[Effects of exogenous arsenic stress on bacterial and archaeal communities in two types of soils].

Mining, smelting and other activities result in arsenic accumulation in soils, with adverse impacts on the quality and safety of agricultural products and soil microorganisms. We monitored the changes of available arsenic content with incubation time after the addition of exogenous arsenic to the yellow soil (YS) and soil derived from purple sandy shale (RS). The community changes of bacteria and archaea in soils without spiked arsenic and soils after 1, 30 and 360 days of exogenous arsenic stress were measured by MiSeq high-throughput sequencing, to investigate the community adaptative mechanism of bacteria and archaea in soil under arsenic stress. Results showed that the available arsenic content in soils decreased gradually with time, which significantly affected the composition of soil bacteria and archaea community. The abundance of dominant bacterial group changed significantly, whereas only archaea with lower abundance changed obviously, and little change occurred in dominant archaea group, indicating that archaea community had high arsenic tolerance and stability. Compared with the arsenic stress time, soil arsenic availability had greater impacts on community structures of bacteria and archaea. The results could provide refe-rences for safe utilization and microbial remediation of arsenic-contaminated cropland. 采矿和冶炼等活动会导致土壤中砷的累积,给农产品质量安全和土壤微生物带来不利影响。本文研究了外源砷进入黄壤(YS)和紫色砂页岩发育土壤(RS)后有效砷含量随时间的变化,并采用MiSeq高通量测序研究土壤中细菌和古菌在未加砷和外源砷胁迫1、30、360 d后的群落变化,探讨砷胁迫下土壤细菌和古菌的适应机制。结果表明: 外源砷进入土壤后,土壤有效砷含量随时间推移逐渐降低,并显著影响土壤细菌和古菌的群落组成。土壤细菌的优势菌群丰度变化显著;而古菌中仅丰度较低的菌群发生显著改变,优势菌群丰度变化较小,推测古菌群落具有高耐砷性和稳定性。与砷胁迫时间相比,土壤砷的有效性对细菌和古菌群落结构的影响更大。研究结果可为砷污染农田的安全利用及微生物修复等提供参考。.
