Distribution characteristics and factors influencing microbial communities in the core soils of a seawater intrusion area in Longkou City,China

Microbes live throughout the soil profile. Microbial communities in subsurface horizons are impacted by a saltwater–freshwater transition zone formed by seawater intrusion (SWI) in coastal regions. The main purpose of this study is to explore the changes in microbial communities within the soil profile because of SWI. The study characterizes the depth-dependent distributions of bacterial and archaeal communities through high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons by collecting surface soil and deep core samples at nine soil depths in Longkou City, China. The results showed that although microbial communities were considerably impacted by SWI in both horizontal and vertical domains, the extent of these effects was variable. The soil depth strongly influenced the microbial communities, and the microbial diversity and community structure were significantly different (p < 0.05) at various depths. Compared with SWI, soil depth was a greater influencing factor for microbial diversity and community structure. Furthermore, soil microbial community structure was closely related to the environmental conditions, among which the most significant environmental factors were soil depth, pH, organic carbon, and total nitrogen.

     

退化喀斯特植被恢复过程中土壤生态肥力质量评价——以贵州花江喀斯特峡谷地区为例

应用多元统计分析方法,建立能够揭示退化喀斯特植被恢复对土壤微生态影响效果的生物学指标评价体系.研究结果表明:细菌、真菌、放线菌、微生物总数等微生物活性指标在评价土壤生物学肥力质量时具有十分重要的作用;氨化细菌数量、微生物熵、代谢熵等微生物活性指标在土壤生物学肥力评价中也具有一定的作用,但对土壤肥力质量评价的影响较小.利用土壤综合肥力指标值综合评价结果表明,不同退化喀斯特植被恢复阶段土壤生物学肥力具有明显的垂直变化特征,均表现A层>B层的特点,这说明各恢复阶段的土壤生物学肥力具有随土壤层次加深而下降的变化趋势.同时,从裸地阶段→草本群落阶段→灌木群落阶段一乔木群落阶段,由于土壤物质循环逐渐加快,微生物活性逐渐增强,土壤生物学肥力逐步提高.

青藏高原北麓河地区荒漠草原土壤细菌对热融滑塌的响应

多年冻土区地下冰融化造成的热融滑塌会对土壤理化性质产生一系列影响,进而影响微生物群落结构,但目前热融滑塌对荒漠草原区土壤微生物的影响还不清楚。利用Illumina测序方法,以青藏高原北麓河多年冻土区发生热融滑塌的荒漠草原为研究对象,对3种微地貌（对照区、滑塌区、沉降区）下的土壤细菌展开研究,分析了细菌群落结构及其与环境因子间的关系。结果显示滑塌区和沉降区有机碳含量显著低于对照区,滑塌区土壤含水量最高;放线菌门、变形菌门、绿弯菌门和酸杆菌门是3种微地貌下的优势菌群,对照区细菌群落丰富度显著低于滑塌区。Mantel检验表明,细菌群落结构与土壤理化性质间无显著相关性;非度量多维尺度分析（NMDS）表明,微生物群落结构在3种微地貌下显著不同。研究结果表明,在荒漠草原区,热融滑塌会改变土壤理化性质,影响细菌特定门的微生物相对丰度,但对门水平的整体群落结构影响不显著。

农业作为通辽科尔沁地区的传统产业,是当地重要经济产业之一.了解土壤微生物群落结构和功能及其影响因素对农作物种植、污染土地修复等具有重要意义.采用Illumina Miseq高通量测序技术、FAPROTAX.1.1功能预测平台等方法,在该区采集71个土壤样品,分析其地球化学特征和微生物群落特征并对微生物群落进行功能预测,同时探讨不同环境因子和空间因子对微生物群落的影响.结果显示:微生物群落由变形菌门（Proteobacteria）（19.77%）、奇古菌门（Thaumarchaeota）（17.85%）、酸杆菌门（Acidobacteria）（17.14%）和放线菌门（Actinobacteria）（15.58%）等构成;功能预测表明该区存在大量活跃的参与氮循环过程的微生物功能群,其中有氧氨氧化功能群为该区的优势微生物功能群.方差分解分析显示,在对微生物群落结构差异的可解释范围内环境因子比空间因子的解释量更大.Mantel检验结果显示,整体微生物群落与土壤pH、EC、TN、C/N及Mg、Na、Sr元素含量显著相关（p < 0.05）.综合分析表明,pH、EC和Sr元素含量是影响通辽科尔沁地区土壤微生物群落结构和功能及多样性的主要环境因素.      

