[PMID: 38438519 PMCID: PMC10912678 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-56129-8] [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: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
This study compared the pathogenicity of monokaryotic (monokaryon) and dikaryotic (dikaryon) mycelia of the oil palm pathogen Ganoderma boninense via metabolomics approach. Ethyl acetate crude extracts of monokaryon and dikaryon were analysed by liquid chromatography quadrupole/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (LC-Q/TOF-MS) coupled with multivariate data analysis using MetaboAnalyst. The mummichog algorithm was also used to identify the functional activities of monokaryon and dikaryon without a priori identification of all their secondary metabolites. Results revealed that monokaryon produced lesser fungal metabolites than dikaryon, suggesting that monokaryon had a lower possibility of inducing plant infection. These findings were further supported by the identified functional activities. Monokaryon exhibits tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan metabolism, which are important for fungal growth and development and to produce toxin precursors. In contrast, dikaryon exhibits the metabolism of cysteine and methionine, arginine and proline, and phenylalanine, which are important for fungal growth, development, virulence, and pathogenicity. As such, monokaryon is rendered non-pathogenic as it produces growth metabolites and toxin precursors, whereas dikaryon is pathogenic as it produces metabolites that are involved in fungal growth and pathogenicity. The LC-MS-based metabolomics approach contributes significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesis of Ganoderma boninense, which is essential for disease management in oil palm plantations.

Microbiomes of Thalassia testudinum throughout the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico are influenced by site and region while maintaining a core microbiome. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1357797. [PMID: 38463486 PMCID: PMC10920284 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1357797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant microbiomes are known to serve several important functions for their host, and it is therefore important to understand their composition as well as the factors that may influence these microbial communities. The microbiome of Thalassia testudinum has only recently been explored, and studies to-date have primarily focused on characterizing the microbiome of plants in a single region. Here, we present the first characterization of the composition of the microbial communities of T. testudinum across a wide geographical range spanning three distinct regions with varying physicochemical conditions. We collected samples of leaves, roots, sediment, and water from six sites throughout the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. We then analyzed these samples using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. We found that site and region can influence the microbial communities of T. testudinum, while maintaining a plant-associated core microbiome. A comprehensive comparison of available microbial community data from T. testudinum studies determined a core microbiome composed of 14 ASVs that consisted mostly of the family Rhodobacteraceae. The most abundant genera in the microbial communities included organisms with possible plant-beneficial functions, like plant-growth promoting taxa, disease suppressing taxa, and nitrogen fixers.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between dynamic microbial networks and functional stability is critical for the stable operation of anammox systems. Here, by operating an anammox reactor under constant condition over 250 days, it was found that the relative abundance of Planctomycetota gradually decreased while Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria increased, with stochasticity predominating the bacterial assembly as the reactor operation. Network analysis revealed a successional dynamic pattern of microbial interaction despite stable performance. The variation of subnetworks indicated Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria alternately played important role in anammox microbial network, and the negative relationship between anammox bacteria and heterotrophs could achieve a balance to keep functional stability under long-term operation. Furthermore, the identified keystone species mainly belonged to heterotrophs that were critical in maintaining network structure and system function. The results of this study revealed clear changing patterns of microbial community and network succession, which could provide valuable reference for other stably operated bioreactors.

Abstract
Soil nutrients and microbiota are known as essential components for healthy plant growth and crop productivity. However, limited studies have been conducted on the importance of soil microbiota in the early growth of oil palm seedlings (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) under the influence of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) compound fertilizer (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). In this study, we analyzed the root microbial community associated with seedlings grown under normal and sterilized soil conditions to ascertain the microbial strains potentially associated with soil, plant health and chemical fertilizer efficiency. Oil palm seedlings were grown under four treatments: (i) fertilized normal soil (+FN), (ii) unfertilized normal soil (-FN), (iii) fertilized sterilized soil (+FS) and (iv) unfertilized sterilized soil (-FS). Our findings revealed that chemical fertilizer promoted the growth of the copiotrophs Pseudomonadota and Bacteroidota in the control +FN, which are known to degrade complex polysaccharides. After autoclaving, the soil macronutrient content did not change, but soil sterilization reduced microbial diversity in the +FS and -FS treatments and altered the soil microbiota composition. Sterilized soil with a depleted microbial population adversely affected crop growth, which was exacerbated by fertilizer use. In the rhizosphere and rhizoplane compartments, a total of 412 and 868 amplicon sequence variances (ASVs) were found depleted in the +FS and -FS treatments, respectively. Several genera were identified in the ASVs with diminished abundance, including Humibacter, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, 1921-2, HSB OF53-F07, Mucilaginibacter, Bacillus, Paenibacillus, and several unclassified genera, suggesting their possible roles in promoting the plant growth of oil palm seedlings. Soil sterilization might remove these beneficial microbes from the bulk soil pool, affecting the colonization ability in the rhizocompartments as well as their role in nutrient transformation. Therefore, this study provides useful insights concerning the benefits of a soil microbiome survey before making fertilizer recommendations.

Abstract
Ganoderma boninense, the causal agent of basal stem rot (BSR) disease, has been recognized as a major economic threat to commercial plantings of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in Southeast Asia, which supplies 86% of the world's palm oil. High genetic diversity and gene flow among regional populations of 417 G. boninense isolates collected from Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular Malaysia (Malaysia) and Sumatra (Indonesia) were demonstrated using 16 microsatellite loci. Three genetic clusters and different admixed populations of G. boninense across regions were detected, and they appeared to follow the spread of the fungus from the oldest (Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra) to younger generations of oil palm plantings (Sabah and Sarawak). Low spatial genetic differentiation of G. boninense (FST = 0.05) among the sampling regions revealed geographically nonrestricted gene dispersal, but isolation by distance was still evident. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) confirmed the little to no genetic differentiation among the pathogen populations and the three genetic clusters defined by STRUCTURE and minimum spanning network. Despite G. boninense being highly outcrossing and spread by sexual spores, linkage disequilibrium was detected in 7 of the 14 populations. Linkage disequilibrium indicated that the reproduction of the fungus was not entirely by random mating and genetic drift could be an important structuring factor. Furthermore, evidence of population bottleneck was indicated in the oldest oil palm plantations as detected in genetic clusters 2 and 3, which consisted mainly of Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra isolates. The population bottleneck or founding event could have arisen from either new planting or replanting after the removal of large number of palm hosts. The present study also demonstrated that migration and nonrandom mating of G. boninense could be important for survival and adaptation to new palm hosts.
