Abstract:
Bacterial community and soil enzymatic activity depend on soil and management conditions. Fertilization is an important approach to maintain and enhance enzyme activities and microbial community diversity. Although the effects of fertilizer application on soil microbial community and related parameters are explored, the effects on the soil microbiome associated with those of wheat plant organs, including those associated with roots and spikelets, are not well-known. Therefore, in this study, by using a sequencing approach, we assessed the effects of inorganic fertilizers, manure, and biochar on soil enzyme activities, bacterial community diversity and structure in the bulk soil, rhizosphere, roots, and spikelet of wheat (Triticumaestivum L.). For this, different treatment biochar (BC), manure (OM), low mineral fertilizer (HL), high mineral fertilizer (HF), and no fertilizer (FO) were used for the enzyme activities and bacterial community structure diversity tested. The result showed that organic amendment application increased total nitrogen, soil available phosphorus, and potassium compared to inorganic fertilizer and control, especially in the rhizosphere. Enzyme activities were generally higher in the rhizosphere than in the bulk soil and organic amendments increased activities of acid phosphatase (AcP), β-1,4-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG), and phenol oxydase (PhOx). Compared with soil and rhizosphere, bacterial diversity was lower in wheat roots and evenlower in the spikelet. From the bulk soil, rhizosphere to roots, the fertilization regimes maintained bacterial diversity, while organic amendment increased bacterial diversity in the spikelet. Fertilization regimes significantly influenced the relative abundances of 74 genera across 12 phyla in the four compartments. Interestingly, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria (Citrobacter, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, and unclassified Enterobacteriaceae) in the spikelet was decreased by increasing inorganic fertilizer and further by manure and biochar, whereas those of Actinobacteria (Microbacterium and an unclassified Microbacteriaceae) and Bacteroidetes (Hymenobacter and Chitinophagaceae) were increased. The results suggest that potential bacterial functions of both roots and above-ground parts of wheat would be changed by different organic amendment regimes (manure and biochar).
