Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two vineyard management practices on the soil and its associated microbiota. The experiments were conducted in two adjacent plots, one completely organically managed and the other conventionally managed in terms of phytosanitary treatments but fertilized with organic amendments. The chemical soil analyses were correlated to the prokaryotic and fungal communities, which were studied using the metabarcoding technique. The main difference between the two treatments was a significantly higher amount of Cu in the organic managed vineyard soil, while conventional managed soil presented higher concentration of Na and Mg and was also associated with higher pH values. Despite these differences, no significant diversities were observed on soil biodiversity and microbial composition considering alpha and beta diversity metrics. However, the percentages of some phyla analyzed individually differed significantly between the two managements. Analyzing the metabolisms of these phyla, it was discovered an increment of species correlated to soils with higher organic matter content or land not used for agricultural purposes in the organic treated soil. The findings indicate that, despite the use of copper-based phytosanitary products, there was no degradation and loss of biodiversity in the organic soil microbial population compared to conventional management with the same type of fertilization, and the observed microbial population was more similar to that of natural soils.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132256.

Abstract
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were effective in stabilizing Sb. However, the influence of electron donors and acceptors during SRB remediation, as well as the ecological principles involved, remained unclear. In this study, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 7757 was utilized to stabilize soil Sb within microcosm. Humic acid (HA) or sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) were employed to enhance SRB capacity. The SRB+HA treatment exhibited the highest Sb stabilization rate, achieving 58.40%. Bacterial community analysis revealed that SRB altered soil bacterial diversity, community composition, and assembly processes, with homogeneous selection as the predominant assembly processes. When HA and Na2SO4 significantly modified the stimulated microbial community succession trajectories, shaped the taxonomic composition and interactions of the bacterial community, they showed converse effect in shaping bacterial community which were both helpful for promoting dissimilatory sulfate reduction. Na2SO4 facilitated SRB-mediated anaerobic reduction and promoted interactions between SRB and bacteria involved in nitrogen and sulfur cycling. The HA stimulated electron generation and storage, and enhanced the interactions between SRB and bacteria possessing heavy metal tolerance or carbohydrate degradation capabilities.

Microbiome for High-Yield Isolation of Bacteria with Plant Growth-Promoting Traits. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1538. [PMID: 37375040 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11061538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The diversity of plant-associated bacteria is vast and can be determined by 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Fewer of them have plant-beneficial properties. To harness their benefits for plants, we must isolate them. This study aimed to check whether 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding has predictive power in identifying the majority of known bacteria with plant-beneficial traits that can be isolated from the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) microbiome. Rhizosphere and phyllosphere samples collected during one season at different stages of plant development were analyzed. Bacteria were isolated on rich unselective media and plant-based media enriched with sugar beet leaves or rhizosphere extracts. The isolates were identified by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and tested in vitro for their plant-beneficial properties (stimulation of germination; exopolysaccharide, siderophore, and HCN production; phosphate solubilization; and activity against sugar beet pathogens). The highest number of co-occurring beneficial traits was eight, found in isolates of five species: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Bacillus australimaris, B. pumilus, Enterobacter ludwiigi, and Pantoea ananatis. These species were not detected by metabarcoding and have not previously been described as plant-beneficial inhabitants of sugar beets. Thus, our findings point out the necessity of a culture-dependent microbiome analysis and advocate for low-nutrient plant-based media for high-yield isolation of plant-beneficial taxa with multiple beneficial traits. A culture-dependent and -independent approach is required for community diversity assessment. Still, isolation on plant-based media is the best approach to select isolates for potential use as biofertilizers and biopesticides in sugar beet cultivation.

The different trends in the burden of neurological and mental disorders following dietary transition in China, the USA, and the world: An extension analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Front Nutr 2023; 9:957688.

