Screening of soil bacteria for plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance

Summary To evaluate the role of plasmids in soil communities antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been isolated from soil. Among them, 419 l-aminopeptidase positive strains (Gram-negative) and 28 l-aminopeptidase negative strains (Gram-positive) were screened for the presence of plasmids. None of the Gram-negative organisms contained plasmids. Among the Gram-positive bacteria plasmid-harboring strains were detected.     

Hydrogen oxidation activities in soil as influenced by pH,temperature, moisture,and season

Summary Hydrogen oxidation in soil was measured at low (1 ppmv) and high (300 ppmv) H₂ concentrations to distinguish between the activities of abiontic soil hydrogenases and Knallgas bacteria, respectively. The two activities also showed distinctly different pH optima, temperature optima, and apparent activation energies. The pH optima for the soil hydrogenase activities were similar to the soil pH in situ, i.e., pH 8 in an slightly alkaline garden soil (pH 7.3) and pH 5 in an acidic cambisol (pH 4.6–5.4). Most probable number determinations in the alkaline acidic soils showed that Knallgas bacterial populations grew preferentially in neutral or acidic media, respectively. However, H₂ oxidation activity by Knallgas bacteria in the acidic soil showed two distinct pH optima, one at pH 4 and a second at pH 6.4–7.0. The soil hydrogenase activities exhibited temperature optima at 35–40°C, whereas the Knallgas bacteria had optima at 50–60°C. The apparent activation energies of the soil hydrogenases were lower (11–23kJ mol^-1) than those of the Knallgas bacteria (51–145 kJ mol^-1). Most of the soil hydrogenase activity was located in the upper 10 cm of the acidic cambisol and changed with season. The seasonal activity changes were correlated with changes in soil moisture and soil pH.     

Utilization of Sparingly Soluble Phosphate by Red Clover in Association with Glomus mosseae and Bacillus megaterium

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the mobilization of sparingly soluble inorganic and organic sources of phosphorus (P) by red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) whose roots were colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and in association with the phosphate-solubilizing (PS) bacterium Bacillus megaterium ACCC10010. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and rock phosphate had a synergistic effect on the colonization of plant roots by the AM fungus. There was a positive interaction between the PS bacterium and the AM fungus in mobilization of rock phosphate, leading to improved plant P nutrition. In dual inoculation with the AM fungus and the PS bacterium, the main contribution to plant P nutrition was made by the AM fungus. Application of P to the low P soil increased phosphatase activity in the rhizosphere. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly promoted by inoculation with either the PS bacterium or the AM fungus.     

高产水稻土细菌多样性的培养法与非培养法比较研究

利用细菌的通用引物扩增江西余江县高产水稻土红壤细菌总DNA和平板培养细菌混合总DNA的16S rDNA基因片段,在此基础上分别建立两种16S rDNA文库(文库a和文库b)。从两个文库中各随机挑选100个克隆,扩增出阳性克隆中的插入片段后选用HhaⅠ和RsaⅠ两种四碱基酶进行ARDRA(amplified rDNA restriction analysis)分析。统计比较分析发现,文库a的Shannon-Wienner指数、Simpson指数、丰富度、均一度分别为4.432、0.987、18.885和0.973,均高于文库b中相应的多样性参数(分别为2.271、0.758、5.736和0.501),即平板培养方法所展现的细菌群落结构多样性低于土壤中原始的多样性。结果表明,传统培养方法存在着很大的局限性,必须结合新的分子生物学技术手段才能更全面完善地认识土壤微生物群落结构多样性,以期充分利用其中丰富的微生物资源。     

Characterisation of endobacterial communities in ectomycorrhizas by DNA- and RNA-based molecular methods

The diversity of endobacteria associated with ectomycorrhizas of Suillus variegatus and Tomentellopsis submollis, in two Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) stands was analysed by cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent molecular methods. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis revealed the cultivable endobacterial communities associated with S. variegatus were similar within the same stand. The most abundant cultivable bacterial species belonged to the genera Pseudomonas and Burkholderia. Cultivation-independent molecular analysis indicated that the structure of the endobacterial communities in ectomycorrhizas was consistent across all samples regardless of ECM fungal species or the pine stand from which the samples were collected. However, comparison between rDNA- and rRNA-derived DGGE gels showed that metabolically active endobacterial species were not always detected in rDNA-based profiles. Clone libraries constructed from rRNA molecules indicated that Pseudomonas and Burkholderia spp. were metabolically active bacteria. As some of the most abundant cultivable bacteria, including Bacillus/Paenibacillus spp., were not detected in cultivation-independent DGGE profiles, a combination of cultivation-dependent and -independent approaches provided a more complete assessment of the diversity of endobacteria associated with ectomycorrhizas.
