Fluoroalkylether compounds affect microbial community structures and abundance of nitrogen cycle-related genes in soil-microbe-plant systems

Journal Article Jiang, Tao ; Geisler, Matt ; Zhang, Weilan ; ... - Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

As alternatives to conventional PFAS, ether-PFAS have not been studied much. Their effects to microbial communities, in particular, have not been reported. In this study, we investigated change of microbial community in soil-plant systems dosed with undecafluoro-2-methyl-3-oxahexanoic acid (GenX), dodecafluoro-3H-4,8-dioxanonanoate (ADONA), or 9-chlorohexadecafluoro-3-oxanonane-1-sulfonate (F-53B). It is revealed that the community structure and the species diversity were significantly affected by each of the three ether-PFAS at the two tested concentrations. The only exception was GenX at the low concentration. With respect to nitrification, amoA genes in ammonia oxidizing bacteria were not significantly affected while amoA gene abundance in ammonia oxidizing archaeamore »« less

Microbial community structure with trends in methylation gene diversity and abundance in mercury-contaminated rice paddy soils in Guizhou, China

Journal Article Vishnivetskaya, Tatiana A. ; Hu, Haiyan ; Van Nostrand, Joy D. ; ... - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts

Paddy soils from mercury (Hg)-contaminated rice fields in Guizhou, China were studied with respect to total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations as well as Bacterial and Archaeal community composition. Total Hg (0.25-990 μg g^-1) and MeHg (1.3-30.5 ng g^-1) varied between samples. Pyrosequencing (454 FLX) of the hypervariable v1-v3 regions of the 16S rRNA genes showed that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Euryarchaeota, and Crenarchaeota were dominant in all samples. The Bacterial α-diversity was higher in samples with relatively Low THg and MeHg and decreased with increasing THg and MeHg concentrations. In contrast, Archaeal α-diversity increased with increasing of MeHgmore »« less

Identification of the Core Set of Carbon-Associated Genes in a Bioenergy Grassland Soil

Journal Article Howe, Adina ; Yang, Fan ; Williams, Ryan J. ; ... - PLoS ONE

Despite the central role of soil microbial communities in global carbon (C) cycling, little is known about soil microbial community structure and even less about their metabolic pathways. Efforts to characterize soil communities often focus on identifying differences in gene content across environmental gradients, but an alternative question is what genes are similar in soils. These genes may indicate critical species or potential functions that are required in all soils. Here we identified the “core” set of C cycling sequences widely present in multiple soil metagenomes from a fertilized prairie (FP). Of 226,887 sequences associated with known enzymes involved inmore »« less

Interferences, limitations and an improvement in the extraction and assessment of cellulase activity in soil

Technical Report Gander, L K ; Hendricks, C W ; Doyle, J D

A practical modification of a reducing-sugar method to estimate soil (carboxymethyl) cellulase activity is described and used to compare three non-sterile soils. The original method involves the formation of a ferric-ferrocyanide complex in soil extracts prepared and exposed to substrate in 2 MOLAR acetate buffer. The authors used 67 milliMolar acetate buffer and were able to detect and compare cellulase activities in three diverse soils using undiluted extracts. The values obtained were more reproducible, but in a different range from those of the original method. The use of undiluted soil extracts prepared in less concentrated buffer simplifies and extends themore »« less