Effect of co-existing plant specie on soil microbial activity under heavy metal stress

The influence of plant primary compounds on the activity of soil microbial communities under heavy metal stress was studied in a pot-culture field experiment conducted in a green house. Amaranthus spinosus was cultivated in an agricultural soil previously amended in the laboratory with solutions of different trace elements in two separate treatment modes: singly and in combination. Culture-independent metabolism based indices such as the rate of carbon and nitrogen mineralization, microbial biomass carbon and soil basal respiration were monitored fortnightly over a period of six weeks. Result shows that plant detritus have significant modifying effect on soil microbe-metal interactions. Data on microbial and biochemical processes in the respective mesocosms did not vary from control; not even in mesocosms containing very high concentrations of copper, zinc and nickel. The soil microbial biomass carbon and the rate of carbon and nitrogen cycling were not impeded by the respective metal treatment while the respiration responses increased as a result of increase in metabolic activity of the soil microbes. The plant based substrates enabled the soil microflora to resist high metal contamination because of its tendency to absorb large amounts of inorganic cations.     

退化喀斯特植被恢复过程中土壤微生物活性研究——以贵州花江地区为例

退化喀斯特植被的恢复机理一直是近年来土壤学和生态学研究的热点。通过分析退化喀斯特植被恢复过程中土壤微生物数量、土壤生化作用强度、土壤微生物生物量,研究了贵州花江喀斯特高原生态综合治理示范区内土壤微生物活性的变化。结果表明:退化喀斯特植被恢复过程中土壤的微生物活性存在较大差异。随着退化喀斯特植被的恢复,土壤细菌、真菌、放线菌三大微生物数量及微生物总数明显上升,表现为乔木群落阶段〉灌木群落阶段〉草本群落阶段〉裸地阶段,且细菌较真菌和放线菌相比占绝对优势,其在微生物总数中分别占95．95％,93．49％,92．32％和92．48％;各主要生理类群的数量呈上升趋势,且氨化细菌〉固氮菌〉纤维素分解菌〉硝化细菌,土壤生化作用强度增强;土壤微生物生物量碳明显增加,微生物生物量碳与土壤有机碳（P〈0．01）呈显著正相关关系。土壤微生物是表征退化喀斯特植被恢复过程中土壤质量的重要特征之一,反映出随着退化喀斯特植被的恢复土壤质量也在逐渐恢复。      

红壤中微生物群落对半导体矿物日光催化作用的响应

本研究选取天然红壤作为研究对象,分析其中的含铁半导体矿物光催化作用对本源微生物群落结构的影响。采用聚 合酶链式反应/变性梯度凝胶电泳（PCR-DGGE）,研究了不同原始光照条件的红壤中微生物群落在外源电子作用下群落结 构的改变。DGGE图谱的主成分分析表明,两个不同原始光照环境的土壤样品的微生物群落结构由于原始环境的差异而不同： 原始环境为强光照的样品中微生物群落结构受外源电子影响较小;原始环境为弱光照的样品中微生物群落结构受外源电子 影响较大。这一群落结构改变的差异可能由于原始环境为强光照时半导体矿物光催化作用产生光生电子传递到环境中持续 影响周围的微生物群落,而原始弱光照环境中则缺少光生电子的作用。     

采煤扰动对土壤理化性状影响及微生物群落响应机制

采煤造成黄河流域一带生态环境问题日趋严重。为了探明采煤扰动对黄河流域一带土壤因子及微生物群落的扰动特征,阐明采煤沉陷边缘区域与未开采区域土壤微生物群落的差异性,以内蒙古上湾煤矿为研究区,选择以沉陷边缘区作为起始区域(HD),向未开采区进行等距取样。选择距沉陷边缘区150(D1)、300(D2)、450(D3)、600(D4)及750 m(D5)作为采样点,测定营养指标、土壤酶及土壤C∶N∶P化学计量特征3种土壤因子和微生物群落特征。结果表明,边缘沉陷区与未开采区土壤因子及微生物多样性的差异主要集中在距边缘沉陷区较近(小于300 m)的未开采区。在靠近边缘沉陷区,全氮、土壤有机质含量以及细菌丰度产生不同程度下降,速效钾、碳氮比(C/N)、蔗糖酶及磷酸酶活性有不同程度上升。群落组成方面,酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)相对丰度在未开采区随距离呈现先增大后降低趋势,绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)表现为边缘沉陷区高于未开采区;Phaeosphaeriaceae、毛壳菌科(Chaetomiaceae)相对丰度表现为边缘沉陷区显著高于未开采区。研究发现,边缘沉陷区对未开采区的影响主要集中...     

