While numerous studies have explored the effect of abiotic factors on the belowground community assembly, much less is known about the role of biotic interactions, particularly viral infections, in shaping microbial communities. Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV), a member of the Fijivirus genus in the Reoviridae family, has caused severe yield losses in rice due to its rapid transmission.

The results revealed that SRBSDV invasion led to significant changes in rhizosphere metabolites and microbial assembly processes. Specifically, the estimated overdispersion of cations sharply decreased following viral infection, while anion levels decreased markedly during early infection and then increased rapidly after 15 days. Key taxa, such as methanotrophs (e.g., Methylomicrobium), nitrifiers (e.g., Nitrospira), and iron-cycling bacteria (e.g., Sideroxydans), not only increased in abundance but also showed strong involvement in the microbial assembly processes. These key microbes were closely linked to specific metabolites and organized into two distinct network modules. Both modules predominantly recruited beneficial microbes, but one module also actively excluded potentially harmful taxa (e.g., Salmonella), which could disrupt community stability. Further experiments with exogenous metabolites confirmed the vital role of quercetin in attracting beneficial microbes while repelling harmful ones.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings indicate that arboviruses can strongly influence the belowground rhizosphere microbial assembly processes by modulating metabolite profiles to selectively recruit or exclude key microbial species.

Different dairy ruminants exhibit varying degrees of inflammation accompanied by variations in the rumen microbiota when SARA occurs. Our understanding of the occurrence of SARA and varying degrees of rumen epithelial inflammation is lacking. Hence, we performed rumen metagenomic, metagenome-assembled genome and metabolomic analyses, with transcriptome and single-nucleus RNA sequence analyses, to explore the microbial mechanism of SARA occurrence and different degrees of inflammation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 36 goats fed two diets with gradually increasing levels of rumen-degradable starch (RDS) were included in this study, and SARA goats fed 70% concentrate diets supplemented with whole corn (HGW-SARA) and SARA goats fed 70% concentrate diets supplemented with crushed corn (HGC-SARA) were identified. Moreover, 11 goats fed a control basal diet, named LGW-CON, were also included. Compared with those in the LGW-CON group, the rumen fermentation capacity was enhanced, accompanied by ruminal epithelial and systemic inflammation, in goats from HGW-SARA and HGC-SARA. Between them, HGC-SARA goats presented less inflammation. Notably, the ruminal inflammation-related pathways were increased only in the HGW-SARA group but not in the HGC-SARA group. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the β diversity of SARA goats was significantly different from that of LGW-CON goats. Ruminococcus significantly increased in both SARA groups, whereas Prevotella and Bacteroidales significantly decreased, which was accompanied by a decrease in cellulose and hemicellulose enzymes and an increase in lysozymes and lipopolysaccharide synthesis enzymes. Multi-omics analysis of the ruminal contents and tissues suggested that epithelial inflammation was caused by disturbed ruminal microbiome-induced Th17 cell differentiation and IL-17 signalling pathway activation. Comparative analyses between the HGW-SARA and HGC-SARA groups highlighted the importance of Selenomonas and Bifidobacterium, as well as bacterial tryptophan metabolism, in the production of 3-indoleacetic acid, which mitigated ruminal epithelial inflammation by modulating Th17 cells and inhibiting IL-17 signalling. Ruminal microbiota transplantation from HGW-SARA goats to healthy dairy goats and mice revealed the role of microbes in epithelial inflammation. Additionally, 3-indoleacetic acid supplementation reduced rumen inflammation and the IL-17 concentration in the serum, improved VFAs absorption, and enhanced milk production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;This study unveiled that after SARA was induced by high-concentrate feeding, the rumen homeostasis was disrupted, and rumen fiber degradation capacity of dairy goats decreased, but the LPS synthesis capacity increased, and inflammation of the rumen ep","PeriodicalId":18447,"journal":{"name":"Microbiome","volume":"13 1","pages":"215"},"PeriodicalIF":12.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145355311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most carbon fixation in these systems is thought to be driven by plant and microbial photosynthesis, whereas chemosynthetic processes are assumed to play a minor role. However, these ecosystems often contain anoxic environments ideal for chemosynthetic microbes such as acetogens.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, we show that acetogens are abundant and active mediators of carbon sequestration in tidal wetland soils. We combined metagenomic analysis of CO<sub>2</sub> fixation genes and reconstruction of microbial genomes with enrichment and analysis of gas-fermenting acetogens in bioreactors. Genome-resolved metagenomics revealed that diverse microbes can mediate carbon fixation, primarily through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle and Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP). These include various bacteria and archaea capable of reductive acetogenesis. Based on these findings, we established bacterial enrichment cultures from tidal wetland soils using hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) and CO<sub>2</sub> as the sole energy and carbon sources. Bioreactor analysis revealed that these enrichments are dominated by clostridial acetogens that grow rapidly by converting CO<sub>2</sub> into acetate and other products.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Collectively, these results reveal Blue Carbon ecosystems harbor microbial communities that can exclusively subsist by using CO<sub>2</sub> as their sole electron acceptor and carbon source. This provides evidence for a novel carbon sink pathway within these ecosystems beyond the well-known mechanisms of photosynthetic carbon fixation and soil sequestration. Additionally, the discovery and enrichment of these chemosynthetic communities provide opportunities for developing further mechanisms of CO<sub>2</sub> removal through industrial gas fermentation.
