In order to elucidate community structures and dynamic changes of culturable symbiotic fungal colony in roots of Quercus mongolica,the symbiotic fungi in roots of young Q.mongolica at different ages were isolated directly.The isolated fungi were identified based on the morphological characteristics of colony and molecular analysis.The results were as follows:(1)A total of 249 fungal strains were isolated from the roots of young Q.mongolica,18 species belonging to 15 genera,8 families,7 orders,5 classes and 2 phyla were recognized.Among them,two species belonged to Basidiomycetes and 16 species belonged to Ascomycota.Pezicula pruinosa was the species with the highest isolation frequency(81.93%),followed by Dactylonectria torresensis(4.02%),Ilyonectria robusta(2.01%)and Atrocalyx nordicus(2.01%).(2)Significant differences in species and quantities of symbiotic fungi demonstrated in different ages of young Quercus mongolica,with the highest frequency of isolation occurring in the 4-5 years old(44.98%)followed by the triennial(29.32%),biennial(19.68%)and annual(6.02%).To sum up,culturable symbiotic fungi in the roots of young Q.mongolica on Liupan Mountain are highly diverse.Species and quantities of isolates vary at different ages of trees,the diversity increases with the growth of tree,and Pezicula pruinosa is the most dominant culturable symbiotic fungi in roots of young Quercus mongolica.The results provide the reference for further investigating symbiotic fungal resources and exploring the microbial symbiotic mechanism of Q.mongolica in adapting to local environment.
The organic pollution generated during production and processing in the mining area seriously endangers the ecological security of the surrounding environment. In this study, degradation of alpha-nitroso-beta-naphthol (alpha N beta N), a typical organic flotation reagent in mining area, by using steel converter slag (SCS) as a low-cost catalyst was reported for the first time. The results showed that SCS + H2O2 could effectively remove alpha N beta N from water solutions. In the system used in this study, more than 98.8 % of alpha N beta N could be removed within 60 min. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, the synergistic mechanism of radical and non-radical pathways was proposed. The radical pathway mainly consisted of center dot OH radical oxidation, while the non-free radical pathway consisted of O-1(2) and electron transfer. Fe, bridging OH and terminal OH on the surface of SCS were the active sites for H2O2 activation. The removal performance of the system was not affected by common coexisting ions, and showed strong anti-interference ability. After 4 times repeated use, the removal efficiency still reached more than 83 %. HPLC-MS was used to analyze the intermediate products, while the changes in their toxicity effects were analyzed by microcalorimetry for the first time. The results showed that the system could effectively reduce the ecotoxicity of a water solution containing alpha N beta N. This study provides not only a new strategy for treating organic pollution in mining areas, but also a new idea for the green cycle development of industry and mining from the perspective of "treat the wastes with wastes".
The microbiome and metabolic processes occurring in the soil of the moss crust-soil continuum contribute to drive biogeochemical cycles. In this study, soil chemical properties of soil which was attached to bryophyte (BRS) and soil which was dropped from bryophyte (BBS) were analyzed. Differences in microbial species composition, metabolic pathways and related genes of these two different soil types were also analyzed. The results showed that the total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) content of BRS were significantly higher than those of BBS. The dominant phylum in the soil microbiome of the moss crust-soil continuum was Actinobacteria. Genes and metabolic pathways related to the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycle differed between BRS and BBS. The carbon sequestration capacity of BRS was higher than that of BBS. The relative abundance of napA, narH and narI genes involved in denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction in the BRS microbiome was significantly higher than that in the BBS microbiome, while the relative abundance of nasA, NR and nirA genes involved in assimilatory nitrate reduction in the BRS soil microbiome was significantly lower than that in the BBS soil microbiome. The relative abundance of glpQ genes encoding glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase in the BRS microbiome was significantly higher than that in the BBS microbime, while the relative abundance of pstS, pstA, pstC, pstB genes responsible for phosphate-specific transport systems in the BRS microbiome was significantly lower than that in the BBS microbiome. The abundance of the assimilatory sulfate-reducing metabolic pathway in the BRS microbiome was significantly higher than that in the BBS microbiome, while the dissimilatory sulfate-reducing metabolic pathway in the BRS microbiome was significantly lower than that in the BBS microbiome. The study found that the microbiome in the soil which was attached to bryophyte plays a more important role in the accumulation of soil nutrients in the Tengger Desert through biodiversity and metabolic activity.
