桂西北不同植被恢复阶段土壤氨氧化细菌遗传多样性研究 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
以桂西北喀斯特不同植被恢复阶段(草丛、灌木林、次生林、原生林)生态系统为研究对象,运用分子生物学技术分析了土壤氨氧化细菌amoA功能基因多样性,探讨了其与脲酶活性和土壤理化性质的关系.结果显示,随着植被的恢复,土壤氨氧化细菌多样性指数与均匀度指数呈增大趋势(灌木林例外),且土壤中氨氧化细菌群落结构发生了改变:主要表现在因Nitrosospira3簇种群对铵态氮浓度敏感度差异导致其在3a、3b簇中分布不一致;相关分析表明;土壤脲酶活性与铵态氮浓度呈正相关关系,土壤脲酶可能通过影响铵态氮浓度改变氨氧化细菌多样性,但植被恢复后期土壤铵态氮浓度减少并未降低土壤氨氧化细菌多样性.LIBSHUFF和RDA分析揭示,植被类型和土壤脲酶活性及pH与氨氧化细菌群落结构紧密相关,说明植被和土壤氮素有效性以及pH可能是决定土壤氨氧化细菌多样性的主要因子,为深入理解喀斯特地区土壤氮素循环提供了一定的科学依据. 相似文献

以中国科学院长武黄土高原农业生态试验站23 a长期施肥定位试验的土壤样品为研究对象,通过构建氨氧化细菌的amoA基因克隆文库,采用PCR-RFLP方法分析了裸地（LD）、种植不施肥（CK）、单施氮肥（N）、单施磷肥（P）和氮磷共施（NP）这5个处理条件下土壤中氨氧化细菌的多样性及其群落结构。结果表明,N处理的土壤中氨氧化细菌的Shannon-Wiene（rH′）和Margalef（dM）a指数均最高,其次是CK、NP、P,而LD处理中最低,表明长期单施氮肥后增加了土壤中氨氧化细菌的多样性和丰富度,长期种植作物后也同样会增加土壤中氨氧化细菌的多样性和丰富度,但单施磷肥和氮磷共施后土壤中氨氧化细菌的多样性和丰富度都有所降低。基于amoA基因建立的系统进化树显示,所有来自于各处理条件下土壤中氨氧化细菌的优势种群都是属于Nitrosospira和Nitrosospira-like,与Nitrosospira cluster 3聚为一组,但优势菌种在克隆文库中所占的比例不同,表明不同的施肥处理下土壤中氨氧化细菌的群落结构发生了改变。 相似文献

土地利用方式对万木林土壤氨氧化微生物丰度的影响 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2
以我国亚热带地区典型花岗岩发育酸性红壤为研究对象,选取福建建瓯万木林自然保护区封禁保护下5种自然植被和1种人工种植植被土壤,采用荧光实时定量PCR(Real-time PCR)技术测定了土壤氨氧化细菌(AOB)和氨氧化古菌(AOA)的群落丰度,采用15N稳定同位素成对标记和数值模型相结合的方法测定了土壤初级硝化速率。结果显示,长期封禁保护下的自然植被土壤pH低,土壤AOB数量偏低。人为种植和管理显著提高了土壤pH,促进了AOB的生长,其丰度比自然条件下提高了2个数量级,土壤初级硝化速率也显著提高,并与AOB数量存在显著的相关性,表明AOB是硝化作用的主要贡献者。5种自然植被条件下AOA的amoA基因拷贝数占泉古菌16S rRNA基因的比例都小于1%(0.01%～0.64%),在农业利用方式下上升到5.32%,表明并非所有泉古菌都具备氨氧化功能基因amoA,氮肥施用可能促进了氨氧化古菌的生长。 相似文献