Combined effects of cadmium and butachlor on soil enzyme activities and microbial community structure

The combined effects of cadmium (Cd, 10 mg/kg of soil) and butachlor (5, 10 and 50 mg/kg of soil) on enzyme activities and microbial community structure were assessed in phaeozem soil. The result showed that phosphatase activities were decreased in soils with Cd (10 mg/kg of soil) alone whereas urease acitivities were unaffected by Cd. Urease and phosphatase activities were significantly reduced by high butachlor concentration (50 mg/kg of soil). When Cd and butachlor concentrations in soils were added at milligram ratio of 2:1 or 1:2, urease and phosphatase activities were decreased, while enzyme activities were greatly improved at the ratio of 1:5. This study indicates that the combined effects of Cd and butachlor on soil urease and phosphatase activities depend largely on the addition concentration ratios to soils. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis showed that the changes occurring in RAPD profiles of different treated samples included variation in loss of normal bands and appearance of new bands compared with the control soil. The RAPD fingerprints showed substantial differences between the control and treated soil samples, with apparent changes in the number and size of amplified DNA fragments. The results showed that the addition of high concentration butachlor and the combined applied Cd and butachlor significantly affected the diversity of microbial community. The present results suggest that RAPD analysis in conjunction with other biomarkers such as soil enzyme parameter etc. would prove a powerful ecotoxicological tool.     

Benefits of flavonoids and straw mulch application on soil microbial activity in pea rhizosphere

The importance of flavonoids in rhizosphere–legumes symbiosis has been recognized as critical. However, the limited data are available about their impact on soil microbial communities. In rhizosphere, it remains unclear whether flavonoids, mulch or their joint effects influence on soil microbial diversity and enzymes activity. Therefore, in this study, the effects of flavonoids and straw mulching on soil microbial functional diversity, fungi abundance and enzymes activity (dehydrogenases, protease, acid phosphomonoesterase) in pea rhizosphere were evaluated. The field study was conducted in Lublin, Poland (51°15′N, 22°35′E), on a Haplic Luvisol. Flavonoids were applied on pea seeds and after sowing soil surface was covered with straw mulch. In soil rhizosphere sampled three times during the vegetative period of pea were determined: dehydrogenases, protease and acid phosphomonoesterase activities, metabolic potential of soil bacteria, microbes number and predominant fungal species. The results showed that dehydrogenases and protease activities were significantly increased with time during pea growing season. Significant increase in dehydrogenases activity was observed after flavonoids and mulch influence. There was no impact of studied factors on acid phosphomonoesterase. The effects of flavonoids and mulch on biodiversity indices were related to sampling terms. Straw mulching increased potentially antagonistic fungi in pea rhizosphere. The results of this study can be useful in understanding the effects of flavonoids and mulch on microbial activity and dynamics in pea rhizosphere which is very important in soil quality and crop production.

氨氮污染源区包气带剖面微生物生态分布特征的研究

包气带土壤中氨氮污染迁移规律已成为近年来国内外学者研究的重点,目前在氨氮污染迁移规律研究中采用柱实验模拟以及软件模拟的方法较多,土壤生物技术则广泛应用于污染物降解领域,而在污染物迁移规律研究中应用较少。本文采用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)技术、16S rRNA序列分析技术以及典范对应分析相结合,对华北平原3个典型氨氮污染区土壤表层至包气带剖面微环境的细菌垂直分布特征及群落结构进行研究。结合污染区土壤理化性质分析,认为包气带土壤剖面的细菌群落中存在着与氮循环、硫酸盐代谢等过程偶联的优势细菌类群,说明土壤微环境中细菌群落分布明显受氨态氮、硝态氮、亚硝态氮和硫酸盐的分布影响,进一步表明污染土壤优势菌群的群落结构信息是描述包气带土壤环境氨氮污染物迁移规律的重要参数。     

