Agricultural ecosystems annually receive approximately 25% of the global nitrogen input, much which is oxidized at least once by ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes to complete cycle. Recent discoveries have expanded known from domain Bacteria Archaea. However, in complex soil environment it remains unclear whether ammonia oxidation exclusively or predominantly linked Archaea as implied their exceptionally high abundance. Here we show that rather than functionally dominate an agricultural soil,...
Abstract Soils serve as the biological sink of potent greenhouse gas methane with exceptionally low concentrations ∼1.84 p.p.m.v. in atmosphere. The as-yet-uncultivated methane-consuming bacteria have long been proposed to be responsible for this ‘high-affinity’ oxidation (HAMO). Here we show an emerging HAMO activity arising from conventional methanotrophs paddy soil. was quickly induced during low-affinity high-concentration methane. Activity lost gradually over 2 weeks, but could...
Rice paddy fields are characterized by regular flooding and nitrogen fertilization, but the functional importance of aerobic ammonia oxidizers nitrite under unique agricultural management is poorly understood. In this study, we report differential contributions ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), bacteria (AOB) nitrite-oxidizing (NOB) to nitrification in four soils from different geographic regions (Zi-Yang (ZY), Jiang-Du (JD), Lei-Zhou (LZ) Jia-Xing (JX)) that representative rice ecosystems...
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and characterized by inflammation fat accumulation. Dietary interventions, such as fibre, have been shown to alleviate this metabolic disorder in mice via gut microbiota. Here, we investigated mechanistic role microbiota ameliorating NASH dietary fibre mice. Soluble inulin was found be more effective than insoluble cellulose suppress progression mice, reduced hepatic steatosis, necro-inflammation,...
Summary Crop rotation can assemble distinct core microbiota as functionally specific barriers against the invasion of banana Fusarium oxysporum pathogens. However, taxonomic identity rotation‐unique taxa and their legacy effects are poorly understood under field conditions. Pepper eggplant rotations were employed to reveal crop‐ banana‐unique antagonistic by in situ tracking soil microbiome assembly patterns for 2 yr. The crop‐unique isolated verified culture‐dependent techniques,...
Abstract Viruses play important roles in biogeochemical nutrient cycles and act as genomic reservoirs marine freshwater environments, the understanding of which brought about so-called ‘third age’ virus ecology aquatic environments. Unfortunately, third age is oceanography limnology outside soil world. The main reason why soils has shown less progress that agronomical epidemiological interests were primary motivation viral studies by microbiologists. In this review, past research on viruses...
Iron reduction is an important biogeochemical process in paddy soils, yet little known about the microbial coupling between nitrogen and iron reduction. Here, we investigated shift of acetate-metabolizing iron-reducers under long-term fertilization using (13)C-acetate-based ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-stable isotope probing (SIP) pyrosequencing incubation experiment, putative original field samples were by 16S rRNA gene-based pyrosequencing. During SIP incubations, presence iron(III) oxyhydroxides,...
The metabolic traits of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) interacting with their environment determine the nitrogen cycle at global scale. Ureolytic metabolism has long been proposed as a mechanism for AOB to cope substrate paucity in acid soil, but it remains unclear whether urea hydrolysis could afford AOA greater ecological advantages. By combining DNA-based stable isotope probing (SIP) high-throughput pyrosequencing, here we show that autotrophic ammonia oxidation two...
Long‐term field fertilization experiments may provide useful insight into the relative contributions of NH 3 –oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) to soil nitrification. In this study, abundance composition AOB AOA were investigated in bulk from paddy plots (4 by 5 m) that received no (CK), 180 kg urea N ha −1 yr (NPK), or plus 4500 rice ( Oryza sativa L.) straw (NPK/OM) since 1988 (each with three replicated plots). Our results clearly indicate long‐term (22 yr) significantly altered...
Abstract. Forest plantations have been recognised as a key strategy management tool for stocking carbon (C) in soils, thereby contributing to climate warming mitigation. However, long-term ecological consequences of anthropogenic forest on the community structure and diversity soil microorganisms underlying mechanisms determining these patterns are poorly understood. In this study, we selected 78-year-old tree that included three coniferous species (i.e. slash pine, hoop pine kauri pine)...