以福建省红壤稻田土壤为对象,通过提取土壤总DNA,利用特异引物进行PCR(聚合酶链反应)扩增和DGGE(变性梯度凝胶电泳)并结合DNA克隆测序,研究了水稻生长过程中稻田土壤氨氧化细菌和氨氧化古菌群落结构的变化。结果显示:稻田土壤具有丰富的氨氧化细菌和氨氧化古菌资源。水稻生长过程中土壤氨氧化细菌群落组成较为稳定,只表现出水稻生长前期(苗期、分蘖期)和中后期(孕穗期、成熟期)间存在一定差异。而土壤氨氧化古菌群落组成变化较大,在水稻生长的苗期、分蘖期、孕穗期和成熟期4个时期间均存在一定差异。在水稻生长过程中,土壤氨氧化细菌群落多样性指数无显著性变化,但氨氧化古菌群落多样性指数随水稻生长明显提高,孕穗期后才达到平稳。水稻生长前期土壤硝化势也具有显著上升趋势,孕穗期时达到最高,而后有所下降。土壤硝化势与氨氧化古菌群落多样性指数具有显著正相关性,与氨氧化细菌没有相关性。研究表明,氨氧化古菌对红壤稻田土壤硝化作用的影响程度较大,证实了氨氧化微生物尤其是氨氧化古菌在稻田土壤微生物组成及其生态系统功能中的重要性。 相似文献

长期施肥对氨氧化古菌丰度及群落结构的影响 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
【目的】氨氧化古菌对土壤氮素转化有着重要的作用。本研究以长期定位施肥黄泥田土壤为研究对象探讨了长期不同施肥模式对土壤氨氧化古菌数量和多样性的影响,为制定合理的施肥制度提供理论基础。【方法】试验在福建省农科院试验站上进行,以30年长期定位施肥的红壤性水稻土为研究对象采用荧光定量PCR和克隆文库技术,研究了长期不同施肥模式对氨氧化古菌(ammonia-oxidizing archaea,AOA)丰度及群落结构的影响。试验设4个处理:1)不施肥(CK);2)单施氮磷钾肥(NPK);3)氮磷钾肥配施牛粪(NPKM);4)氮磷钾肥配施秸秆(NPKS)。小区面积为12 m~2每个处理设3个重复。土样采集时间为2012年10月份(水稻收获后),测定土壤养分和氨氧化古菌的数量及多样性。【结果】1)与CK相比,NPKM和NPKS处理显著增加了土壤有机质含量,NPKM和NPKS处理之间无显著差异。2)与CK相比施肥均能提高土壤全氮含量;NPKM和NPKS处理能够显著提高土壤全磷含量,NPKM处理全磷含量最高;仅NPKS处理能显著增加全钾含量。3)与CK相比,长期施肥均能提高土壤有效氮(AN)、速效磷(AP)和速效钾(AK)的含量,并且NPKM处理AN和AP含量最高,NPKS处理中AK含量最高。4)与CK相比,长期施肥均对土壤pH值无显著影响。5)与CK处理相比,NPKM和NPKS处理的amoA基因拷贝数显著增加增加幅度分别为168.4%和95.7%;单施化肥处理与CK无显著差异。土壤氨氧化古菌数量与土壤有机质含量呈显著正相关,与土壤全磷、有效氮、速效磷和速效钾含量呈极显著正相关。6)长期不同施肥处理影响土壤氨氧化古菌的种群结构,单施化肥增加了土壤AOA的多样性,而化肥配施有机肥则降低了AOA的多样性。7)本试验中得到的土壤氨氧化古菌amoA基因序列均为不可培养的古菌,包括泉古菌(Crenarchaeote)和奇古菌(Thaumarchaeote)。本试验所得氨氧化古菌绝大多数与来自土壤、沉积物的amoA基因克隆非常相似,少数与水体环境相似。【结论】不同培肥模式下,土壤中氨氧化古菌均为不可培养的古菌,包括泉古菌(Crenarchaeota)和奇古菌(Thaumarchaeota),然而水稻土壤养分和氨氧化古菌丰度及群落结构变化显著。单施化肥的作用不明显,有机无机肥配施有利于土壤有机质和养分的积累以及氨氧化古菌的生长增加了氨氧化古菌优势菌群的比例。 相似文献

