Although the effects of phyllosphere microbial communities on host functional traits and their association with host phylogeny has been widely investigated, it remains unclear whether host selection consistently drives the assembly of these communities. In this study, bacterial and fungal communities on the surfaces of 734 leaf samples were characterized using bacterial and fungal amplicon sequencing. These microbial communities were associated with 42 plant species native to the Gurbantunggut Desert, a representative temperate desert located in Central Asia. The research assessed the relative contributions of plant-related factors, abiotic environmental variables (such as climate and soil), and spatial components to the observed variation in phyllosphere microbial communities, and further inferred the topological structure of plant-microbe interaction networks. The results indicate that plant phylogeny, plant functional traits, abiotic environment conditions, and spatial factors account for variations in the bacterial community composition (36.4 %, 4.6 %, 1.0 %, and 0.1 %, respectively) and the fungal community composition (28.6 %, 3.0 %, 1.5 %, and 1.2 %, respectively), following a hierarchical trend of plant phylogeny &gt; plant functional traits &gt; abiotic environment &gt; space. Plant phylogeny and functional traits play a central role in shaping the assembly of phyllosphere microbial communities, indicating that plant filtering effects significantly influence microbial composition. Analysis of plant-microbe interactions reveals distinct preferences of microbial taxa for plant hosts across different taxonomic levels and geographic regions. Bipartite network analysis further illustrates that plant-microbe networks are highly specialized and modular, with plant-fungal networks exhibiting greater host specificity compared to plant-bacterial networks. Collectively, these findings underscore plant filtering as the primary determinant of microbial community assembly in the desert phyllosphere and provide valuable insights into the macroecological patterns shaping plant-microbe interactions in arid ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18564,"journal":{"name":"Microbiological research","volume":"302 ","pages":"Article 128355"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145244386","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}

In this study, starting with structurally simple phenolic acids, the chemotactic response of <em>A. tumefaciens</em> C58 was investigated. The chemotaxis of <em>A. tumefaciens</em> toward 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate is not impacted by the methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) Atu0387 and Atu0738, which share a four-helix bundle domain with previously discovered phenolic-sensing MCPs. To identify chemoreceptors for phenolic acids, a heterologous expression and functional screening system was constructed in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. Among the 13 MCPs, Atu0872 could respond to both 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate. Furthermore, <em>atu0872</em> deletion weakened chemotaxis toward vanillin, acetosyringone, guaiacol, caffeic, vanillic, salicylic, gallic, <em>p</em>-coumaric, syringic, and sinapinic acids. Although the ligand-binding domain of Atu0872 was predicted to be a nitrate- and nitrite-sensing domain, the <em>A. tumefaciens</em> deletion mutant <em>Δatu0872</em> did not affect chemotaxis toward nitrate and nitrite. In addition to chemotaxis, <em>atu0872</em> deletion decreased the tumor weight on <em>Daucus carota</em> roots, <em>Kalanchoe daigremontiana</em> leaves, and the number of bacterial colonies per 0.1 g of tumor, implying that <em>atu0872</em> affects bacterial colonization on the host by regulating chemotactic behavior.

While the structure and shaping factors, including phytosanitary treatments, of citrus root and leaf microbiomes are well documented, the carposphere (fruit surface) microbiome and its response to phytosanitary inputs remain poorly understood. In the present study, we combined culture independent (amplicon sequencing) and culture dependent techniques to analyse the citrus carposphere microbiome across three citrus hosts and its response to field-applied phytosanitary treatments (biologicals and copper-antimicrobials). Despite host-specific variation in the relative abundance of dominant taxa such as Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Basidiomycota, all three citrus hosts shared a core microbiome, consistently present across fruit samples. Bacterial diversity and composition were negatively influenced by copper treatments, whereas biological products (chitosan, sweet orange essential oils and their mixtures) had minimal or no negative impacts. Fungal communities, including potential pathogens, appeared less sensitive to treatments. Network analysis confirmed that copper altered microbial interactions, increasing mutual exclusion relationships between bacterial taxa compared to untreated or biologically treated samples, which were dominated by positive interactions. A parallel survey of cultivable microbiota from the same samples identified potential biocontrol agents (BCAs) against <em>Colletotrichum gloeosporioides</em> and <em>Alternaria alternata</em>.