Effects of seawater irrigation on soil microbial community structure and physiological function

Irrigation with diluted seawater would be an alternative water resource which can play an important role under scarce resources of freshwater for promoting agricultural production in coastal areas. Salvadora persica Linn. was irrigated with different concentrations of seawater (0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 % seawater), and their effect on plant growth, nutrient contents in soil and plants, shift in soil microbial community structure (phospholipid fatty acid; PLFA) and community-level physiological profiling (CLPP, Biolog ECO MicroPlate) were studied. Plant dry matter was significantly increased with all seawater treatments, and highest increase was at 20 % seawater treatment. Sodium and chloride contents were significantly increased, whereas ratios of K/Na and Ca/Na were significantly decreased in plants with seawater irrigation. Soil electrical conductivity (EC), available K and Na were significantly increased with increasing the concentration of seawater. Total PLFA concentration and PLFA profile of soils were used as indices of total microbial biomass and community composition, respectively. The concentrations of total PLFA, gram-positive, gram-negative and actinomycetes biomarker PLFAs were significantly reduced at 20, 40, 80 and 40 % concentrations of seawater, respectively. The application of different concentrations of seawater induced a clear shift in the soil microbial community structure toward the bacterial abundance. The microbial community structure and community-level physiological profiling in seawater irrigation treatments had significantly differentiated. It can be concluded that irrigation with different concentrations of seawater had significant impact on soil chemical and microbial properties which is attributed due to the salinity stress.     

Variable effects of labile carbon on the carbon use of different microbial groups in black slate degradation

Weathering of ancient organic matter contributes significantly to biogeochemical carbon cycles over geological times. The principle role of microorganisms in this process is well recognized. However, information is lacking on the contribution of individual groups of microorganisms and on the effect of labile carbon sources to the degradation process. Therefore, we investigated the contribution of fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in the degradation process using a column experiment. Investigations were performed on low metamorphic black slates. All columns contained freshly crushed, sieved (0.63-2 mm), not autoclaved black slates. Two columns were inoculated with the lignite-degrading fungus Schizophyllum commune and received a culture medium containing ¹³C labeled glucose, two columns received only this culture medium and two control columns received only water.The total mass balance was calculated from all carbon added to the slate and the CO₂ and DOC losses. Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) were extracted to investigate microbial communities. We used both the compound specific ¹⁴C and ¹³C signal of the PLFA to quantify carbon uptake from black slates and the glucose of the culture medium, respectively.The total carbon loss in these columns exceeded the amount of added carbon by approximately 60%, indicating that black slate carbon has been used. PLFA associated with Gram-positive bacteria dominated the indigenous community and took up 22% of carbon from black slate carbon, whereas PLFA of Gram-negative bacteria used only 8% of carbon from the slates. PLFA of Gram-negative bacteria and fungi were both mostly activated by the glucose addition. The added Schizophyllum did not establish well in the columns and was overgrown by the indigenous microbial community. Our results suggest that especially Gram-positive bacteria are able to live on and degrade black slate material. They also benefit from easy degradable carbon from the nutrient broth. In natural environments priming due to root exudates might consequently enhance weathering.     

离心操作对BIOLOG法测定微生物群落功能多样性的影响

陆地生态系统的有机质分解是地球系统碳循环的重要环节,但目前人们对这一过程的认知程度尚待提高,原因之一是对植物凋落物分解时微生物群落功能多样性的变化缺乏系统认识.如能将BIOLOG微平板法引入植物凋落物降解初期的研究中,将弥补这一重要环节的缺失.但当前对如何在降解初期研究中应用这一方法、尤其是对于在预处理过程中是否应进行离心操作并无定论.为此,笔者选用北京桦树林区凋落物的淋洗液为接种液,考察离心操作对BIOLOG微平板法测定结果的影响.研究发现:离心操作能减小培养液的浊度(吸光度减小0.13)、降低溶液颜色对微孔显色程度的干扰,但也会导致测得的微生物群落数量减少(平均颜色变化率可降低约0.4);样品中微生物群落数量越小,群落功能多样性受影响的程度则越大.因此,在选择是否进行离心操作时,需针对具体的研究对象综合选择.
