The seeds from both wild and domesticated A. lancea exhibited shared microbial genera, while their communities were changed significantly. However, when A. lancea seeds from wild and domesticated germinated into seedlings under identical microbiological conditions, the leaves and root endophytic microbial and rhizosphere microbiome displayed similar genus. Remarkably, the rhizosphere microbial communities of the seedlings consistently enriched Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Paenibacillus, Variovorax, Conexibacter, and norank_f__Micropepsaceae.

However, such investigations are limited in Madagascar's tropical ecosystems. This study investigated the impacts of land cover types and seasonal variations on soil properties and microbial communities in the tropical forest region of Andasibe, Madagascar. Soil samples were collected from four land cover types-tree fallow (TSA), shrub fallow (SSA), eucalyptus forest (EUC), and degraded land (TM)-across three seasonal periods: the dry season, the start of the rainy season, and the end of the rainy season. Both land cover and sampling season affected soil pH and available P, whereas total nitrogen, soil organic carbon, and the C/N ratio were affected only by land cover. The soil organic carbon and total nitrogen concentrations were greater in TM. NextSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and ITS regions of the nuclear rRNA operon revealed distinct microbial community compositions across land covers, with greater diversity in the TSA and SSA. Bacteria are more sensitive to seasonal changes than are fungi, with phosphate-solubilizing (gcd) and phosphate-mineralizing (phoD) genes being more abundant in the rainy season, emphasizing the role of microbes in nutrient availability under different climatic conditions. Principal component analysis highlighted SSA as a hotspot for microbial activity, reinforcing the potential of shrub ecosystems in soil restoration.

Combining 16S rRNA genes, cell counts, pore water geochemistry, and bulk sediment profiles from a 100-m-long core, we present the first comprehensive characterization of the deep subsurface biosphere along a one-million-year lacustrine archive.

Although alpha and beta diversity reflected initial depletion of substrates during burial, they also varied across successive lithologies, indicating that sediment composition subsequent to deposition also affects diversity. The upper sediments (0-20 mblf) sheltered a dense and diverse microbial community involved in organic matter remineralization, actively producing and converting volatile fatty acids into carbon dioxide and methane. Deeper sediments (20-70 mblf) contained low-diversity microbial communities adapted to nutrient scarcity. In contrast, deepest lacustrine sediments (70-100 mblf) contained an increased microbial diversity reflecting greater availability of organic matter of terrestrial origin. Despite Bathyarchaeia being prime constituents of the deep subsurface biosphere, increased diversity in 16S rRNA gene composition was observed in discrete sediment layers (tephra, diatom ooze, peat).

These contaminants introduce microbiota that pose significant public health risks. This study utilizes 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding to characterize the bacterial communities along the Rímac River, examining both spatial (upper, middle, and lower basins) and temporal (dry and rainy seasons) variations. Over a year-long sampling period, DNA sequencing revealed pronounced microbiological differences between the Metropolitan and Regional zones, primarily driven by anthropogenic activities. Key findings include a significant reduction in microbial diversity and an increase in pathogenic bacteria within the Metropolitan zone, while the influence of seasonal variations and altitudinal gradients was comparatively minor. Betaproteobacteria emerged as the most abundant class across most samples. Notably, Aliarcobacter cryaerophilus, an indicator of fecal contamination and a potential public health hazard, was predominantly detected in the Metropolitan zone. These results underscore the necessity for comprehensive monitoring of the Rímac River's microbiota, incorporating advanced molecular techniques to effectively track and mitigate pollution.

However, they face numerous challenges, including pathogens threatening their survival and ecosystem services. Among these pathogens, Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite, causes significant damage to the intestinal tract and induces energetic imbalances in the organism, posing a major threat to both individual bees and entire colonies. In response to infections, bees often engage in behavioral defenses, such as self-medicating with antimicrobial substances available in their environment. We hypothesized that bees infected with N. ceranae might compensate behaviorally by increasing their carbohydrate consumption. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a meta-analysis of existing studies comparing sugar consumption in healthy and infected bees, complemented by an experimental study. In our experiment, we measured sugar intake and quantified trehalose levels in the hemolymph, a key indicator of energy reserves. Both the meta-analysis and experimental results consistently showed no significant differences in sugar consumption between healthy and infected bees. Similarly, trehalose levels in the hemolymph remained comparable between the two groups. Our findings suggest that the infection caused by N. ceranae does not elicit compensatory feeding behavior in honeybees. Moreover, the meta-analysis revealed significant gaps in current research, particularly a lack of studies focusing on forager bees, which face the highest energetic demands among colony members.

Over the past decade, increasing research efforts to understand and combat these challenges have led to an exploration of the honeybee gut microbiome-a relatively simple and highly conserved community of commensals which has a range of effects on the host. Researchers have now unravelled the main functional roles of this microbiome which include innate immune system stimulation, metabolism of dietary compounds, and mediation of host development and behaviour. Key amongst these is its role in aiding nutrition through the metabolism of complex carbohydrates and by degradation of otherwise indigestible pollen compounds. Increasingly, research is indicating that a diverse and high-quality pollen diet is key to maintaining healthy colonies and a stable microbiome. However, colonies can struggle to meet these dietary needs, particularly if they are located in anthropized ecosystems. Disruptions to honeybee diets or a reduction in the availability of diverse foraging options can significantly alter the composition of the microbiome, shifting it towards an abnormal state that leaves the honeybee more vulnerable to infection. Seasonal changes, primarily the overwintering period, also induce shifts in microbiome composition and are periods of time when a colony is particularly vulnerable to pathogenic infection. A comprehensive understanding of the effect these variables have on both microbiome composition and colony health is key to tackling the unprecedented environmental challenges that honeybees now face. This review summarises recent research which has elucidated the functional role of the gut microbiome in metabolism and how the composition of this bacterial community can alter due to seasonal change, anthropized landscapes, and dietary shifts. Finally, we also discuss recent studies investigating the effect that dietary supplementation has on the gut microbiome and the application of probiotic candidates for improving colony resilience and strength.</p>","PeriodicalId":18708,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Ecology","volume":"88 1","pages":"54"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12116653/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144151195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each soil type had its own distinct microbial communities, and proximal soil was identified as a transition zone between rhizosphere and bulk microbial communities. We also observed that the rhizosphere communities were dependent upon geography, as these communities were significantly different between grasslands even though the plant species remained the same. Our results highlight the complex nature of soil microbial communities and how many factors, including pH, soil type, and geography, can be overlayed to impact soil microbes.
