This study tracked soil changes during mushroom cultivation. Enzyme activity, soil nutrients, and archaea populations shifted, offering insights for sustainable farming and pollutant reduction.

Area Of Science

  • Soil Science
  • Microbiology
  • Mycology

Background

  • Mulching is vital for cultivating *Stropharia rugosoannulata* (king trumpet mushroom), influencing edible mushroom substrate formation.
  • Soil physicochemical properties are critical for the successful growth of edible mushroom substrates.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To evaluate soil enzyme activities, physicochemical properties, nutrient indicators, and archaeal community dynamics during five distinct cultivation stages of *Stropharia rugosoannulata*.
  • To provide data supporting sustainable cultivation practices and pollutant reduction strategies for this mushroom species.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of soil enzyme activities (sucrase, urease, catalase, polyphenol oxidase).
  • Assessment of soil physicochemical properties (pH, total organic matter, organic nitrogen).
  • Characterization of soil archaeal communities, including diversity and genera identification across cultivation stages.

Main Results

  • Enzyme activities showed varied trends: sucrase decreased then increased, urease fluctuated then decreased, catalase peaked at stage A5, and polyphenol oxidase was highest at A2 and lowest at A4.
  • Soil pH reached its lowest (7.130) at stage A5. Total organic matter peaked at A5 (8.357 g/kg), organic nitrogen was highest at A4 (0.276 g/kg), and organic content was elevated in A1 and A4 stages.
  • The number and diversity of soil archaea increased throughout cultivation, with 10 genera from six phyla identified.

Conclusions

  • Soil characteristics and archaeal communities undergo significant changes during *Stropharia rugosoannulata* cultivation.
  • Understanding these dynamics is key for optimizing mushroom yield and promoting environmentally sustainable cultivation methods.

Crenarchaeota, a prominent phylum of Archaea, is remarkable for its ability to thrive in extreme environments characterized by high temperatures and acidity. These microorganisms inhabit sulfuric hot springs, volcanic systems, and submarine hydrothermal vents, where temperatures often exceed 100°C. The unique adaptations of Crenarchaeota not only allow survival under such extreme conditions but also provide insights into the mechanisms of life in primordial Earth-like...

Archaea, one of the three domains of life, exhibit remarkable diversity and adaptability, thriving in both extreme and moderate environments. Historically, most identified archaea have been classified into two major phyla: Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. However, recent molecular studies have expanded this classification to include three additional phyla: Thaumarchaeota, Nanoarchaeota, and Korarchaeota, each exhibiting unique characteristics and ecological roles.Thaumarchaeota: Mesophiles...

Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...
