Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to iron(III) reduction, termed Feammox, is a newly discovered nitrogen cycling process. However, little known about the roles of electron shuttles in Feammox reactions. In this study, two forms Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxide ferrihydrite (ex situ and ferrihydrite) were used dissimilatory reduction (DIR) enrichments from paddy soil. Evidence for DIR was demonstrated using 15N-isotope tracing technique. The extent rate both 30N2–29N2 Fe(II) formation enhanced when...
A Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped bacterial strain, 12-OD1T, with rock phosphate solubilizing ability was isolated from agricultural soil in Hailun, Heilongjiang, PR China. The isolate affiliated to the genus Massilia, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence alignments, having highest similarities Massilia putida6 NM-7T (98.67 %), kyonggiensis TSA1T (98.28 norwichensis NS9T (98.07 respectively. DNA G+C content 67.72 mol% DNA-DNA hybridization showed low relatedness values (less than 47 %) between...
The ability to solubilize fixed inorganic phosphorus (P) for plant growth is important increasing crop yield. More P can be released by inoculating soil with inorganic-phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (iPSBs). We used 96-well microplates instead of traditional 200-mm petri dishes rapidly screen iPSB strains their solubilizing ability. simultaneously obtained 76 isolates from 576 wells containing two agricultural soils. This method conveniently identified positive and effectively prevented...
Lettuce is an important leafy vegetable that represents a significant dietary source of antioxidants and bioactive compounds. However, the levels metabolites in different lettuce cultivars are poorly characterized. In this study, we used combined GC × GC-TOF/MS UPLC-IMS-QTOF/MS to detect relatively quantify 30 representing large genetic diversity. Comparison with online databases, published literature, standards as well using collision cross-section values enabled putative identification 171...
Abstract Inorganic phosphate solubilizing bacteria (iPSB) are essential to facilitate phosphorus (P) mobilization in alkaline soil, however, the phylogenetic structure of iPSB communities remains poorly characterized. Thus, we use a reference database analyze distribution based on 16S rRNA gene illumina sequencing. Additionally, noval pqqC primer was developed quantify abundance. In our study, an soil with 27-year fertilization treatment selected. The percentage 1.10~2.87% per sample, and...
Soil amended with single biochar or nitrogen (N) fertilizer has frequently been reported to alter soil nitrification process due its impact on properties. However, little is known about the dynamic response of and ammonia-oxidizers combined application N in intensive vegetable soil. In this study, an incubation experiment was designed evaluate effects nitrification, abundance community shifts ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) Hangzhou greenhouse Results showed...
Abstract Soil pH is commonly considered a dominant factor affecting the function of microbiota. Few studies, however, have focused on communities bacteria able to solubilize inorganic phosphate (iPSB), which are important for mobilization soil phosphorus (P), because finding an effective method assess abundance and diversity iPSB difficult. We used newly reported database alignment quantified gene pqqC analyze compositions from five soils with gradients ranging 4 8. The community structure...
Increasing the bioavailability of immobilized phosphorus (P) in soil by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an effective strategy for sustainable agronomic use P and mitigating crisis. Here, D2O isotope labeling combined with single-cell Raman spectroscopy (Raman–D2O) was developed as efficient activity-based approach to characterizing presence activity PSB a culture-independent way. On basis finding that were significantly more active than non-PSB insoluble P, C–D band from...
Diets of soil-feeding earthworms contain abundant nitrate and iron(III) oxides, which are potential electron acceptors for mineralization organic compounds. The earthworm gut provides an ideal habitat ingested iron(III)-reducing microorganisms. However, little is known about reduction its interaction with other processes in the guts earthworms. Here, we determined dynamics revealed turnover acids Pheretima guillelmi. Samples from contents combined anoxic incubation were used chemical...
Global nitrogen (N) deposition has fundamentally reshaped plant nutrient acquisition by altering mechanistic trade-offs between root exploration-exploitation strategies and mycorrhizal symbiosis. Through a meta-analysis of 135 studies spanning 153 sites, we demonstrate that N stimulates exploration (+84.6% length density) exploitation (+13.2% content +8.5% biomass) while suppressing dependence (-32.8% biomass, -18.73% colonized length, -7.55% hyphal length), indicating systemic shift toward...
Although resistance genes are a global concern in ecosystems, the underlying factors responsible for their worldwide dissemination, especially urban greenspaces, poorly known. To investigate metal and (MRGs) accumulation parks, we used ICP-MS to analyze concentrations GeoChip functional gene arrays MRGs abundances vegetation types with labile recalcitrant litter across parks non-urban reference sites three distinct climatic regions: Boreal (Finland), Temperate (Baltimore, USA), Tropical...
Urbanization fundamentally reshapes terrestrial environments, leading to significant alterations in soil microbial communities which play crucial roles ecosystem functioning. This comprehensive study utilizes amplicon sequencing and GeoChip arrays assess how urbanization tree functional types impact the composition capacity of microbiota across various climatic zones, including boreal (Lahti, Finland), moderate (Baltimore, USA) tropical regions (Singapore). By comparing urban parks with...
Biochar contains quinones and aromatic structures that facilitate extracellular electron transfer between microbial cells insoluble minerals. In this study, granulated biochar (1.2-2 mm) powdered (<0.15 were amended to two ferrihydrite (
Abstract An increasingly urbanized world is one of the most prominent examples global environmental change. Across globe, urban parks are designed and managed in a similar way, resulting visually pleasing expansions lawn interspersed with individually planted trees varying appearances functional traits. These large greenspaces have capacity to provide various ecosystem services, including those associated soil physicochemical properties. Our aim was explore whether properties diverge...