氮肥能够影响土壤氨氧化细菌(AOB)和氨氧化古菌(AOA)的丰度和种群结构。利用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-PCR)和变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)技术研究不同氮肥施用年限(4年,4Y;17年,17Y;32年,32Y;0年,0Y)桑园土壤氨氧化微生物丰度及种群结构变化。结果发现,长期施用氮肥导致桑园土壤酸化,与4Y土壤相比,32Y土壤p H降低0.88。4Y处理土壤AOB amoA基因的拷贝数最高,而在32Y土壤中AOA amoA基因拷贝数最高。各处理AOB amoA基因拷贝数为每克干土6.46×10~5～8.32×10~7,明显高于AOA amoA基因拷贝数每克干土1.70×10~4～1.20×10~5。AOB种群丰度与潜在硝化速率(PNR)呈显著正相关,而AOA种群丰度与土壤pH和PNR的相关性不显著,表明AOB在硝化作用中发挥更为重要的作用。DGGE条带分析表明,氮肥施用年限对AOB种群结构影响较大,而对AOA种群结构影响较小。结果表明,桑园中AOB种群在氮循环中占主导地位,并且长期施用氮肥对桑园土壤AOB丰度和种群结构影响较大,而对AOA影响最小。 相似文献

水氮措施影响设施土壤氮素的转化及硝化微生物活性,但水氮耦合对设施土壤自养和异养硝化作用差异的影响尚不明确。以连续8年设施水氮耦合田间定位试验土壤为研究对象,控制不同土壤田间持水量(WHC)(40%WHC、60%WHC和80% WHC)进行室内微宇宙培养试验,通过添加乙炔抑制剂抑制自养硝化途径,研究水氮耦合对设施土壤自养和异养硝化速率及参与自养硝化的氨氧化微生物的影响,分析氨氧化微生物氨氧化古细菌(AOA)和氨氧化细菌(AOB)对自养硝化作用的贡献。结果表明,水氮耦合下,不同硝化途径NH4+-N、NO3--N含量以及参与自养硝化的AOA amoA和AOB amoA基因拷贝数均有显著差异。无乙炔培养7 d后,NO3--N含量显著增加,而NH4+-N含量显著降低,AOA amoA和AOB amoA的基因丰度显著增加。添加乙炔后,NO3--N、NH4+-N含量基本保持恒定,AOA amoA和AOB amoA基因丰度显著减少。水氮耦合显著影响自养和异养硝化速率,冗余分析(RDA)表明,NH4+-N含量、AOB amoA、NO3--N-C2H2、AOA amoA可分别解释自养和异养硝化速率变异的68.9%、34.9%、32.8%和24.4%。设施土壤存在自养硝化和异养硝化两种途径,60%～80%WHC各施氮处理均以自养硝化为主,占总硝化速率的65%～86%;仅40%WHC下,氮纯养分量300和525 kg·hm-2处理以异养硝化为主,占总硝化速率的61%～77%。AOB和AOA共同驱动自养硝化,且AOB贡献更大。 相似文献

Continuous cropping can be a serious problem in Chinese soybean production. This can result in yield reduction, root diseases, and changes in microbial community structure. We studied community structure, clone libraries, and abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in soybean fields there were in continuous soybean production for up to 17 years (SC17). Results showed that the potential nitrification rate (PNR) and amoA gene abundance of soybean in continuous cultivation for seven years (SC7) was 0.34 µg NO3? g?1 and 4.71 × 10?5 amoA gene copies/g dry soil, respectively. These values were lower than other treatments. Phylogenetic affiliation analysis based on blast results of amoA gene clone sequencing showed that the sequences belonged to seven clusters: Cluster 1, Cluster 3b, Cluster 3a.1, Cluster 3a.2, Cluster 9, Cluster 10, and Cluster 4. Correlation of AOB community compositions with environmental factors was performed using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Results indicated that the composition of AOB communities in maize–soybean (MS) rotation and continuous cropping of soybean for two years (SC2) were positively related to the PNR of soil, soil moisture, and soil total nitrogen content. Soybean fields continuously cropped for 11 years (SC11) and SC7 fields had AOB community compositions that were negatively related to these factors. The AOB community composition of SC17 was positively correlated to the soil total carbon content of soil. The results in this study indicate that the potential activity and abundance of AOB community in soil significantly changed after seven years continuous cropping compared to other continuous cropping intervals. Cropping systems have important effect on the diversity of functional microorganisms and associated nitrogen cycles. 相似文献

