Protecting plants from the inside out Some soils show a remarkable ability to suppress disease caused by plant pathogens, an that is attributed plant-associated microbiota. Carrión et al. investigated role of endophytes, intimate microbial community found within roots, in fungal suppression (see Perspective Tringe). The wilt fungus Rhizoctonia solani infects sugar beets, whereupon transcriptional analysis shows several bacterial endophyte species activate biosynthetic gene clusters cause...
Soil abiotic and biotic interactions govern important ecosystem processes. However, the mechanisms behind these are complex, links between specific environmental factors, microbial community structures, functions not well understood. Here, we applied DNA shotgun metagenomic techniques to investigate effect of inorganic fertilizers N, P, K, NPK on bacterial composition potential in grassland soils a 54-year experiment. Differences total available nutrients were found treatment soils;...
Abstract Slash‐and‐burn clearing of forest typically results in increase soil nutrient availability. However, the impact these nutrients on microbiome is not known. Using next generation sequencing 16S rRNA gene and shotgun metagenomic DNA , we compared structure potential functions bacterial community soils to deforested Amazon region related differences chemical factors. Deforestation decreased organic matter content factors linked acidity raised pH base saturation exchangeable bases....
Though bacteria and fungi are common inhabitants of decaying wood, little is known about the relationship between bacterial fungal community dynamics during natural wood decay. Based on previous studies involving inoculated blocks, strong selection abundance composition was expected to occur Here, we focused compositions in pine samples collected from dead trees different stages decomposition. We showed that communities undergo less drastic changes than Furthermore, found assembly a...
Abstract Selective logging and forest conversion to oil palm agriculture are rapidly altering tropical forests. However, functional responses of the soil microbiome these land‐use changes poorly understood. Using 16S rRNA gene shotgun metagenomic sequencing, we compared composition attributes biota between unlogged, once‐logged twice‐logged rainforest, areas converted plantations in Sabah, Borneo. Although there was no significant effect history, found a difference taxonomic both primary...
We evaluated the bacterial and archaeal community dynamics assembly in soils under forest, grassland no-till cropping, using a high-throughput shotgun metagenomics approach. No significant alterations alpha diversity were observed among different land uses, but beta was lower than that forest soils. Grassland communities showed predominantly followed neutral model, i.e. high homogenizing selection with moderate dispersion, leading to biotic homogenization. Both soil found have niche low...
ABSTRACT Plants modulate the soil microbiota by root exudation assembling a complex rhizosphere microbiome with organisms spanning different trophic levels. Here, we assessed diversity of bacterial, fungal and cercozoan communities in landraces modern varieties wheat. The dominant taxa within each group were bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria Acidobacteria; fungi Ascomycota, Chytridiomycota Basidiomycota; Cercozoa classes Sarcomonadea, Thecofilosea Imbricatea. We showed that...
Mangrove-associated bacteria are of industrial interest due to their diverse and versatile enzyme properties. This study investigates the culturable from a wide range habitat in
Plants rely on their root microbiome as the first line of defense against soil-borne fungal pathogens. The abundance and activities beneficial microbial taxa at time prior to during infection are key protective success. If how invading pathogens can disrupt assembly gene expression is still largely unknown. Here, we investigated impact pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (fox) rhizosphere endosphere microbiomes a fox-susceptible fox-resistant common bean cultivar.Integration 16S-amplicon, shotgun...
Abstract Biodiversity underlies ecosystem functioning. While aboveground biodiversity is often well studied, the belowground microbiome, in particular protists, remains largely unknown. Indeed, holistic insights into soil microbiome structures natural soils, especially hyperdiverse biomes such as Brazilian Cerrado, remain unexplored. Here, we study across four major vegetation zones of ranging from grass-dominated to tree-dominated with a focus on protists. We show that protist taxon...
Amazon rainforest has been subjected to particularly high rates of deforestation caused mainly by the expansion cattle pasture and agriculture. A commonly observed response land-use change is a negative impact on biodiversity plant animal species. However, its effect soil microbial community ecosystem functioning still poorly understood. Here, we used DNA metagenomic sequencing approach investigate composition potential functions in three systems (primary forest, secondary forest) region. In...
