  • 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.

Precipitation and Particulate Matter Properties S1.1 Precipitation Categorization In this study, we have segregated our precipitation samples into four different categories, such as (1) snows, (2) hails/thunderstorms, (3) long-lasted rains, and (4) weak rains. For this categorization, we have considered both our observation-based as well as the disdrometer-assigned National Weather Service (NWS) 20 code. Initially, the precipitation samples had been assigned one of the four categories based on our manual observation. In the next step, we have used each NWS code and its occurrence in each precipitation sample to finalize the precipitation category. During this step, a precipitation sample was categorized into snow, only when we identified a snow type NWS code (Snow: S-, S, S+ and/or Snow Grains: SG). Likewise, a precipitation sample was categorized into hail/thunderstorm, only when the cumulative sum of NWS codes for hail was 25 counted more than five times (i.e., A + SP ≥ 5; where A and SP are the codes for soft hail and hail, respectively).

Page 1/23 Abstract Ginseng is an important cash crop. The long-term continuous cropping of ginseng causes the imbalance of soil environment and the exacerbation of soil-borne diseases, which affects the healthy development of ginseng industry. In this study, ginseng continuous cropping soil was treated with microbial inocula using broad-spectrum biocontrol microbial strain Frankia F1. Wheat straw, rice straw and corn straw were the best carrier materials for microbial inoculum. After treatment with microbial inoculum prepared with corn stalk biochar, the soil pH value, organic matter, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium were increased by 11.18%, 55.43%, 33.07%, 26.70%, 16.40%, and 9.10%, the activities of soil urease, catalase and sucrase increased by 52.73%, 16.80% and 43.80%, respectively. A Metagenomic showed that after the application of microbial inoculum prepared fromwith corn stalk biochar, soil microbial OTUs, Chao1 index, Shannon index, and Simpson index increased by 19.86%, 16.05%, 28.83%, and 3.16%, respectively.

Delineation of Clade1 and Clade3 from Clade2 was supported by robust clustering and high bootstrap values of more than 90% and 100% in all the phylogenetic methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity shared by Clade1 and Clade2 was 88 to 93%, Clade1 and Clade3 was 88 to 91% and Clade2 and Clade3 was 89 to 92%. Based on robust phylogenetic clustering, less than 93.0% sequence similarity, unique in silico restriction patterns, presence of distinct signature nucleotides and signature motifs in their 16S rRNA gene sequences, two more genera were carved to accommodate species of Clade1 and Clade3. The name Hymenobacter, sensu stricto, was retained to represent 17 species of Clade2. For members of Clade1 and Clade3, the names Siccationidurans gen. nov. and Parahymenobacter gen. nov. were proposed, respectively, and species belonging to Clade1 and Clade3 were transferred to their respective genera.

  • Soil Ph Is the Primary Factor Driving the Distribution and Function of Microorganisms in Farmland Soils in Northeastern China
    Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:1461–1473 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-019-01529-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Soil pH is the primary factor driving the distribution and function of microorganisms in farmland soils in northeastern China Cheng-yu Wang1 & Xue Zhou1 & Dan Guo1 & Jiang-hua Zhao1 & Li Yan1 & Guo-zhong Feng1 & Qiang Gao1 & Han Yu2 & Lan-po Zhao1 Received: 26 May 2019 /Accepted: 3 November 2019 /Published online: 19 December 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Purpose To understand which environmental factors influence the distribution and ecological functions of bacteria in agricultural soil. Method A broad range of farmland soils was sampled from 206 locations in Jilin province, China. We used 16S rRNA gene- based Illumina HiSeq sequencing to estimated soil bacterial community structure and functions. Result The dominant taxa in terms of abundance were found to be, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Proteobacteria. Bacterial communities were dominantly affected by soil pH, whereas soil organic carbon did not have a significant influence on bacterial communities. Soil pH was significantly positively correlated with bacterial opera- tional taxonomic unit abundance and soil bacterial α-diversity (P<0.05) spatially rather than with soil nutrients. Bacterial functions were estimated using FAPROTAX, and the relative abundance of anaerobic and aerobic chemoheterotrophs, and nitrifying bacteria was 27.66%, 26.14%, and 6.87%, respectively, of the total bacterial community. Generally, the results indicate that soil pH is more important than nutrients in shaping bacterial communities in agricultural soils, including their ecological functions and biogeographic distribution.

This article is published with open access Abstract Desert soils harbour diverse communities of aerobic bacteria despite lacking substantial organic carbon inputs from vegetation. A major question is therefore how these communities maintain their biodiversity and biomass in these resource-limiting ecosystems. Here, we investigated desert topsoils and biological soil crusts collected along an aridity gradient traversing four climatic regions (sub-humid, semi-arid, arid, and hyper-arid). Metagenomic analysis indicated these communities vary in their capacity to use sunlight, organic compounds, and inorganic compounds as energy sources. Thermoleophilia, Actinobacteria, and Acidimicrobiia 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: were the most abundant and prevalent bacterial classes across the aridity gradient in both topsoils and biocrusts. Contrary to the classical view that these taxa are obligate organoheterotrophs, genome-resolved analysis suggested they are metabolically flexible, withthecapacitytoalsouseatmosphericH2 to support aerobic respiration and often carbon fixation. In contrast, Cyanobacteria were patchily distributed and only abundant in certain biocrusts. Activity measurements profiled how aerobic H2 oxidation, chemosynthetic CO2 fixation, and photosynthesis varied with aridity. Cell-specific rates of atmospheric H2 consumption increased 143-fold along the aridity gradient, correlating with increased abundance of high-affinity hydrogenases. Photosynthetic and chemosynthetic primary production co-occurred throughout the gradient, with photosynthesis dominant in biocrusts and chemosynthesis dominant in arid and hyper-arid soils.