不同施肥方式下土壤氨氧化细菌的群落特征 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
为了研究长期定位施肥对棕壤中氨氧化细菌（ammonia-oxidizing bacteria,AOB）种群结构多样性和垂直分布特征的影响,本研究采用化学分析、荧光定量PCR（qPCR）和变性梯度凝胶电泳（PCR-DGGE）技术,针对沈阳农业大学试验区不同施肥方式（不施肥、低量无机氮肥、高量无机氮肥、无机氮肥与有机肥配施）下不同土壤深度（0~20 cm、20~40 cm、40~60 cm）的土壤理化性质、AOB丰度及种群多样性进行分析,比较不同施肥方式对土壤AOB种群的影响。结果显示,与不施肥相比,施肥会降低土壤pH,增加土壤铵态氮（70.5%~939.21%）和硝态氮（253.20%~625.48%）含量。随土壤深度增加,土壤pH升高,铵态氮和硝态氮含量除低量无机氮肥处理外,多呈降低趋势。土壤增施氮肥可提高AOB丰度,降低总细菌丰度。其中,0~20 cm土层中AOB丰度较高,且高量无机氮肥处理的AOB数量最高,为9.65×105拷贝数·g-1（干土）。DGGE图谱分析显示,不同处理下,AOB群落结构多样性指数存在明显差异（P<0.05）,各多样性指数均在表层（0~20 cm）最高,增施氮肥则显著降低AOB的多样性。聚类分析表明,4个施肥处理中,高量无机氮肥处理聚为一类,其他处理则因土壤深度不同而异;3个土壤深度中,除不施肥处理外,所有施肥处理均表现为0~20 cm、20~40 cm土层发生聚类,40~60 cm则明显与其他两层分开。冗余梯度分析（RDA）显示,硝态氮（P=0.027）是造成影响AOB群落结构差异的主要原因。上述研究结果表明,长期定位施肥土壤AOB的数量和群落结构多样性受施肥方式显著影响,并表现出明显的垂直分布特征。与无机氮肥相比,有机无机配施处理有助于改善土壤pH,维持不同土壤深度下AOB群落结构多样性。 相似文献

Soil harbors remarkably stabilize bacterial communities at the phylum level.However,no two soils have exactly the same structure of bacterial phyla.The structure of microbial community is strongly influenced by the type of land-use through changes in soil attributes.Using high-throughput pyrosequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction techniques,soil microbial community structures were investigated along a land-use gradient of 100- and 27-year farmlands,a 33-year Pinus forest,a 28-year poplar forest,and a 21-year shrubland,as well as a native desert from which all cultivated systems were converted.The results revealed that the dominant phylotypes in the native soil comprised primarily of Alphaproteobacteria,Actinobacteria,Bacteroidetes,and Firmicutes,accounting for >71.4%of the total bacterial 16S rRNA sequence reads.Changes in land-use led to a significant decrease in these dominant phylotypes down to 33.4%.In contrast,the phylotypes with low abundance,such as Acidobacteria,Chloroflexi,Nitrospira,and Gammaproteobacteria,increased sharply from 4.5%-5.9%in the native soil to 20.9%-30.2%of the total 16S rRNA gene sequences in the cultivated soils except for the soil from the shrubland.These contrasting changes in the major taxa appear to be correlated with the changes in soil attributes.For instance,bacterial and archaeal amoA genes were found to be 960-and 3 800-fold more abundant in the soil from the 100-year farmland than the native soil.The changes in numerically less dominant nitrifying phylotypes are consistent with soil inorganic nitrogen dynamics.Quantification of the 16S rRNA genes demonstrated that bacteria and archaea were about two to three orders of magnitude more abundant in the cultivated soil than in the native soil.Hence,land-use type affects the soil bacterial community structure,which has profound consequences on ecosystem function. 相似文献

