Plants can recruit microorganisms to enhance soil arsenic (As) removal and nitrogen (N) turnover, but how microbial As methylation in the rhizosphere is affected by N biotransformation not well understood. Here, we used acetylene reduction assay, arsM gene amplicon, metagenome sequencing evaluate influence of on Vetiveria zizanioides, a potential hyperaccumulator. V. zizanioides was grown mining soils (MS) artificial As-contaminated (AS) over two generations controlled pot experiment....
Abstract Mangrove roots harbor a repertoire of microbial taxa that contribute to important ecological functions in mangrove ecosystems. However, the diversity, function, and assembly root-associated communities along continuous fine-scale niche remain elusive. Here, we applied amplicon metagenome sequencing investigate bacterial fungal among four compartments (nonrhizosphere, rhizosphere, episphere, endosphere) roots. We found different distribution patterns for both all root compartments,...
Nano- and microplastics have become a serious global concern, threatening our living environments. Previous studies shown that many organisms, including bacteria, animals, plants, can be affected by microplastics. However, little is known about one ecologically important group of soil the protists. In this study, we investigated how polystyrene micro- nanoplastics interacted with amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The results showed environmental concentrations nano- could negatively affect...
Suspended particulate matter (SPM) contributes to the loss of reactive nitrogen (Nr) in estuarine ecosystems. Although denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation SPM compensate for current imbalance global (N) inputs sinks, it is largely unclear whether other pathways Nr transformation exist SPM. Here, we combined stable isotope measurements with metagenomics metatranscriptomics verify occurrence dissimilatory nitrate reduction (DNRA) Pearl River Estuary (PRE). Surprisingly,...
Abstract Background Nitrogen-fixing prokaryotes (diazotrophs) contribute substantially to nitrogen input in mangrove sediments, and their structure fixation rate (NFR) are significantly controlled by environmental conditions. Despite the well-known studies on diazotrophs surficial diversity, structure, ecological functions of diazotrophic communities along gradients sediment across different depths largely unknown. Here, we investigated how biological varied with depth sediments from...
Submerged plants in wetlands play important roles as ecosystem engineers to improve self-purification and promote elemental cycling. However, their effects on the functional capacity of microbial communities wetland sediments remain poorly understood. Here, we provide detailed metagenomic insights into biogeochemical potential with without submerged (i.e., Vallisneria natans). A large number genes involved carbon (C), nitrogen (N) sulfur (S) cycling were detected sediments. most showed...
Understanding mechanisms governing the resistance and resilience of microbial communities is essential for predicting their ecological responses to environmental disturbances. Although we have a good understanding such issues soil lake ecosystems, how regulate microbiota in fish gut ecosystem remains unclear. Using zebrafish model, clarified potential after exposure silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Here, explored exposed different concentrations AgNPs (i.e., 10, 33 100 μg/liter) 15, 45, 75...
Mangrove reforestation with introduced species has been an important strategy to restore mangrove ecosystem functioning. However, how such activities affect microbially driven methane (CH
