Multi-meta-omics reveal unique symbiotic synchronization between ectomycorrhizal fungus and soil microbiome in Tricholoma matsutake habitat.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi establish symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake, improving plant health, and boosting ecosystem resilience. Although previous studies reported molecular interactions among plant-ECM fungi-surrounding microbes near plant roots, microbiome-wide metabolic shifts and associations with the fungi remain unclear.

Results

Using Tricholoma matsutake as a model, we initially found that T. matsutake induced remarkable microbial community turnover linked to altered soil moisture, nitrogen, and phosphorus levels. Parallel with the compositional alteration, microbiome-wide metabolic capacities, including glutamate metabolism, oligopeptide transport, and siderophore activity, were enriched in the T. matsutake-colonizing s
