Abstract Background There is a growing awareness of the importance of root-associated bacteria and fungi to plant growth. At present, little is known about whether different ginseng cultivars affect the soil rhizosphere microbial community. Results Here, we examined the changes in the microorganismal diversity and composition of the rhizospheres of different ginseng cultivars. We found that fungal communities were more influenced by the cultivars than bacterial communities and revealed differences in the microbial community composition and diversity among the different ginseng cultivars. We found that fungal diversity was negatively correlated with bacterial diversity in CBGL, JYSH and SZSZ; however, TSBT had the lowest bacterial and fungal diversity. We also discovered certain rhizosphere microorganisms that may be associated with pathogenicity and the lifespan of ginseng cultivars, including Bacillus, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium spp. Conclusions Our results showed that the microbial diversity and community structures under different ginseng cultivars are significantly different and are related to the host cultivar. This result is helpful in providing information that could be used for the breeding of Panax ginseng.

Abstract Background: Dendrobium is a precious herbal belongs to Orchid and widely used as health care traditional Chinese medicine in Asia. Although orchids are mycorrhizal plants, most researches still focus on endophytes, and there is still large unknown in rhizosphere microorganisms. In order to investigate the rhizosphere microbial community of different Dendrobium species during the maturity stage, we used high-throughput sequencing to analyze microbial community in rhizosphere soil during maturity stage of three kinds of Dendrobium species.Results: In our study, a total of 240,320 sequences and 11,179 OTUs were obtained from these three Dendrobium species. According to the analysis of OTU annotation results, different Dendrobium rhizosphere soil bacteria include 2 kingdoms, 63 phyla, 72 classes, 159 orders, 309 families, 850 genera and 663 species. Among all sequences, the dominant bacterial phyla (relative abundance > 1%) were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes. We analyzed the environmental factors of the growth of Dendrobium and found that the environmental factor that affects the rhizosphere soil microorganisms of Dendrobium is the soil factor. Among them, soil factors most closely related to the influence of Dendrobium rhizosphere soil microorganisms include total nitrogen, available phosphorus, ammonium nitrogen and pH value.Conclusions: We found that the rhizosphere bacterial communities of the three kinds of Dendrobium have significant differences, and the main species of rhizosphere microorganisms of Dendrobium are concentrated in the Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes. Moreover, the smaller the level of bacterial, the greater the difference among Dendrobium species. Soil is the most important environmental factor affecting the bacterial communities in the rhizosphere soil of Dendrobium. These results fill the gap in the rhizosphere microbial community of Dendrobium and provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent mining of microbial functions and the study of biological fertilizers.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can effectively reduce salt damage in plants. Currently, there are many studies on the effects of PGPB on the microbial community structure of rhizosphere soil under salt stress, but fewer studies on the community structure of endophytic bacteria and fungi. We propose that inoculation of endophytic bacteria into the rhizosphere of plants can significantly affect the microbial community structure of the plant’s above-ground and underground parts, which may be the cause of the plant’s “Induced Systemic Tolerance.” The isolated endophytes were re-inoculated into the rhizosphere under salinity stress. We found that, compared with the control group, inoculation with endophytic Bacillus velezensis JC-K3 not only increased the accumulation of wheat biomass, but also increased the content of soluble sugar and chlorophyll in wheat, and reduced the absorption of Na in wheat shoots and leaves. The abundance of bacterial communities in shoots and leaves increased and the abundance of fungal communities decreased after inoculation with JC-K3. The fungal community richness of wheat rhizosphere soil was significantly increased. The diversity of bacterial communities in shoots and leaves increased, and the richness of fungal communities decreased. JC-K3 strain improved wheat’s biomass accumulation ability, osmotic adjustment ability, and ion selective absorption ability. In addition, JC-K3 significantly altered the diversity and abundance of endophytic and rhizosphere microorganisms in wheat. PGPB can effectively reduce plant salt damage. At present, there are many studies on the effect of PGPB on the microbial community structure in rhizosphere soil under salt stress, but there are few studies on the community structure changes of endophytic bacteria and fungi in plants.

