Impact of Fertilisation on the Bacterial Core Microbiome of Grassland Soils: Abundance in the Field and Growth In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Anthropogenic activities may have profound impacts on the soil microbiome with consequences for soil health, agriculture and food production. Here, we investigated the impact of different fertilisation regimes on the composition of the bacterial soil microbiome in grassland ecosystems by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and in vitro growth experiments with culturable representatives of the bacterial core microbiota. We observed a large proportion of taxa shared across fertilisation regimes without significant differences in their evenness, but shifts in the composition of the bacterial core microbiome by fertilisation. These effects were most pronounced for fertilisation with pig slurry (PS). Analysis of microbiome multivariable association with linear models identified bacterial biomarke