Mining activities will produce a large amount of active tailings accumulation, resulting in heavy metal pollution, which can greatly change the evolutionary direction of surrounding soil microorganisms and affect the biogeochemical cycle process. However, little is known about the effects of heavy metal concentration gradients on microbial communities and the mechanisms of microbial community evolution in active tailings environments. Herein, we collected soil samples around active lead-zinc tailings including uncontaminated and contaminated soils, by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to gain insight into soil microbial community structure and evolutionary direction under copper (Cu) concentration gradient stress. Investigation of tailings and surrounding soil found that the Cu concentration gradient was the main factor responsible for the significant differences in microbial community diversity and composition. Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota dominated the original microbial community and continued changes in the microbial community were observed along the copper concentration gradient, revealing that copper induced the microbial community dominated by Proteobacteria to the Thermoplasma and Methylation bacteria-dominated microbial community evolution. We also found that 10 - 30 mg/Kg Cu can promote the abundance of microbial community but 50 mg/Kg Cu greatly reduces its abundance, which observed across different microbial phyla. Co-occurrence network analysis and functional prediction were performed, and a hypothesis was proposed that the microbial community could resist heavy metal stress by adjusting metabolic strategies. This study deepened the understanding of heavy metals contamination in an active tailings, and the microbial community succession with Cu concentration gradients and provided theoretical guidance for bioremediation of heavy metals pollution from active tailings.

Lycium ruthenicum Murr. (L. ruthenicum) is a valuable medicinal source with a high content of anthocyanin. Most of the previous study were focused on the regulation process of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit development, the mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation in L. ruthenicum seedlings has rarely been reported. In the present study, anthocyanin accumulation in L. ruthenicum seedlings induced by salt stress was studied, and the expression of LrMYB1 and phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) played a role in this process. Our results showed that LrMYB1 was stimulated by salt stress, and the expression of LrMYB1 also had a positive correlation with the expression of LrDFR and LrANS, which play key roles in anthocyanin biosynthesis in L. ruthenicum, suggesting that LrMYB1 is a critical regulator in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Compared with the wild-type seedlings, LrMYB1 RNA interference lines accumulated less anthocyanins under salt stress, which confirmed the role of LrMYB1 in anthocyanin biosynthesis in the L. ruthenicum seedlings response to salt stress. Furthermore, ABA content was sharply increased in L. ruthenicum seedlings after 1/2 days of salt stress. Exogenous ABA could also stimulate the expression of LrMYB1 and structural genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway but could not induce more anthocyanin biosynthesis and structural gene upregulation in the LrMYB1 RNA interference lines. These results may imply that ABA could induce anthocyanin biosynthesis under salt stress by upregulating LrMYB1. This study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in L. ruthenicum seedlings and extend the understanding of the regulatory mechanism of MYB transcription factor and ABA on anthocyanin accumulation in L. ruthenicum. We provide new details regarding the molecular mechanism by which ABA participate in anthocyanin biosynthesis via modulate the expression of LrMYB1 in Lycium ruthenicum Murr. seedlings response to salt stress.