Abstract
Introduction The highly processed western diet is substituting the low-processed traditional diet in the last decades globally. Increasing research found that a diet with poor quality such as western diet disrupts gut microbiota and increases the susceptibility to various neurological and mental disorders, while a balanced diet regulates gut microbiota and prevents and alleviates the neurological and mental disorders. Yet, there is limited research on the association between the disease burden expanding of neurological and mental disorders with a dietary transition. Methods We compared the disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) trend by age for neurological and mental disorders in China, in the United States of America (USA), and across the world from 1990 to 2019, evaluated the dietary transition in the past 60 years, and analyzed the association between the burden trend of the two disorders with the changes in diet composition and food production. Results We identified an age-related upward pattern in disease burden in China. Compared with the USA and the world, the Chinese neurological and mental disorders DALY percent was least in the generation over 75 but rapidly increased in younger generations and surpassed the USA and/or the world in the last decades. The age-related upward pattern in Chinese disease burdens had not only shown in the presence of cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, and diabetes mellitus but also appeared in the presence of depressive disorders, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, schizophrenia, headache disorders, anxiety disorders, conduct disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and eating disorders, successively. Additionally, the upward trend was associated with the dramatic dietary transition including a reduction in dietary quality and food production sustainability, during which the younger generation is more affected than the older. Following the increase in total calorie intake, alcohol intake, ratios of animal to vegetal foods, and poultry meat to pulses, the burdens of the above diseases continuously rose. Then, following the rise of the ratios of meat to pulses, eggs to pulses, and pork to pulses, the usage of fertilizers, the farming density of pigs, and the burdens of the above disease except diabetes mellitus were also ever-increasing. Even the usage of pesticides was positively correlated with the burdens of Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, cardiovascular diseases, and neoplasms. Contrary to China, the corresponding burdens of the USA trended to reduce with the improvements in diet quality and food production sustainability. Discussion Our results suggest that improving diet quality and food production sustainability might be a promising way to stop the expanding burdens of neurological and mental disorders.

Srivastava A, Verma D. Ganga River sediments of India predominate with aerobic and chemo-heterotrophic bacteria majorly engaged in the degradation of xenobiotic compounds. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:752-772.

Abstract
Sediment provides a stagnant habitat to microbes that accumulate organic matter and other industrial pollutants from the upper layer of the water. The sediment of the Ganga River of India is overlooked for exploring the bacterial diversity despite their taxon richness over the water counterpart. To enrich the limited information on the bacterial diversity of the Ganga River sediment, the present study was planned that relies on amplicon-based bacterial diversity of the Ganga River sediment by using bacterial-specific 16S hypervariable region (V3-V4). The Illumina MiSeq2500 platform generated 1,769,226 raw reads from the metagenomes of various samples obtained from ten sites in five major cities of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand regions traversing the Ganga River. Taxonomy level analysis assigned 58 phyla, 366 order, and 715 genera of bacterial type. The high values of various diversity indices (Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson) in Kanpur sediment indicate the high bacterial richness compared to the Rishikesh sediment. However, several other ecological parameters (Shannon index, Simpson index, enspie _vector, and Faith_pd) were comparatively higher in Rishikesh sediment which is a comparatively less disturbed region by human activities over the other sediments samples studied here. Ganga River sediment dominates with Gram-negative, chemo-heterotrophic, and aerobic bacteria that chiefly belong to Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Bacteroidota. The abundance of Nitrospira, Hydrogenophaga, Thauera, Vicinamibacteraceae, and Latescibacterota in the Ganga River sediment could be considered as the ecological indicators that find a significant role in the degradation of xenobiotic compounds. The PICRUSt-based analysis showed that ~ 35% of genes were involved in benzoate and aminobenzoate degradation where a significant portion of genes belong to nitrotoluene degradation (14%). Thus, the study uncovers a new perspective in the lineage of bacterial communities and their functional characterization of the Ganga River sediment.

