Although the communities may be 35 36 22 well adapted to the presence of stressors, knowledge about microbial diversity in such soils is 37 38 23 scarce. Soil microbial community dynamics can be driven by the presence of plants, but the 39 24 impact of plant development on selection or diversification of microorganisms in these soils 40 41 25 has not been established yet. To test these hypotheses, aged-contaminated soil samples from a 42 43 26 field trial were collected. Plots planted with alfalfa were compared to bare soil plots, and 44 45 27 bacterial and fungal diversity and abundance were assessed after 2 and 6 years. Using 46 47 28 pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene and ITS amplicons, we showed that the bacterial 48 49 29 community was dominated by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes and was 50 30 characterized by low Acidobacteria abundance, while the fungal community was mainly 51 52 31 represented by members of the Ascomycota. The short-term toxic impact of pollutants usually 53 54 32 reduces the microbial diversity, yet in our samples bacterial and fungal species richness and 55 56 33 diversity was high suggesting that the community structure and diversity adapted to the 57 58 34 contaminated soil over decades. The presence of plants induced higher bacterial and fungal 59 35 diversity than in bare soil. It also increased the relative abundance of bacterial members of the 60 61 62 63 64 65 36 Actinomycetales, Rhizobiales and Xanthomonadales orders and of most fungal orders. 1 2 37 Multivariate analysis showed correlations between microbial community structure and heavy 3 38 metal and PAH concentrations over time, but also with edaphic parameters (C/N, pH, 4 5 39 phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations). 6 7 40 8 9 41 Key words: bacteria, fungi, PAH, heavy metals, rhizosphere, 454-pyrosequencing 10 11 42 12 13 43 1. Introduction 14 15 16 44 The decline of coal-mining activities has left behind large areas of industrial wasteland soils 17 45 that display high levels of multi-contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 18 19 46 and heavy metals (HMs) [1]. During the 20th century, industrial facilities such as gas or 20 21 47 coking plants caused chronic pollution of soils. After an ageing period, both PAHs and HMs 22 23 48 persisted in the environment due to their low availability/mobility and low 24 25 49 degradability/reactivity. Thus the high concentrations of pollutants and their toxicity have 26 27 50 been exerting a selection pressure on microorganisms for decades. These particular 28 51 environmental conditions potentially enabled the microbial community to adapt, and favored 29 30 52 microorganisms able of using pollutant as carbon source or tolerate pollutant by detoxification 31 32 53 mechanisms [2]; [3]. This long-term process should lead to the development of a new 33 34 54 microbial community diversity after a few decades [4]; [5]. Yet, little is known about the 35 36 55 impact of ancient contamination on microbial diversity in such aged multi-polluted soils. 37 38 56 Most studies focus on the short-term modifications of microbial diversity following recent 39 57 contamination events, mainly in laboratory experiments (i.e. spiking of unpolluted soils) 40 41 58 [8];[9];[10]. Environmental conditions and edaphic parameters are components that shape the 42 43 59 soil microbial communities [11]. Similarly, chronic pollution could also be an important 44 45 60 parameter that can select soil microbial diversity. While the short-term impact of 46 47 61 contamination tends to decrease microbial abundance, richness and diversity, we 48 49 62 hypothesized that in an aged multi-contaminated soil the microbial community would adapt 50 63 over time toward a unique and rich diversity pattern [4]; [5]. 51 52 53 64 Some studies show that vegetation can help to restore contaminated environments. 54 55 65 Phytoremediation strategies have been developed based on plants’ contribution to the 56 57 66 stabilization, extraction and degradation of pollutants [12]. While shaping microbial diversity 58 59 67 by stimulating some microbial populations, plant root exudates could favor PAH degradation 60 61 62 63 64 65 68 through rhizodegradation processes [13];[14];[15] and modify HM speciation, mobility and 1 2 69 availability [12] in the rhizosphere. Among different plant species used in rhizoremediation 3 70 assays, alfalfa is described as tolerant to pollution and interesting for PAH remediation 4 5 71 [16];[17], similarly to other legumes such as red lentil [18]. A contribution of mycorrhizal 6 7 72 colonization of plant roots to PAH dissipation [19] and HM tolerance [20] has also been 8 9 73 shown. There is an effect of plants on soil microbial biomass and diversity because vegetal 10 11 74 litter or residues bring complex organic matter into soils [21] and also pose the question of 12 13 75 selection or diversification of microorganisms. As most studies focus on one particular 14 76 microbial function or population, little is known about the impact of plants and the effect of 15 16 77 the rhizosphere on bacterial and fungal richness and diversity in multi-contaminated soils. A 17 18 78 dramatic shift in the bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere of sunflower in a 19 20 79 creosote-contaminated soil was demonstrated in a pot experiment after 90 days in the 21 22 80 greenhouse during PAH-degradation [22]. Although fungal community dynamic is mainly 23 24 81 driven by plants [23], the diversity of this microbial community needs to be explored. Overall, 25 82 as the rhizosphere effect could modify soil parameters and fate of pollutants, there is still a 26 27 83 need to study the long-term impact of plants in comparison to bare soil, on shaping the 28 29 84 microbial communities during natural attenuation processes of aged multi-contaminated soils. 30 31 85 It is well established that environmental parameters impact microbial community composition 32 33 86 [11]. Although bacteria and fungi are in constant interaction in soils [24], these two 34 35 87 components of the microbial community have a different ecology (e.g. nutrient and carbon 36 88 source requirement, growth rate…) and respond differently to environmental conditions and 37 38 89 stressors. To study the system as a whole, bacterial and fungal diversity must be studied 39 40 90 together. To our knowledge, no study has yet evaluated how plants and edaphic parameters 41 42 91 drive both fungal and bacterial diversity of a multi-contaminated soil on the long term. 43 44 45 92 In this context, the aims of our study were to (1) describe the diversity of bacterial and fungal 46 47 93 communities in an aged multi-contaminated soil from a former coking plant site (Neuves- 48 94 Maisons, France), (2) determine the impact of plant development on microbial richness and 49 50 95 diversity, (3) characterize the temporal modifications of microbial diversity according to 51 52 96 evolution of edaphic parameters over 6 years. To address this issue, we collected soil samples 53 54 97 from a field trial where a long-term plant-assisted natural attenuation experiment was being 55 56 98 conducted [25].

BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

  • New Species and Changes in Fungal Taxonomy and Nomenclature
    Journal of Fungi Review From the Clinical Mycology Laboratory: New Species and Changes in Fungal Taxonomy and Nomenclature Nathan P. Wiederhold * and Connie F. C. Gibas Fungus Testing Laboratory, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78229, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 October 2018; Accepted: 13 December 2018; Published: 16 December 2018 Abstract: Fungal taxonomy is the branch of mycology by which we classify and group fungi based on similarities or differences. Historically, this was done by morphologic characteristics and other phenotypic traits. However, with the advent of the molecular age in mycology, phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequences has replaced these classic means for grouping related species. This, along with the abandonment of the dual nomenclature system, has led to a marked increase in the number of new species and reclassification of known species. Although these evaluations and changes are necessary to move the field forward, there is concern among medical mycologists that the rapidity by which fungal nomenclature is changing could cause confusion in the clinical literature. Thus, there is a proposal to allow medical mycologists to adopt changes in taxonomy and nomenclature at a slower pace. In this review, changes in the taxonomy and nomenclature of medically relevant fungi will be discussed along with the impact this may have on clinicians and patient care. Specific examples of changes and current controversies will also be given. Keywords: taxonomy; fungal nomenclature; phylogenetics; species complex 1. Introduction Kingdom Fungi is a large and diverse group of organisms for which our knowledge is rapidly expanding.

Wertrauen sie auf ihr größtes Gut — ihre Freunde und Familie. Nutgen sie ihre Schwächen, um neue Stärken gu finden. Soll Zuversicht ihr Kompass sein! Summary In the oceans, microbial mats formed by chemosynthetic sulfide-oxidizing bacteria are mostly found in so-called ‘reduced habitats’ that are characterized by chemoclines where energy-rich, reduced substances, like hydrogen sulfide, are transported into oxic or suboxic zones. There, these organisms often thrive in narrow zones or gradients of their electron donor (sulfide) and their electron acceptor (mostly oxygen or nitrate). Through the build up of large biomasses, mat-forming sulfide oxidizers may significantly contribute to primary production in their habitats and dense mats represent efficient benthic filters against the toxic gas hydrogen sulfide. As gradient organisms, these mat-forming sulfide oxidizers seem to be adapted to very defined ecological niches with respect to oxygen (or nitrate) and sulfide gradients. However, many aspects regarding their diversity as well as their geological drivers in marine sulfidic habitats required further investigation.

This fungus 15 exhibits limited susceptibility to all current antifungals and, due its emerging 16 character, its pathogeny and virulence factors remain largely unknown. 17 Carbohydrate binding proteins such as lectins are involved in host-pathogen 18 interactions and may constitute valuable therapeutic targets to inhibit microbial 19 adhesion to the host cells by using carbohydrate mimics. However, such lectins are 20 still unidentified in S. apiospermum. Here, we present the first report of the 21 identification and characterization of a lectin from S.
