This study investigated how fungal necromass chemistry, specifically melanin, interacts with soil mineral properties and microbial communities to influence MAOM formation and persistence. We cultured the fungus <em>Hyaloscypha bicolor</em> to produce <sup>13</sup>C- and <sup>15</sup>N-labeled necromass with varying melanin content (high or low) and incubated it in both live and autoclaved soils collected from six Indiana forests that differed in their clay and iron oxide (FeOx) content. After 38 days, we found that seven times more fungal-derived N was incorporated into MAOM than fungal-derived C, with fungal N comprising 20% of the MAOM-N pool. Low melanin necromass formed more MAOM-C than high melanin necromass, although site-level differences in overall MAOM formation were substantial. Soil clay and FeOx content were strong predictors of MAOM formation, explaining ∼60% and ∼68% of the variation in MAOM-C and MAOM-N, respectively. However, microbial communities also significantly influenced MAOM formation, with MAOM-C formation enhanced and MAOM-N formation reduced in autoclaved soils. Furthermore, the relative abundance of fungal saprotrophs was negatively correlated, and bacterial richness was positively correlated with MAOM formation, and these relationships were influenced by necromass melanin content. Collectively, this study reveals that microbial communities and soil properties interactively mediate the incorporation of fungal necromass C and N into MAOM, with microbes differentially influencing C and N incorporation, and these processes being further modulated by necromass melanization.","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While fungal neutral lipid fatty acids (NLFAs) are widely accepted indicators of carbon storage, bacterial NLFAs are more ambiguous: they have been interpreted either as storage compounds or as degradation products of phospholipids, suggesting necromass. These conflicting interpretations limit the use of bacterial NLFAs in understanding microbial physiology and carbon cycling in soils. In this perspective, we revisit the functional origin of bacterial NLFAs by synthesising findings from microbial culture studies, screening of soil bacterial genomes, and a <sup>13</sup>C-labelling soil experiment. Our results suggest that many soil bacteria possess the genetic and physiological capacity to synthesise storage lipids, and actively allocate excess carbon into NLFAs under carbon-rich conditions—supporting their interpretation as storage rather than necromass markers. We also highlight assumptions about phospholipid degradation and note that its products are not necessarily recovered as NLFAs. We conclude that soil bacterial NLFAs are mainly derived from storage compounds, although contributions from degraded phospholipids and possibly other intracellular lipids need further validation. We propose targeted experiments to clarify their biochemical origin, and highlight bacterial NLFAs as underused but promising markers in soil science.","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SOM’s chemical complexity hampers our understanding of mechanistic links between SOM transformation, necromass imprints, and energy storage. Non-targeted molecular-levels techniques can provide insight into SOM’s molecular composition, energetic fingerprint and effects of manuring. We compared water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) from long-term manured soils with a set of fresh plant, bacterial and fungal necromass extracts by liquid chromatography Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (LC-FT-ICR-MS). Manuring increased WEOM complexity in polar, unsaturated, oxidised and energy-poor compounds. These changes were linked to a 2-3-fold increase in necromass markers. In comparison to unfertilized soil, manured WEOM was dominated by bacterial necromass markers over fungal ones, suggesting bacterial control of changes in WEOM’s energetic properties. Although unfertilized soils showed a smaller necromass imprint, fungal N-containing markers were present, suggesting a more dominant fungal energy use channel, and potential N mining. Despite the parallel shifts in necromass imprints and NOSC between soils, 83% of formulas were not assigned to any necromass, but explained most of the shift to a more bioavailable, oxidized and energy-poor WEOM via long-term manuring. This could suggest that manuring promotes the oxidation of pre-existing SOM not associated to fresh necromass (“priming”). Alternatively, this could point to a missing coverage of necromass compositional variability in our study. We demonstrate the potential of LC-FT-ICR-MS to complement classical necromass marker studies by reporting ∼600 novel, readily soluble microbial necromass markers, thereby providing an avenue to build comprehensive databases for a more robust annotation of SOM sources and transformation processes in the future.","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143979591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exposure to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO<sub>2</sub>) increases the quantity and alters the quality of exudates, which likely affects microbial activity and nitrogen (N) cycling. However, it is uncertain whether such changes will result in greater N availability for plants. In this field experiment, we used an automated root exudation system in a forest soil to mimic the increase in exudate C:N ratio observed under eCO<sub>2</sub>. After six months of continuous application, we measured N transformation rates in O-horizon soils and in root and fungi exclusion soil bags (41 μm and 1 μm mesh sizes) to partition the role of fungi and bacteria. Increasing exudate C:N ratio stimulated gross N mineralization, especially in the rhizosphere, by shifting microbial nutrient acquisition strategy towards a N-mining strategy. High exudate C:N ratio increased nitrification in the absence of roots when both fungi and bacteria were present. These results demonstrate that N transformations are driven more by the C:N stoichiometry than by labile C alone in root exudates, and are largely influenced by the rhizosphere environment. Exudate stoichiometry thus may play a key role in alleviating N limitation under future atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration.","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143979568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we first conducted a meta-analysis of several specific nitrification inhibitors: acetylene, 1-octyne, 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO), and chlorate, focusing on their effects on AOA, AOB and comammox <em>Nitrospira</em>. Acetylene broadly inhibited the growth of all ammonia oxidizers. Both 1-octyne and higher concentrations (≥1.5%) of DMPP exhibited dual regulatory effects: inhibiting the growth of AOB and comammox <em>Nitrospira</em> (clade B for 1-octyne; all clades for DMPP) while stimulating AOA growth. PTIO inhibited AOA and AOB but had no significant effect on comammox <em>Nitrospira</em> clade A growth. In contrast, chlorate specifically inhibited comammox <em>Nitrospira</em> growth. To assess the ecological relevance of these synthesized patterns, particularly the guild-specific effects, we conducted microcosm experiments. The results revealed that PTIO failed to inhibit AOA growth in wetland soil. The specificity of 1-octyne and chlorate is dose-dependent.

When nitrification is a two-step process, it depends on the successful metabolic interaction between ammonia oxidising archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), and nitrite oxidising bacteria primarily within <em>Nitrobacter</em> (NIB) and <em>Nitrospira</em> (NIS). However, consequences of dry spells caused by climate change on the composition and co-associations of these microbial guilds and the fate of nitrogen remain unclear. Here we subject four distinct soils to either one long or two shorter drought periods (7–11 % water holding capacity) followed by rewetting in a microcosm experiment to evaluate the hypothesis that drying-rewetting stress triggers distinct responses in the functional guilds due to differences in environmental preferences and adaptation strategies. While AOB were highly resistant, AOA were the most sensitive to drying among the four guilds and decreased in relative abundance. This coincided with reduced ammonia oxidation rates in three soils by on average 27 % compared to the control. However, we observed almost full recovery of AOA one week after rewetting. NIS, but not NIB, were strongly affected by rewetting with no recovery during the experiment, showing shifts in community composition and relative abundance with up to 30 % affected ASVs. Network analysis revealed that drying-rewetting affected co-occurrences between ammonia and nitrite oxidisers in a soil-dependant manner, possibly indicating a destabilisation of their metabolic interaction. Overall, this study emphasises the importance to consider weather extremes like drought on soil nitrifier community dynamics and the fate of nitrogen in soils.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21888,"journal":{"name":"Soil Biology & Biochemistry","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 109846"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