Abstract
Phosphorus and nitrogen recovery from wastewater as struvite and ammonium nitrate (AN) may be viable alternative fertilizers to boost circularity in horticulture. A 2-year fertigated crop rotation in soil under greenhouse conditions was evaluated to determine the efficiency of both recovered products as raw materials for a nutrient solution (NS) manufacture. The effects of these treatments versus synthetic fertilizers were compared in terms of crop performance, plant nutrient uptake, soil chemistry and microbiota. This is the first study to implement struvite through fertigation as the sole source of P in soil crops. Results showed that both recovered products can be used as fertilizers in NS, due to the similar response to the control for different parameters and crops (tomato, lettuce, and cauliflower). However, the AN treatment showed lower yield in the first tomato crop, which results may depend on the cultivar ammonium tolerance. Besides, the concentration of heavy metals in fruits/leaves was below the permissible limits. Total and Olsen phosphorus soil analysis revealed no differences among treatments, resulting in a similar performance of P-struvite to commercial phosphate. Bulk soil bacteria structure, richness and relative dominance were increased over time, while archaea only showed lower evenness, both despite the fertilization strategy. Shannon diversity was not significantly affected. A predominance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) versus archaea (AOA) was observed, while nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), dominated by Nitrospira, increased with fertigation. Our results demonstrate that fertilizer blends for NS containing recovered nutrients are a feasible alternative to synthetic fertilizers.

Abstract
Optimal potassium (K) fertilizer application in potato cropping systems can effectively increase food production and mitigate soil microbial ecosystem stress. The dynamics and sustainability of potato yield, the dynamics of potato commodity rates (CRs), and microbial community structure were explored under four different K application rates (kg K ha−1 year−1): 0 (control), 75 (low K), 150 (medium K), and 225 (high K). Compared with the low-K application, the medium-K and high-K applications increased potato yields by 8.08% and 11.66%, respectively. The mean CR of potato tubers during 4 years was significantly greater under the medium-K treatment than under the low-K and high-K treatments. Both medium-K and high-K applications significantly enhanced the sustainable yield index (SYI) relative to the Low-K application by 7.93% and 9.34%, respectively. Compared with the zero-K, low-K, and high-K treatments, the medium-K treatment improved the total phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) contents by 11.91%, 16.84%, and 11.66%, respectively. Moreover, the medium-K application increased the bacterial PFLA, actinomycete PFLA, gram-positive (G+) bacterial PFLA, and gram-negative (G−) bacterial PFLA contents in the soil. Overall, application of 150 kg ha−1 year−1 K fertilizer represents a promising fertilization strategy in potato cropping systems in Southwest China.

Abstract
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in biogeochemical cycling and are highly sensitive to environmental factors, including the physiochemical properties of the soils and the concentrations of heavy metals/metalloids. In this study, high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to study the microbial communities of farmland soils in farmland in the vicinity of a lead–zinc smelter. Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Gemmatimonadetes were the predominant phyla in the sites of interest. Sphingomonas, Gemmatimonas, Lysobacter, Flavisolibacter, and Chitinophaga were heavy metal-/metalloid-tolerant microbial groups with potential for bioremediation of the heavy metal/metalloid contaminated soils. However, the bacterial diversity was different for the different sites. The contents of heavy metal/metalloid species and the soil properties were studied to evaluate the effect on the soil bacterial communities. The Mantel test revealed that soil pH, total cadmium (T-Cd), and available arsenic played a vital role in determining the structure of the microbial communities. Further, we analyzed statistically the heavy metals/metalloids and the soil properties, and the results revealed that the microbial richness and diversity were regulated mainly by the soil properties, which correlated positively with organic matter and available nitrogen, while available phosphorus and available potassium were negatively correlated. The functional annotation of the prokaryotic taxa (FAPROTAX) method was used to predict the function of the microbial communities. Chemoheterotrophy and airborne chemoheterotrophy of the main microbial community functions were inhibited by soil pH and the heavy metals/metalloids, except in the case of available lead. Mantel tests revealed that T-Cd and available zinc were the dominant factors affecting the functions of the microbial communities. Overall, the research indicated that in contaminated soils, the presence of multiple heavy metals/metalloids, and the soil properties synergistically shaped the structure and function of the microbial communities.