AbstractBacterial and fungal communities of four pesticide rinsate treatment biobeds constructed in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada were profiled via high throughput DNA sequencing to assess the effect of biobed depth and pesticide application on microbial community composition. Biobeds differed in geographical location and biobed design, and composition of pesticide rinsates (including herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides). All biobeds achieved similar treatment efficacy and supported greater bacterial diversity relative to fungal diversity, yet selected for similar abundant bacterial orders of Actinomycetales, Acidobacteria, Rhizobiales, and Sphingobacteriales and fungal taxonomic groups of Dothideomycetes, Eurotiales, Hypocreales, and Sordariales. Biobeds differed in the presence of unique and differentiated genera and operational taxonomic units. Biobed depth did not uniformly impact the diversity and/or the microbial community structure. Overall, pesticide application increased bacterial diversity, but had limited effect on the more variable fungal diversity, therefore suggesting broader implication for the effect of applied fungicides on biobed fungal communities.HighlightsBiobeds support diverse bacterial and fungal communitiesSpecific “core” bacterial and fungal taxa are abundant in biobeds of different design and treatmentMicrobial diversity is not directly linked with pesticide type or diversity.

Abstract Maize domestication and breeding have resulted in drastic and well documented changes in aboveground traits, but belowground effects on root system functioning and rhizosphere microbial communities remain poorly understood, despite their critical importance for nutrient and water acquisition. We investigated the rhizosphere microbial community composition and structure of ten Zea mays accessions along an evolutionary transect (two teosinte, three inbred maize lines, and five modern maize hybrids) grown in nutrient depleted soil from a low input agricultural system. Microbial community analysis revealed significant differences in community composition between soil compartments (proximal vs. distal rhizosphere) and between plant genetic groups (teosinte, inbred, and modern hybrid). Only a small portion of the microbial community was differentially selected across plant genetic groups: 3.7% of prokaryotic community members and 4.9% of fungal community members were significantly associated with a specific plant genetic group. Indicator species analysis showed the greatest differentiation between modern hybrids and the other two plant genetic groups. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed that microbial co-occurrence patterns of the inbred maize lines’ rhizosphere were significantly more similar to those of the teosintes than to the modern hybrids. Our results suggest that advances in hybrid development significantly impacted rhizosphere microbial communities and network assembly.

Special-flavor Baijiu is a unique Baijiu in Jiangxi Province, China, whose uniqueness mainly depends on the unique production process of special-flavor Baijiu Daqu. However, the microbial structure and physicochemical indices of different parts of the special-flavor Baijiu Daqu are still unknown. This greatly reduces the actual value of Daqu in the production of special-flavor Baijiu. Therefore, culture-dependent and Illumina MiSeq sequencing methods were used to analyze the microbial structure of special-flavor Baijiu Daqu. The results indicated that there was a complicated microbial diversity in Chinese special-flavor Baijiu Daqu. The predominant bacterial communities were Bacillales, Lactobacillales, and Rhodospirillales, while Saccharomycetales and Eurotiales were the predominant fungal communities. Significant differences in microbial community and distribution were shown between the surface and central parts of Daqu. Acetobacter and Pichia genera were the predominant microorganisms in the surface part of Daqu, whereas Aspergillus, Kroppenstedtia, Oceanobacillus, and Bacillus genera were the predominant microorganisms in the central part of Daqu. Meantime, the different microbial distributions between the surface and central parts of Daqu caused the significant differences in the physicochemical indices. These results can provide an important theoretical basis for improving the brewing process and the quality of special-flavor Baijiu.