两种农田土壤中的氨氧化细菌和氨氧化古菌对硝化抑制剂DCD和DMPP的响应-盆栽试验 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Taking two important agricultural soils with different pH, brown soil （Hap-Udic Luvisol） and cinnamon soil （Hap-Ustic Luvisol）, from Northeast China, a pot culture experiment with spring maize （Zea mays L.） was conducted to study the dynamic changes in the abundance and diversity of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria （AOB） and ammonia-oxidizing archaea （AOA） populations during maize growth period in response to the additions of nitrification inhibitors dicyandiamide （DCD） and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate （DMPP） by the methods of real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR） assay, PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE）, and construction of clone library targeting the amoA gene. Four treatments were established, i.e., no urea （control）, urea, urea plus DCD, and urea plus DMPP. Both DCD and DMPP inhibited growth of AOB significantly, compared to applying urea alone. Soil bacterial amoA gene copies had a significant positive linear correlation with soil nitrate content, but soil archaeal amoA gene copies did not. In both soils, all AOB sequences fell within Nitrosospira or Nitrosospira-like groups, and all AOA sequences belonged to group 1.1b crenaxchaea. With the application of DCD or DMPP, community composition of AOB and AOA in the two soils had less change except that the AOB community composition in Hap-Udic Luvisol changed at the last two growth stages of maize under the application of DCD. AOB rather than AOA likely dominated soil ammonia oxidation in these two agricultural soils. 相似文献

Purpose
Human disturbance is a major culprit driving imbalances in the biological transformation of nitrogen from the nonreactive to the reactive pool and is therefore one of the greatest concerns for nitrogen (N) cycling. The objective of this study was to compare potential nitrification rates and the abundance of ammonia oxidizers responsible for nitrification, with the amendment of external N in different agricultural soils.Materials and methods
Three typical Chinese agricultural soils, QiYang (QY) acid soil, ShenYang (SY) neutral soil, and FengQiu (FQ) alkaline soil, were amended with 0, 20, 150, and 300 μg NH4 +-N g?1 soil and incubated for 40 days. The abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) at the end of incubation in the soil microcosms was determined using the real-time PCR.Results and discussion
There was a significant decrease in ammonium concentration in the QY soil from the highest to the lowest N-loading treatments, while no significant difference in ammonium concentrations was detected among the different N-loading treatments for the SY and FQ soils. A significantly higher potential nitrification rate (PNR) was observed in the FQ soil while lowest PNR was found in the QY soil. Quantitative PCR analysis of AOB amoA genes demonstrated that AOB abundance was significantly higher in the high N-loading treatments than in the control for the QY soil only, while no significant difference among treatments in the SY and FQ soils. A significant positive correlation between PNR and AOB amoA abundance, however, was found for the SY and FQ soils, but not for the QY soil. Little difference in AOA amoA abundance between different N-loading treatments was observed for all the soils.Conclusions
This study suggested that ammonia oxidation capacity in the FQ and SY soils was higher than those in the QY soil with the addition of ammonium fertilizer for a short-term. These findings indicated that understanding the differential responses of biological nitrification to varying input levels of ammonium fertilizer is important for maximizing N use efficiency and thereby improving agricultural fertilization management. 相似文献16.

Soil microbial communities can develop trace metal tolerance upon soil contamination with corresponding metals. A few studies have reported co-tolerance in such cases, i.e. tolerance to other metals than those to which the microbial community had been exposed to. This study was set-up to test for co-tolerance of nitrifying communities to zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) and to relate tolerances to shifts in community structure using amoA AOB (ammonia oxidizing bacteria) DGGE. Seven sets of soils, each representing a Cu or Zn contamination gradient were sampled from four locations. At two locations, both Cu and Zn had been added as single contaminants. Increased Zn and Cu tolerance of the nitrifying communities was consistently observed in response to corresponding soil contamination. Co-tolerance to Zn was obtained in two of the three Cu gradients and that to Cu in one of the four Zn gradients. DGGE analysis and sequencing showed that contamination with either Zn or Cu selected for identical AOB phylotypes in soils at one location but not at the other location. The nitrifying community structures in soils from different locations did not become more similar upon Zn exposure than those in corresponding uncontaminated soils. Hence, trace metal tolerance development was not due to the emergence of specific AOB phylotypes, but due to the emergence of different AOB phylotypes bearing tolerance mechanisms for Zn, Cu or both metals. 相似文献

