Plant and Soil Development Cooperatively Shaped the Composition of the phoD-Harboring Bacterial Community along the Primary Succession in the Hailuogou Glacier Chronosequence.

ABSTRACT: Microbes that produce phosphatases play an important role in the cycling of phosphorus (P), a key nutrient in soil development. We studied the development, compositional turnover, and environmental drivers of microbial communities carrying the phosphatase-encoding phoD gene (here called phoD communities) in the course of primary succession in the Hailuogou glacier chronosequence. We selected the pioneer species Populus purdomii Rehder as a model plant to study the communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils along the chronosequence. The bulk and rhizosphere soils hosted distinct phoD communities. Changes in the taxa Pseudomonas and Pleomorphomonas in the rhizosphere and Bradyrhizobium, Cupriavidus, and Pleomorphomonas in the bulk soil w
