It is currently unclear whether necromass metabolites from various microbes are different, whether certain groups of metabolites are preferentially utilized over others, or whether different microbial species respond to various necromass metabolites. In this study, we aimed to fill these knowledge gaps by designing enrichments with necromass as the sole nutrient source for subsurface microbial communities. We used the soluble fraction of necromass from bacterial isolates belonging to <i>Arthrobacter</i>, <i>Agrobacterium</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas</i> genera, and our results indicate that metabolite composition of necromass varied slightly across different strains but generally included amino acids, organic acids, and nucleic acid constituents. <i>Arthrobacter</i>-derived necromass appeared more recalcitrant. Necromass metabolites enriched diverse microbial genera, particularly <i>Massilia</i> sp. responded quickly regardless of the necromass source. Despite differences in necromass utilization, microbial community composition converged rapidly over time across the three different necromass amendments. Uracil, xanthine, valine, and phosphate-containing isomers were generally depleted over time, indicating microbial assimilation for maintenance and growth. However, numerous easily assimilable metabolites were not significantly depleted, suggesting efficient necromass recycling and the potential for necromass stabilization in systems. This study highlights the dynamic interactions between microbial necromass metabolites and subsurface microbial communities, revealing both selective utilization and rapid community and necromass convergence regardless of the necromass source.</p>","PeriodicalId":73516,"journal":{"name":"ISME communications","volume":"5 1","pages":"ycaf006"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843093/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results revealed that the root microhabitat, the host plant and their interactions were the main contributors to the bacterial community shift (R<sup>2</sup> = 15.5%, 8.1%, and 22.3%, respectively), and plant interspecies replacement had a greater effect on the shift in the root-associated microbial community than intraspecies replacement did during succession. The root-associated bacterial community of pioneer plants was particularly responsive to succession, especially the endosphere community. Endosphere microbial diversity was positively correlated with host plant coverage change, and the diversity and abundance of taxon recruitment into the endosphere of pioneer plants from the surrounding environment decreased as succession progressed. The community assembly processes also indicated that the endosphere microbiota are strongly selected in younger host plants, whereas stochastic processes dominate in aged host plants.

Here, we engineered two auxotrophic <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains, each dependent on the other for essential amino acid production, to investigate the dynamics of syntrophic relationships. Through invasion-from-rare experiments, we observed the rapid formation of syntrophic consortia stabilized by frequency-dependent selection, converging to a 2:1 ratio of lysine-to-arginine auxotrophs. However, laboratory evolution over 25 days revealed that syntrophic interactions were evolutionarily unstable, with cocultures collapsing as ΔL cells dominated the population. Reduced fitness in cocultures was driven by the emergence of a \"selfish\" ΔL phenotype, characterized by decreased arginine production and exploitation of lysine produced by ΔA cells. Dynamic metabolic assays revealed that metabolite production and utilization patterns strongly influenced the fitness of each strain. ΔL cells displayed metabolic plasticity, adjusting lysine utilization in response to lysine availability, which enabled them to outcompete ΔA cells. In contrast, ΔA cells lacked similar plasticity, resulting in their negative selection. These findings demonstrate that asymmetric metabolic responses and the emergence of selfish phenotypes destabilize syntrophic relationships.
