Pieper, Ramón Rosselló-Móra, Jesús Sánchez, Jana Seifert and Manuel Ferrer 10 Supporting Online Material includes Text (Supporting Materials and Methods) Tables S1 to S9 Figures S1 to S7 1 SUPPORTING TEXT Supporting Materials and Methods Soil characterisation Soil pH was measured in a suspension of soil and water (1:2.5) with a glass electrode, and 5 electrical conductivity was measured in the same extract (diluted 1:5). Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co.

  • Enrichment of Beneficial Cucumber Rhizosphere Microbes Mediated By
    Wen et al. Horticulture Research (2020) 7:154 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-00380-3 www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access Enrichment of beneficial cucumber rhizosphere microbes mediated by organic acid secretion Tao Wen1,JunYuan1, Xiaoming He2,YueLin2,QiweiHuang1 andQirongShen 1 Abstract Resistant cultivars have played important roles in controlling Fusarium wilt disease, but the roles of rhizosphere interactions among different levels of resistant cultivars are still unknown. Here, two phenotypes of cucumber, one resistant and one with increased susceptibility to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum (Foc), were grown in the soil and hydroponically, and then 16S rRNA gene sequencing and nontargeted metabolomics techniques were used to investigate rhizosphere microflora and root exudate profiles. Relatively high microbial community evenness for the Foc-susceptible cultivar was detected, and the relative abundances of Comamonadaceae and Xanthomonadaceae were higher for the Foc-susceptible cultivar than for the other cultivar. FishTaco analysis revealed that specific functional traits, such as protein synthesis and secretion, bacterial chemotaxis, and small organic acid metabolism pathways, were significantly upregulated in the rhizobacterial community of the Foc-susceptible cultivar. A machine- learning approach in conjunction with FishTaco plus metabolic pathway analysis revealed that four organic acids (citric acid, pyruvate acid, succinic acid, and fumarate) were released at higher abundance by the Foc-susceptible cultivar compared with the resistant cultivar, which may be responsible for the recruitment of Comamonadaceae, a potential beneficial microbial group. Further validation demonstrated that Comamonadaceae can be “cultured” by these organic acids. Together, compared with the resistant cultivar, the susceptible cucumber tends to assemble beneficial microbes by secreting more organic acids.

  • Characterization of Endophytic Bacterial Strains Isolated from Rice Grain Discoloration
    Characterization of Endophytic Bacterial Strains Isolated from Rice Grain Discoloration Muhammad Ashfaq*, Muhammad Saleem Haider, Amna Ali, Sehrish Mushtaq, Muhammad Ali and Urooj Mubashar Institute of Agricultural Sciences. University of the Punjab, Quaid-E-Azam campus, Lahore 54590 Pakistan. Government Elementary Teachers Education College,Ghakkhar Mandi, Gujranwala, Pakistan Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study was conducted to isolate bacterial species obtained from different rice varieties: Kainat, Basmati-385, Super basmati, Basmati 86, KSK-133, Basmati-198, Basmati- 2000x1053-2-2, Kasur, Stg 567989 and Basmati-2000x33797-1 collected from all agro ecological zones of Pakistan. When plated infected grain samples gave various bacterial colonies on Luria Bertani (L.B) agar medium. The isolates were identified on the basis of various morphological and biochemical features. Out of 22 isolates, five showed rod cell shape in microscope. Sixteen biochemical tests were conducted to characterize 22 isolates of bacteria. Gram stain demonstrated that three isolates were gram positive and rod shaped. All other isolates were gram negative. The presence of bacteria was also estimated in ten different varieties of rice. The highest presence of bacteria was observed in KSK-133, Kainat and Stg 567989. Burkholderia species and Enterobacter species have high frequency almost in all tested rice varieties. The overall objective of this study was to screen, classify and associate the bacterial species present on the basis of various morphological characteristics isolated from diverse rice [SYLWAN., 158(8)]. ISI Indexed 165 genotype. The results demonstrated that collected and investigated rice varieties have a diverse range of bacterial species, some of which are considered as severe pathogens for plants.

  • Drylands Soil Bacterial Community Is Affected by Land Use Change and Different Irrigation Practices in the Mezquital Valley
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Drylands soil bacterial community is afected by land use change and diferent irrigation practices in the Received: 23 June 2017 Accepted: 3 January 2018 Mezquital Valley, Mexico Published: xx xx xxxx Kathia Lüneberg1, Dominik Schneider2, Christina Siebe1 & Rolf Daniel 2 Dryland agriculture nourishes one third of global population, although crop irrigation is often mandatory. As freshwater sources are scarce, treated and untreated wastewater is increasingly used for irrigation. Here, we investigated how the transformation of semiarid shrubland into rainfed farming or irrigated agriculture with freshwater, dam-stored or untreated wastewater afects the total (DNA-based) and active (RNA-based) soil bacterial community composition, diversity, and functionality. To do this we collected soil samples during the dry and rainy seasons and isolated DNA and RNA. Soil moisture, sodium content and pH were the strongest drivers of the bacterial community composition. We found lineage-specifc adaptations to drought and sodium content in specifc land use systems. Predicted functionality profles revealed gene abundances involved in nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous cycles difered among land use systems and season. Freshwater irrigated bacterial community is taxonomically and functionally susceptible to seasonal environmental changes, while wastewater irrigated ones are taxonomically susceptible but functionally resistant to them. Additionally, we identifed potentially harmful human and phytopathogens. The analyses of 16 S rRNA genes, its transcripts and deduced functional profles provided extensive understanding of the short- term and long-term responses of bacterial communities associated to land use, seasonality, and water quality used for irrigation in drylands. Drylands are defned as regions with arid, semi-arid, and dry sub humid climate with an annual precipitation/ evapotranspiration potential ratio (P/PET)1 ranging from 0.05 to 0.652.

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is the indicate that GlpdAc is involved in glycerol metabolism enzyme involved in glycerol production from glucose and other mechanisms, including virulence, demon- during glycolysis. In this study, we report the functions strating that the protein has pleiotropic effects. Our of a putative glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in study expands the understanding of the functions of Ac (GlpdAc) using comparative proteomic analysis and proteins associated with virulence in Ac.
