Comparison of the microbial communities of alpacas and sheep fed diets with three different ratios of corn stalk to concentrate

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of ruminal microbial communities of alpacas (Lama pacos) and sheep (Ovis aries) fed three diets with varying ratios of roughage (corn stalk) to concentrate, 3:7 (LS), 5:5 (MS) and 7:3 (HS). Six alpacas (one-year-old and weighing 29.5 ± 7.1 kg) and six sheep (one-year-old and weighing 27.9 ± 2.7 kg) were used in this study, in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square experiment. Total protozoa concentration was determined under the microscope; total fungi and methanogens were assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and expressed as a percentage of total bacterial 16S rRNA gene copies; bacterial communities were investigated by targeted 16S rRNA gene (V3–V4 region) sequencing. The percentage of fungi was significantly higher in alpacas than in sheep under the LS diet, while the concentration of protozoa was significantly lower in alpacas under HS, MS and LS diets. The alpha diversity including Shannon, Chao l and ACE indices of bacterial communities was higher in alpacas than in sheep, under the LS diet. A total of 299 genera belonging to 22 phyla were observed in the forestomach of alpaca and sheep, with Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes dominating both animal species. Phyla Armatimonadetes and Fusobacteria, as well as 64 genera, were detected only in alpacas, whereas phyla Acidobacteria and Nitrospira, as well as 44 genera, were found only in sheep. The abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, including Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio, was higher in alpacas than in sheep under all three diets. These differences in the forestomach microbial communities partly explained why alpacas displayed a higher poor-quality roughage digestibility, and a lower methane production. Results also revealed that the adverse effects of high-concentrate diets (70%) were lesser in alpacas than in sheep.

Response of the soil macrofauna abundance and community structure to drought stress under agroforestry system in southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

ABSTRACT

Soil macrofauna is vital for soil functions and soil-mediated processes in all ecosystems. However, environmental perturbations, such as drought, that threaten both the abundance and function of soil macrofauna remain mostly unexplored, particularly in an agroforestry system. We investigated the effects of drought on soil macrofauna abundance and vertical distribution under three different planting systems including two intercropping systems, comprising Chinese prickly ash (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) intercropped with soybean (Glycine max) (Z-G) or bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) (Z-C), and one monoculture system, comprising only Z. bungeanum (Z). Soil samples were collected at depths of 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm, and soil macrofauna and chemical properties were analyzed. Soil dryness negatively affected soil macrofauna in all planting systems. Drought reduced the total macrofauna density, biomass, genera richness, and Pielou’s evenness. Additionally, drought significantly decreased density and biomass of Drawida and Eisenia but had no effect on Carabid beetles. Soil macrofauna density was highest in the Z-G intercropping system and higher at 0–10 cm than at other soil depths. These results indicate that intercropping soybean rather than bell pepper increases the abundance and biomass of soil macrofauna, and drought remarkably impacts the response of soil macrofauna to planting systems.

本文以黄单胞杆菌Xanthomonas campestris pv.juglandis(Pierce Dowson)为供试菌株,选用不同浓度的13种杀菌剂进行室内毒力测定。结果表明:有10种药剂对该菌有一定的抑制效果,但只有5种杀菌剂能够产生明显的抑菌圈。其中,四霉素和链霉素的抑菌效果最强,最低抑菌浓度为0.165、3μg/mL,抑菌率为74.76%、69.23%,EC_(50)为12.764、35.318μg/mL。其他依次为乙蒜素、中生菌素和春雷霉素。选用这5种杀菌剂进行盆栽防治试验,四霉素和链霉素的平均防效达74.60%、71.69%,乙蒜素和中生菌素防效分别为65.98%、58.40%,春雷霉素防效最低为39.38%。其结果与室内基本一致。室内试验及盆栽试验结果表明四霉素、链霉素、乙蒜素、中生菌素和春雷霉素可作为防治核桃黑斑病的杀菌剂,其中四霉素为首选杀菌剂。     

