Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding how microbial communities maintain their ecological stability. Here, analyze long-term (nine years) high-throughput sequencing dataset by network analysis to illustrate the stability varies among seasons lake ecosystems. The results showed that networks were distinctly different seasons, and most complex autumn exhibited highest We found strong connecting...
Abstract Background Increasing attention has recently been devoted to the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in eutrophic lakes due its potential key functions nitrogen (N) removal for eutrophication control. However, successful enrichment of anammox bacteria from lake sediments is still challenging, partly ecological interactions between and denitrifying across such with remain unclear. Results This study thus designed fill knowledge gaps using bioreactors enrich more than 365 days. We...
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....
Understanding the contribution of soil microbial communities to ecosystem processes is critical for predicting terrestrial feedbacks under changing climate. Our current understanding lacks a consistent strategy formulate linkage between systems and due presumption functional redundancy in microbes. Here we present global metagenomic analysis generalize patterns taxonomic compositions potentials across climate geochemical gradient. analyses show that composition varies widely response...
Microorganisms play crucial roles in phosphorus (P) turnover and P bioavailability increases heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, microbially driven P-cycling processes mechanisms of their resistance to metal contaminants remain poorly understood. Here, we examined the possible survival strategies microorganisms horizontal vertical soil samples from world's largest antimony (Sb) mining site, which is located Xikuangshan, China. We found that total Sb pH were primary factors affecting...
Microorganisms in eutrophic water play a vital role nitrogen (N) removal, which contributes significantly to the nutrient cycling and sustainability of ecosystems. However, mechanisms underlying interactions adaptation strategies N removal microorganisms ecosystems remain unclear. We thus analyzed field sediments collected from freshwater ecosystem, enriched microorganisms, examined their function adaptability through amplicon, metagenome metatranscriptome sequencing. found that activities...
Aims Citruses often occur with imbalance in iron nutrition coastal saline-alkali lands, which severely limits the yield and quality of fruit. In rhizosphere, salt content plays a crucial role reducing uptake iron, as well activity abundance bacteria. However, few studies have explored how affects effectiveness community structure bacteria across different vertical spatial scales. Methods We investigated citrus rhizosphere (0–30 cm) bulk (0–60 soil microenvironments saline were analyzed using...
The influence of growing season (winter vs summer) on the synthesis and accumulation phenolic compounds antioxidant properties was studied in five grape cultivars for three consecutive years. Four compound parameters (total phenols, flavonoids, flavan-3-ols, anthocyanins) property [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging, 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazolinesulfonic acid) ferric reducing power] were investigated. Results showed that both seed skin winter berries significantly (p <...
Understanding the microbial community assembly is an essential topic in ecology. Coastal wetlands are important blue carbon sink, where microbes play a key role biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and energy transformation. However, drivers controlling distribution patterns bacterial archaeal communities coastal wetland unclear. Here we examined diversity, co-occurrence network, processes environmental from inshore to offshore sediments by sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The value α-...
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 interactions within the gut microbiome and its stability are of critical importance for deciphering ecological issues ecosystem. Recent studies indicate that long-term instability microbiota is associated with human diseases, recovery helpful in return to health. However, much less known about such topics fish, which encompass nearly half all vertebrate diversity. Here, we examined assembly succession more than 550 zebrafish, evaluated variations microbial across fish...
Soil protists are essential but often overlooked in soil and could impact microbially driven element cycling natural ecosystems. However, how influence heavy metal remains poorly understood. In this study, we used a model protist, Dictyostelium discoideum, to explore the effect of interactions between amoeba metal-reducing bacteria on reduction Fe(III) Cr(VI). We found that D. discoideum preferentially prey Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Shewanella decolorationis S12 significantly decrease its...
The recruitment of microorganisms by plants can enhance their adaptability to environmental stressors, but how root-associated niches recruit specific for adapting metalloid-metal contamination is not well-understood. This study investigated the generational in different root
Antimony (Sb)-oxidizing bacteria play an important role in environmental Sb bioremediation because of their ability to convert the more toxic Sb(III) less Sb(V). So far, information about Sb(III)-oxidizing species is still limited. In this study, three highly Sb(III)-resistant bacterial strains were isolated from contaminated mine soils after aerobic enrichment culturing with (1 mM). The morphological, biochemical, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis suggested that novel isolates fell...