Purpose
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) are ubiquitous and important for nitrogen transformations in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the distribution patterns of these microorganisms as affected by the terrestrial environments across a large geographical scale are not well understood. This study was designed to gain insights into the ecological characteristics of AOA and AOB in 65 soils, collected from a wide range of soil and ecosystem types.Materials and methods
Barcoded pyrosequencing in combination with quantitative PCR was employed to characterize the relative abundance, diversity, and community composition of archaeal 16S rRNA gene, and AOA and AOB amoA genes in 65 soil samples.Results and discussion
The operational taxonomic unit richness and Shannon diversity of Thaumarchaeota, AOA, and AOB were highly variable among different soils, but their variations were best explained by soil pH. Soil pH was strongly correlated with the overall community composition of ammonia oxidizers, as measured by the pairwise Bray–Curtis dissimilarity across all sites. These findings were further corroborated by the evident pH-dependent distribution patterns of four thaumarchaeal groups (I.1a-associated, I.1b, I.1c, and I.1c-associated) and four AOB clusters (2, 3a.1, 10, and 12). The ratios of AOA to AOB amoA gene copy numbers significantly decreased with increasing pH, suggesting a competitive advantage of AOA over AOB in acidic soils.Conclusions
These results suggest that the distribution of ammonia oxidizers across large-scale biogeographical settings can be largely predicted along the soil pH gradient, thus providing important indications for the ecological characteristics of AOA and AOB in different soils. 相似文献18.
A 15N dilution experiment was carried out to investigate effects of cultivation on the gross N transformation rate in coastal
wetland zone. Microbial community composition was estimated by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis and abundance of soil
ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Soil salinity decreased significantly,
while total N increased after coastal wetland was cultivated. Microbial biomass (total PLFA), bacterial biomass, fungal biomass,
and actinomycete biomass of the native coastal wetland soils were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than those of the cultivated soils whereas AOB population size also significantly increased after coastal wetland
cultivation. Multiple regression analysis showed that total PLFA biomass and soil total N (TN) explained 97% of the variation
of gross N mineralization rate in the studied soils (gross mineralization rate = 0.179 total PLFA biomass + 5.828TN − 2.505,
n = 16, p < 0.01). Gross nitrification rate increased by increasing the soil AOB population size and gross mineralization rate (M) (gross nitrification rate = 3.39AOB + 0.18 M − 0.075, R
2 = 0.98, n = 16, p < 0.01). Management of salt discharge and mineral N fertilization during the cultivation of wetland soils might have changed
composition of soil microflora and AOB population size, thus influencing mineralization and nitrification. Probably, the cultivation
of coastal wetland soils increased the risk of N losses from soil through nitrate leaching and gas emission (e.g., N2O and NO). 相似文献

Nutrient cycles represent key links between above- and below-ground ecosystems. But obscurity of functional diversity of nutrient-cycling organisms has constrained our understanding. We studied the microbial ecology of the nitrogen cycle using bacterial genes involved in nitrification (amoA), denitrification (napA) and nitrogen fixation (nifH) from areas with highly contrasting soils, climates and land management practices within Australia. Agricultural soils had greater frequency of occurrence of nitrogen cycling genes compared with areas of adjacent remnant native vegetation. The relative abundance of the nitrate reductase gene, napA, increased following the addition of urea to soils, indicating a pulse-response of nitrate-reducing bacteria. Laboratory perturbation of soils with highly saline water had no effect on the frequency of functional gene detection, but following perturbation of soils with antibiotics, the presence of amoA fell below detectable levels while levels of ammonia increased over time. In contrast, nifH and napA were detected in some soils for the duration of the perturbation experiments. This observed positive relationship between gene abundance and respective process rates was indicative of an active bacterial population. As such, detection and quantification of bacterial genes involved in the nitrogen cycle represents a model system for gaining insights to soil microbial diversity and ecosystem function. 相似文献
