概括

环境过不足以解释微生物社区模式. 在地表微生物群中,微生物基因型之间的相互作用,而不仅仅是环境条件,驱动基因丰富性,特别是在脱过程中.

科学领域:

微生物生态学微生物生态学
环境微生物学环境微生物学
土壤科学土壤科学

背景情况:

微生物群落是由环境条件和生态相互作用构成的.
环境过是一个占主导地位的假设,这表明局部条件选择微生物特征.
生态相互作用在塑造微生物社区模式中的作用仍未得到充分探索.

研究的目的:

证明环境过假说对全球表层土壤微生物组模式的不足.
研究生态相互作用在结构化微生物群落中的作用,以脱化为模型.
阐明环境变量和基因丰度是如何通过社区相互作用联系在一起的.

主要方法:

对表层土壤微生物组和基因丰度的分析.
利用脱化作为一种模型系统来研究特定的基因型 (nar 和 nap).
研究了pH,基因型丰富度和生态相互作用之间的关系.

主要成果:

观察到nar和nap基因型与pH的丰度之间的权衡; nar增加,nap随着pH的下降而下降.
纳尔基因型在低pH条件下得到丰富,但无法独立生长.
在低pH下,Nar基因型的优势归因于与Nap基因型的相互作用,从而减轻了酸盐毒性.

结论:

单靠环境过无法解释表层土壤微生物组的全球模式.
生态相互作用是微生物社区结构和基因丰富性的关键驱动因素.
这项研究为了解环境因素如何调节社区相互作用以塑造微生物模式提供了一个框架.

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

The Soil Ecosystem

The Soil Ecosystem

Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes

The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.
