Abstract Background Soil microbiomes are considered a cornerstone of the next green revolution, and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) critical for microbiome engineering. However, taking plant-beneficial microorganisms from discovery to agricultural application remains challenging, as mechanisms underlying interactions between beneficial strains plants in native soils still largely unknown. Increasing numbers studies have indicated that introduced manipulate usually eliminated soils,...
Abstract Engineering natural microbiomes for biotechnological applications remains challenging, as metabolic interactions within are largely unknown, and practical principles tools microbiome engineering still lacking. Here, we present a combinatory top-down bottom-up framework to engineer the construction of function-enhanced synthetic microbiomes. We show that application herbicide herbicide-degrader inoculation drives convergent succession different toward functional (e.g., enhanced...
Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affect multiple ecosystem functions and processes, the assemblages of which vary across ecosystems. However, influences environmental factors on AMF communities may shape these are still largely unknown. In this study, from roots rhizosphere soils Chenopodium ambrosioides in different natural were investigated. The root habitat showed significantly smaller numbers OTUs lower community richness compared to soil habitat. Most shared by same sampling...
The fungus Harpophora oryzae is a close relative of the pathogen Magnaporthe and beneficial endosymbiont wild rice. Here, we show that H. evolved from pathogenic ancestor. overall genomic structures M. were found to be similar. However, during interactions with rice, expression 11.7% all genes showed opposing trends in two fungi, suggesting differences gene regulation. Moreover, infection patterns, triggering host defense responses, signal transduction nutritional preferences exhibited...
Heavy metals (HMs) have become a major environmental pollutant threatening ecosystems and human health. Although hyperaccumulators provide viable alternative for the bioremediation of HMs, potential phytoremediation is often limited by small biomass slow growth rate HM toxicity to plants. Here, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB)-assisted was used enhance HM-contaminated soils. A PGPB with HM-tolerant (HMT-PGPB), Bacillus sp. PGP15 isolated from rhizosphere cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator,...
Previous studies have shown that germin-like proteins (GLPs) are present ubiquitously in rice and Arabidopsis. However, the understanding regarding their role development abiotic/biotic stress resistance remains limited. In study, we report genome-wide identification, characterisation, subcellular localization, enzyme activity, expression analysis of GLP gene family Arabidopsis to study functions. total, 43 32 GLPs genome were identified based on a systematic analysis, respectively. The...
Abstract Understanding the ancestral transition from anaerobic to aerobic lifestyles is essential for comprehending life’s early evolution. However, biological adaptations occurring during this crucial remain largely unexplored. Thiamine an important cofactor involved in central carbon metabolism and respiration. Here, we explored phylogenetic global distribution of thiamine-auxotrophic thiamine-prototrophic bacteria based on thiamine biosynthetic pathway 154 838 bacterial genomes. We...
Summary Tethyan plant disjunctions, including Mediterranean–African–Asian are thought to be vicariant, but their temporal origin and underlying causes remain largely unknown. To address this issue, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of S milax aspera , a hypothesized component European Tertiary laurel forest flora. Thirty‐eight populations herbarium specimens representing 57 locations across species range were sequenced at seven plastid regions nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed...
Abstract The rice endophyte Harpophora oryzae shares a common pathogenic ancestor with the blast fungus Magnaporthe . Direct comparison of interactions between single plant species and two closely-related (1) (2) mutualistic fungi can improve our understanding evolution plants that lead to either or interactions. Differences in metabolome transcriptome response challenge by H. M. were investigated GC-MS, RNA-seq qRT-PCR. Levels metabolites shikimate lignin biosynthesis pathways increased...
The worldwide use of the phenylurea herbicide, isoproturon (IPU), has resulted in considerable concern about its environmental fate. Although many microbial metabolites IPU are known and IPU-mineralizing bacteria have been isolated, molecular mechanism catabolism not elucidated yet. In this study, complete genes that encode conserved catabolic pathway were revealed, based on comparative analysis genomes three sphingomonads subsequent experimental validation. included a novel hydrolase gene...
Compositions of pollutant-catabolic consortia and interactions between community members greatly affect the efficiency pollutant catabolism. However, relationships structure catabolic function in remain largely unknown. In this study, an original enrichment (AT) capable degrading atrazine was obtained. And two enrichments - with a better/worse atrazine-degrading (ATB/ATW) were derived from AT by continuous sub-enrichment or without atrazine. Subsequently, Arthrobacter sp. strain, AT5, that...
Atrazine, a triazine herbicide, is widely used around the world. The residue of atrazine due to its application in fore-rotating crop maize has caused phytotoxicity following sweet potato China. Bioaugmentation atrazine-contaminated soil with atrazine-degrading strains considered as most potential method remove from soil. Nevertheless, feasibility bioaugmentation and effect on microbiome still need investigation. In this study, Paenarthrobacter sp. AT-5, an strain, was inoculated into...
Cigarette smoke exposure has a harmful impact on health and increases the risk of disease. However, studies cigarette-smoke-induced adverse effects from perspective gut–liver axis are lacking. In this study, we evaluated cigarette mice through physiological, biochemical, histopathological analyses explored gut microbiota imbalance changes in liver gene expression multiomics analysis. We demonstrated that caused abnormal physiological indices (including reduced body weight, blood lipids, food...
Phytoremediation of organic pollutant-contaminated sites using transgenic plants expressing bacterial enzyme has been well described. The major constraint transferred with a single catabolic gene is that they can also accumulate/release intermediates, still causing phytotoxicity or additional environmental problems. On the other hand, bioaugmentation degrading strains its drawbacks, including instability inoculated and low bioavailability pollutants. In this study, synergistic relationship...
Aspergillus includes both plant pathogenic and beneficial fungi. Although endophytes to plants have high potential for growth promotion improving stress tolerance, studies on endophytic lifestyles endophyte-plant interactions are still limited. Here, three belonging Aspergillus, AS31, AS33, AS42, were isolated. They could successfully colonize rice roots significantly improved growth. The genomes of strains AS42 sequenced compared with other species covering pathogens endophytes. 36.8, 34.8,...
Microbial communities play vital roles in biogeochemical cycles, allowing biodegradation of a wide range pollutants. Although many studies have shown the importance interspecies interactions on activities communities, fully elucidating complex microbial is still challenging. Here, we isolated consortium containing two bacterial strains (Acinetobacter sp. AG3 and Bacillus R45), which could mineralize bromoxynil octanoate (BO) with higher efficiency than either strain individually. The BO...
ABSTRACT Comamonas plasmids play important roles in shaping the phenotypes of their hosts and adaptation these to changing environments, understanding evolutionary strategy is thus great concern. In this study, sequence 119-kb 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile-catabolizing plasmid pBHB from sp. strain 7D-2 was studied compared with those three other haloaromatic catabolic plasmids. Incompatibility group determination based on a phylogenetic analysis 24 backbone gene proteins, as well TrfA,...
During infection, both phytopathogenic and endophytic fungi form intimate contact with living plant cells, need to resist or disable host defences modify metabolism adapt their host. Fungi can achieve these changes by secreting proteins enzymes. A comprehensive comparison of the secretomes pathogenic improve our understanding interactions between plants fungi. Although Magnaporthe oryzae, Gaeumannomyces graminis, M. poae are economically important fungal pathogens, related species Harpophora...