红壤旱地一株自生固氮菌的筛选鉴定及其固氮能力评估

为了鉴定从红壤中分离得到的一株自生固氮菌,并探讨其固氮能力。采用形态观察、生理生化测定和16S rDNA基因序列分析的方法研究了菌株的分类地位,采用乙炔还原法测定其固氮酶活性,并在室内培养条件下,通过花生、玉米的幼苗盆栽试验研究菌株对土壤MBN、矿化氮和植株氮素积累量的影响。结果表明：从种植于红壤的玉米根际,筛选出15株自生固氮菌,以菌株CM12固氮能力最强,初步鉴定CM12为伯霍尔德杆菌属(Burkholderia sp.),固氮酶活性达C₂H₄ 39.1 nmol/(h·mL)。室内培养试验结果表明,接种CM12菌株的处理,花生和玉米土壤MBN含量较CK处理分别提高了2.38和2.37倍,其中种植花生体系中,接菌处理与施用化学氮肥处理土壤MBN含量无显著差异。接种固氮菌影响了旱地红壤NO₃^--N和NH₄⁺-N比例,降低了土壤中NO₃^--N含量,且种植玉米体系中土壤NO₃^--N含量降低较明显。固氮菌短期接种增加了花生根系和玉米地上植株的氮素积累量。研究结果为该菌株在红壤旱地实际生产中的应用提供了理论基础。     

生物炭连续施用对农田土壤氮转化微生物及N2O排放的影响

【目的】研究连续添加生物炭6年后对农田土壤氮转化相关微生物功能基因的影响,揭示生物炭影响作物产量和N₂O排放的微生物学机制,并为生物炭的推广使用提供理论依据。【方法】通过在潮土农田设置0（BC0,对照)、2.25（BCL,低量）、6.75（BCM,中量）和11.25 t·hm^-2（BCH,高量）4个秸秆生物炭量处理的田间定位试验,采用田间观测、化学分析、荧光定量PCR（qPCR）技术,系统研究施用生物炭对氧化亚氮（N₂O）排放、氨单加氧酶（amoA）、亚硝酸还原酶（nirK、nirS）、氧化亚氮还原酶（nosZ）基因丰度及夏玉米产量的影响。【结果】与对照BC0处理相比,施用生物炭可显著提高夏玉米籽粒产量,且BCM处理籽粒产量达到最大值10 811 kg·hm^-2,显著降低夏玉米生育期N₂O累积排放量,并以BCM处理减少N₂O排放效果最优。研究还发现,在夏玉米多个生育时期,与对照比较,生物炭施用可以显著提高耕层土壤无机氮储量和土壤含水量。此外,随着生物炭施用量增加,土壤氨氧化古菌（AOA）基因拷贝数在夏玉米大喇叭口期和成熟期均表现为先上升后下降趋势,且两个时期均以BCM处理最高,而氨氧化细菌（AOB）基因拷贝数在夏玉米大喇叭口期和成熟期分别为BCH处理和BCM处理最高。与对照相比,中、高量生物炭施用（BCM、BCH处理）可显著提高夏玉米大喇叭口期和成熟期土壤反硝化作用功能相关基因（nirK、nirS、nosZ）拷贝数。相关性分析表明,夏玉米成熟期土壤N₂O排放通量与土壤硝态氮、土壤含水量、AOA、AOB、nirK、nirS、nosZ呈显著负相关关系。【结论】施用生物炭通过增加土壤微生物氮转化功能基因丰度进而降低土壤N₂O排放,通过增加土壤耕层无机氮储量和土壤水分含量进而提高作物产量,并以中等用量（6.75 t·hm^-2）施用效果最优。

沂蒙山区金银花光合效率对土壤水分的响应

为探索抗旱灌木光合作用效率对土壤水分的响应特征与阈值效应，以沂蒙山区优势灌木金银花为材料布设盆栽模拟试验，通过人工灌水与植物自然耗水的方法进行控水处理，在不同水分梯度下测定分析了金银花的光合作用参数，并对土壤水分有效性进行了分级。结果表明:1）金银花叶片净光合速率（P_n）和水分利用效率（WUE）对土壤相对含水量（RSWC）具有明显的阈值响应规律，当RSWC分别为79.59%和47.43%时，金银花P_n、WUE达到最大值。当RSWC=29.71%时，制约光合效率的主要因子由气孔限制转为非气孔限制。2）确定了金银花光合作用的5个特征水分阈值:P_n水分补偿点、P_n水分均值点、P_n水分饱和点、WUE水分均值点和WUE水分高效点。同时，将金银花的土壤水分有效性划分了5个等级:高产高效水、高产中效水、中产高效水、低产低效水和无产无效水。3）田间水分管理时，为维持金银花较高的光合作用水平，应维持的土壤水分范围为:42.38%≤RSWC≤96.05%，避免土壤水分低于29.71%。研究结果可为沂蒙山区干旱逆境下金银花的风险诊断和田间水分管理提供科学依据。