Abandoned-growing branches are a waste of Lycium barbarum planting but contain abundant nutrients and medicinal ingredients. Using abandoned-growing branches of L. barbarum as a medicine additive silage is a way to turn waste into treasure. In this paper, molasses, bran, and corn flour were added as silage sugar sources and ‘Ya xin’, ‘Jun an jiao bao’, ‘Yijiayi,’ and ‘Nongfukang’ as commercial silage bacteria. By comparing the sensory evaluation scores, nutrient components, and medicinal components of the different sugar sources and microbial silages, we set out to find silage bacteria and sugar sources suitable for L. barbarum abandoned-growing branches silage. The results showed there were no significant differences in the content of acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, and ammonia nitrogen in the three kinds of sugar source silage (P > 0.05). The highest content of crude protein (1.18%), crude ash (12.77%), dry matter (30.5%), lactic acid (123.75 μg·g –1), polysaccharide (27.89 mg·g–1), betaine (6.47 mg·g–1), and total flavonoids (1.15 mg·g–1) added to molasses were significantly higher than those of the other two treatments (P < 0.05). There was no difference between the dry matter and ammonia nitrogen content of the four kinds of microbial agents and natural silage ( P > 0.05). However, crude protein (1.96%), acid detergent fiber (75.52%), neutral detergent fiber (73.86%), water-soluble carbohydrate (259.19 mg·g –1), lactic acid (145.82 μg·g–1), and polysaccharide (27.27 mg·g–1) content were the highest in natural silage (P < 0.05). Molasses was deemed to be the best sugar source, and natural silage is the best way of using the abandoned-growing branches of L. barbarum.

The combined contamination of nonferrous metal(loid) mining and smelting areas is a global issue, in need of urgent management. To our knowledge, this is the first report of microbial activities by microcalorimetry in specific nonferrous metal(loid) tailings with oligonutrition and high contents of toxic metal(loid)s. Dynamics of bacterial diversity were also characterized. Here we show that tailings had low microbial activities (P-max = 641-331 mu Wg(-1)), which were accelerated by the presence of dipotassium phosphate (P-max = 346-856 mu Wg(-1)), as measured by microcalorimetry. Frequent detection of S- and metal-resistant related genera and differences of Thiobacillus and Acidithiobacillus abundances indicated that the tailings were in an early stage of acidification. It has been further confirmed by the presence of a weak acid environment and secondary sulfur associated minerals, such as Sb2S3, FeAsS, FeS2, and CuFeS2. During the acidification process, phosphate, metal(loid)s, and microbial activity were correlated to the bacterial communities. It is suggested that the bacterial communities have metabolic capacities with a high potential for the use in management processes of multi-contaminated nonferrous metalliferous tailings.

Abandoned nonferrous metal(loid) tailings sites are anthropogenic, and represent unique and extreme ecological niches for microbial communities. Tailings contain elevated and toxic content of metal(loid)s that had negative effects on local human health and regional ecosystems. Microbial communities in these typical tailings undergoing natural attenuation are often very poorly examined. The diversity and inferred functions of bacterial communities were examined at seven nonferrous metal(loid) tailings sites in Guangxi (China), which were abandoned between 3 and 31 years ago. The acidity of the tailings sites rose over 31 years of site inactivity. Desulfurivibrio, which were always coupled with sulfur/sulfide oxidation to dissimilate the reduction of nitrate/nitrite, were specific in tailings with 3 years abandonment. However, genus beneficial to plant growth (Rhizobium), and iron/sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and metal(loid)-related genera (Acidiferrobacter and Acidithiobacillus) were specific within tailings abandoned for 23 years or more. The increased abundance of acid-generating iron/sulfur-oxidizing and metal(loid)-related bacteria and specific bacterial communities during the natural attenuation could provide new insights for understanding microbial ecosystem functioning in mine tailings. OTUs related to Sulfuriferula, Bacillus, Sulfurifustis, Gaiella, and Thiobacillus genera were the main contributors differentiating the bacterial communities between the different tailing sites. Multiple correlation analyses between bacterial communities and geochemical parameters indicated that pH, TOC, TN, As, Pb, and Cu were the main drivers influencing the bacterial community structures. PICRUSt functional exploration revealed that the main functions were related to DNA repair and recombination, important functions for bacterial adaptation to cope with the multi-contamination of tailings. Such information provides new insights to guide future metagenomic studies for the identification of key functions beyond metal-transformation/resistance. As well, our results offers novel outlooks for the management of bacterial communities during natural attenuation of multi-contaminated nonferrous metal(loid) tailings sites.