Retreating ice fronts (as a result of a warming climate) expose large expanses of deglaciated forefield, which become colonized by microbes and plants. There has been increasing interest in characterizing the biogeochemical development of these ecosystems using a chronosequence approach. Prior to the establishment of plants, microbes use autochthonously produced and allochthonously delivered nutrients for growth. The microbial community composition is largely made up of heterotrophic microbes (both bacteria and fungi), autotrophic microbes and nitrogen-fixing diazotrophs. Microbial activity is thought to be responsible for the initial build-up of labile nutrient pools, facilitating the growth of higher order plant life in developed soils. However, it is unclear to what extent these ecosystems rely on external sources of nutrients such as ancient carbon pools and periodic nitrogen deposition. Furthermore, the seasonal variation of chronosequence dynamics and the effect of winter are largely unexplored. Modelling this ecosystem will provide a quantitative evaluation of the key processes and could guide the focus of future research. Year-round datasets combined with novel metagenomic techniques will help answer some of the pressing questions in this relatively new but rapidly expanding field, which is of growing interest in the context of future large-scale ice retreat.

Endophytes are essential components of plant microbiota. Studies have shown that environmental factors and seasonal alternation can change the microbial community composition of plants. However, most studies have mainly emphasized the transitive endophyte communities and seasonal alternation but paid less attention to their persistence through multiple seasons. Kalidium schrenkianum is a perennial halophyte growing in an arid habitat with radiation stress (137Cs) in northwest China. In this study, K. schrenkianum growing under different environmental stresses were selected to investigate the dynamics and persistency of endophytic microbial communities amid seasons in a year. The results showed that Gammaproteobacteria and unassigned Actinobacteria were the most dominant bacterial communities, while the most dominant fungal communities were Dothideomycetes, unassigned Fungi, and Sodariomycetes. The bacterial community diversity in roots was higher than that in aerial tissues, and root communities had higher diversity in summer and autumn. In contrast, the fungal community diversity was higher in aerial tissues comparing to roots, and the highest diversity was in spring. Season was a determinant factor in the microbial community composition in the roots but not in the aerial tissues. RaupCrick index suggested that the bacterial communities were mainly shaped by stochastic processes. Our research investigated the community traits and members with temporal persistency. For example, bacterial taxa Afipia, Delftia, Stenotrophomonas, Xanthomonadaceae_B_OTU_211, and fungal taxa Neocamarosporium F_OTU_388, F_OTU_404, F_OTU_445, and unassigned Fungi F_OTU_704, F_OTU_767 showed higher frequencies than predicted in all the four seasons tested with neutral community model. The networks of co-occurrence associations presented in two or more seasons were visualized which suggested potential time-continuous core modules in most communities. In addition, the community dynamics and persistency also showed different patterns by radiation levels. Our findings would enhance our understanding of the microbial community assembly under environmental stress, and be promising to improve the development of integrated concept of core microbiome in future.

The microbial community composition of coastal dunes can vary across environmental gradients, with the potential to impact erosion and deposition processes. In coastal foredunes, invasive plant species establishment can create and alter environmental gradients, thereby altering microbial communities and other ecogeomorphic processes with implications for storm response and management and conservation efforts. However, the mechanisms of these processes are poorly understood. To understand how changing microbial communities can alter these ecogeomorphic dynamics, one must first understand how soil microbial communities vary as a result of invasion. Towards this goal, bacterial communities were assessed spatially along foredune microhabitats, specifically in barren foredune toe and blowout microhabitats and in surrounding vegetated monocultures of native Ammophila breviligulata and invasive Carex kobomugi. Across dune microhabitats, microbial composition was more dissimilar in barren dune toe and blowout microhabitats than among the two plant species, but it did not appear that it would favor the establishment of one plant species over the other. However, the subtle differences between the microbial community composition of two species could ultimately aid in the success of the invasive species by reducing the proportions of bacterial genera associated exclusively with A. breviligulata. These results suggest that arrival time may be crucial in fostering microbiomes that would further the continued establishment and spread of either plant species.
