Area Of Science
- Medicinal Plant Science
- Microbial Ecology
- Phytochemistry
Background
- Medicinal plant quality is influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
- Rhizosphere microorganisms play a crucial role in medicinal plant quality.
- Understanding these interactions is key for optimizing medicinal plant cultivation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To identify Schisandra resources with high lignan content.
- To analyze the bacterial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Schisandra.
- To correlate lignan profiles with specific microbial communities.
Main Methods
- Quantification of lignan content in nine Schisandra fruit samples using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
- Analysis of bacterial species diversity in rhizosphere soil via 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing.
- Statistical analysis to determine significant differences and correlations.
Main Results
- Total lignan content varied from 9.726 mg/g to 14.031 mg/g, with ZJ27 exhibiting the highest levels.
- Schisandrol A was the most abundant lignan component, while Schizandrin C was the least.
- Rhizosphere bacterial analysis revealed high diversity, dominated by Actinobacteriota, Acidobacteriota, and Proteobacteria phyla.
Conclusions
- Schisandra resource ZJ27 is a valuable source of high lignan content.
- The rhizosphere of Schisandra harbors a rich and diverse bacterial community.
- Specific bacterial genera, such as Bryobacter and Candidatus_Solibacter, showed negative correlations with certain lignans.
