversity and soil microbial metabolic profiles in three different sites in northern Italy, where macro- and microplastic concentration in soil was measured. The metabolic analyses of soil microorganisms were performed by Biolog EcoPlates, while the ITS1 fragment of the 18S ribosomal cDNA was used as a target for the metabarcoding of fungal communities. The results showed an intense and significant decrease in soil microbial metabolic ability in the site with the highest concentration of microplastics. Moreover, the soil fungal community composition was significantly different in the most pristine site when compared with the other two sites. The metabarcoding of soil samples revealed a general dominance of Mortierellomycota followed by Ascomycota in all sampled soils. Moreover, a dominance of fungi involved in the degradation of plant residues was observed in all three sites. In conclusion, this study lays the foundation for further research into the effect of plastics on soil microbial communities and their activities.

Abstract
Food safety is a significant challenge worldwide, from plantation to cultivation, especially for perishable products such as tomatoes. New eco-friendly strategies are needed, and beneficial microorganisms might be a sustainable solution. This study demonstrates bacteria activity in the tomato plant rhizosphere. Further, it investigates the rhizobacteria's structure, function, and diversity in soil. Rhizobacteria that promote the growth and development of tomato plants are referred to as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR). They form a series of associations with plants and other organisms in the soil through a mutualistic relationship where both parties benefit from living together. It implies the antagonistic activities of the rhizobacteria to deter pathogens from invading tomato plants through their roots. Some PGPR are regarded as biological control agents that hinder the development of spoilage organisms and can act as an alternative for agricultural chemicals that may be detrimental to the health of humans, animals, and some of the beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere soil. These bacteria also help tomato plants acquire essential nutrients like potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), and nitrogen (N). Some rhizobacteria may offer a solution to low tomato production and help tackle food insecurity and farming problems. In this review, an overview of soil-inhabiting rhizobacteria focused on improving the sustainable production of Solanum lycopersicum.

Abstract
Fungi are an important and diverse component in various ecosystems. The methods to identify different fungi are an important step in any mycological study. Classical methods of fungal identification, which rely mainly on morphological characteristics and modern use of DNA based molecular techniques, have proven to be very helpful to explore their taxonomic identity. In the present compilation, we provide detailed information on estimates of fungi provided by different mycologistsover time. Along with this, a comprehensive analysis of the importance of classical and molecular methods is also presented. In orderto understand the utility of genus and species specific markers in fungal identification, a polyphasic approach to investigate various fungi is also presented in this paper. An account of the study of various fungi based on culture-based and cultureindependent methods is also provided here to understand the development and significance of both approaches. The available information on classical and modern methods compiled in this study revealed that the DNA based molecular studies are still scant, and more studies are required to achieve the accurate estimation of fungi present on earth.

Abstract
Endophytic fungal communities have attracted a great attention to chemists, ecologists, and microbiologists as a treasure trove of biological resource. Endophytic fungi play incredible roles in the ecosystem including abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, eco-adaptation, enhancing growth and development, and maintaining the health of their host. In recent times, endophytic fungi have drawn a special focus owing to their indispensable diversity, unique distribution, and unparalleled metabolic pathways. The endophytic fungal communities belong to three phyla, namely Mucoromycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota with seven predominant classes Agaricomycetes, Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Mortierellomycotina, Mucoromycotina, Saccharomycetes, and Sordariomycetes. In a review of a huge number of research finding, it was found that endophytic fungal communities of genera Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Fusarium, Gaeumannomyces, Metarhizium, Microsphaeropsis, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Piriformospora, Talaromyces, Trichoderma, Verticillium, and Xylaria have been sorted out and well characterized for diverse biotechnological applications for future development. Furthermore, these communities are remarkable source of novel bioactive compounds with amazing biological activity for use in agriculture, food, and pharmaceutical industry. Endophytes are endowed with a broad range of structurally unique bioactive natural products, including alkaloids, benzopyranones, chinones, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and quinines. Subsequently, there is still an excellent opportunity to explore novel compounds from endophytic fungi among numerous plants inhabiting different niches. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing could be a tool to study interaction between plants and endophytic fungi which may provide further opportunities to reveal unknown functions of endophytic fungal communities. The present review deals with the biodiversity of endophytic fungal communities and their biotechnological implications for agro-environmental sustainability.

[PMID: 34870738 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11698-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
As the core food crop of a bioregenerative life support system (BLSS), wheat is susceptible to pathogen infection due to the lack of effective microbial communities in the confined and isolated environment. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the dynamic changes in wheat rhizosphere fungi is of great significance for improving wheat production and ensuring the stability of the BLSS. In the current study, we collected samples of rhizosphere fungi in the four growth stages of wheat grown in the "Lunar Palace 365" experiment. We employed bioinformatics methods to analyze the samples' species composition characteristics, community network characteristics, and FUNGuild function analysis. We found that the species composition of rhizosphere fungi in the wheat at the tillering stage changed greatly in the closed and isolated environment, while the species composition in the seedling, flowering, and mature stage were relatively stable. The results of the FUNGuild function analysis showed that the functions of rhizosphere fungi changed during wheat development. The rhizosphere fungal community was centered on Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, and Chytridiomycota, and the community showed the characteristics of a "small world" arrangement. The stage of wheat seedlings is characterized by a greater abundance, diversity, and complexity of the network of interactions in the rhizosphere mycorrhiza community, while the tillering stage exhibited a greater clustering coefficient. Based on the changes in species composition, guild function regulation, and community structure differences of the wheat rhizosphere fungi in the BLSS, our study identified the critical fungal species during wheat development, providing a reference for ensuring the health and yield of plants in the BLSS system. KEY POINTS: • The diversity, composition, FUNguild, and network structure of rhizosphere fungi were analyzed. • Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, and Chytridiomycota were the center of the rhizosphere fungal community network. • The effects of different wheat developmental stages on the community composition, function, and network structure of rhizosphere fungi were examined.

Abstract
Soil continuous cropping obstacles lead to yield and economic losses in agriculture. Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is an effective technology for alleviating it. However, the key factors influencing microbial community composition and how do they promote functional transformation of core microbes under RSD practice remain poorly understood. Hence, a short-term field experiment was performed integrating real-time polymerase chain reaction, average well color development (AWCD), and MiSeq pyrosequencing to investigate relationships between environmental factors and microorganisms in five different disinfestation treatments, i.e., untreated monoculture soil (CK), soil with high temperature heating (HT), soil with dazomet (DZ), RSD with sugarcane bagasse (SB), or with bean dregs (BD). The results showed that compared to non-RSD treatments, both RSD treatments significantly increased soil microbial abundance and soil available K and organic matter (OM). Further analysis found that available K and OM were the key factors inducing microbial community change. Additionally, relative to non-RSD treatments, the relative abundances of phyla Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Rokubacteria, and Ascomycota were higher, whereas those of Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Basidiomycota were lower in RSD treatments. Changes in microbial diversity and abundance led to variation of soil microbial community functions. AWCD and community function prediction showed that, in contrast with non-RSD treatments, soil metabolism activity significantly increased, bacterial community functions including terpenoids and polyketides metabolism, signal transduction and cell motility increased, and the number of saprotroph fungi increased under RSD treatments. Overall, RSD incorporated with sugarcane bagasse or bean dregs efficiently improved soil fertility, and considerably increased soil microbial activity and function, which may benefit future sustainable agriculture production. Key points • Reductive soil disinfestation can alleviate continuous cropping obstacles by improving soil fertility. • Organic matter and available potassium as the key factors affected microbial community reconstruction and function. • Reductive soil disinfestation can improve soil metabolic activity and functional diversity by altering microorganism community.
