Project description:Widespread organic pollutants such as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) are traditionally considered to enhance soil carbon loss through mineralization and ecotoxicity. Challenging this paradigm, we reveal that BTEX can stimulate microbial carbon chain elongation (CE)—a previously overlooked carbon fixation pathway—thereby reshaping soil carbon dynamics. Through phased amplicon sequencing, metagenomics, and metaproteomics, we demonstrate that BTEX exerts bidirectional regulation on CE at both taxonomic and molecular levels. Specifically, BTEX selectively enriches Clostridium_sensu_stricto_12 and Rummelibacillus, while suppressing Acinetobacter, a key CE contributor in natural soils. BTEX also inhibits Petrimonas, a syntrophic degrader of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), promoting MCFAs accumulation. Moreover, BTEX-degrading bacteria establish cooperative interactions with CE bacteria, facilitating the sequestration of carbon as MCFAs rather than complete mineralization to CO₂, with Bacillus bridging both metabolic roles. At the molecular level, BTEX enhances CE by accelerating substrate uptake and acetyl-CoA flux into the reverse β-oxidation (RBO) pathway. Multi-omics analysis revealed that BTEX downregulates fatty acid biosynthesis (FAB), another pathway of CE, through fabR, acrR, and fadR while maintaining NADH availability to relieve Rex-mediated inhibition of the key RBO enzyme gene bcd. However, excessive BTEX disrupts metabolic homeostasis and suppresses CE activity. Collectively, our findings redefine the ecological implications of aromatic hydrocarbon contamination by uncovering its capacity to modulate anaerobic carbon fixation and retention in soil microbial communities. This work highlights a previously unrecognized link between pollutant degradation and biogenic carbon sequestration, with broader implications for understanding soil biogeochemical resilience under anthropogenic pressure.

Project description:Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production. However, microbial responses to clipping in the context of climate warming are poorly understood. We investigated the interactive effects of grassland warming and clipping on soil properties, plant and microbial communities, in particular microbial functional genes. Clipping alone did not change the plant biomass production, but warming and clipping combined increased the C4 peak biomass by 47% and belowground net primary production by 110%. Clipping alone and in combination with warming decreased the soil carbon input from litter by 81% and 75%, respectively. With less carbon input, the abundances of genes involved in degrading relatively recalcitrant carbon increased by 38-137% in response to either clipping or the combined treatment, which could weaken the long-term soil carbon stability and trigger a positive feedback to warming. Clipping alone also increased the abundance of genes for nitrogen fixation, mineralization and denitrification by 32-39%. The potentially stimulated nitrogen fixation could help compensate for the 20% decline in soil ammonium caused by clipping alone, and contribute to unchanged plant biomass. Moreover, clipping tended to interact antagonistically with warming, especially on nitrogen cycling genes, demonstrating that single factor studies cannot predict multifactorial changes. These results revealed that clipping alone or in combination with warming altered soil and plant properties, as well as the abundance and structure of soil microbial functional genes. The aboveground biomass removal for biofuel production needs to be re-considered as the long-term soil carbon stability may be weakened.

Project description:The response of soil microbial community to climate warming through both function shift and composition reorganization may profoundly influence global nutrient cycles, leading to potential significant carbon release from the terrain to the atmosphere. Despite the observed carbon flux change in northern permafrost, it remains unclear how soil microbial community contributes to this ecosystem alteration. Here, we applied microarray-based GeoChip 4.0 to investigate the functional and compositional response of subsurface (15~25cm) soil microbial community under about one year’s artificial heating (+2°C) in the Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research site on Alaska’s moist acidic tundra. Statistical analyses of GeoChip signal intensities showed significant microbial function shift in AK samples. Detrended correspondence analysis and dissimilarity tests (MRPP and ANOSIM) indicated significant functional structure difference between the warmed and the control communities. ANOVA revealed that 60% of the 70 detected individual genes in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur cyclings were substantially increased (p<0.05) by heating. 18 out of 33 detected carbon degradation genes were more abundant in warming samples in AK site, regardless of the discrepancy of labile or recalcitrant C, indicating a high temperature sensitivity of carbon degradation genes in rich carbon pool environment. These results demonstrated a rapid response of northern permafrost soil microbial community to warming. Considering the large carbon storage in northern permafrost region, microbial activity in this region may cause dramatic positive feedback to climate change, which is important and necessary to be integrated into climate change models.
