International audience | Burkholderia pseudomallei is the bacterium that causes melioidosis in humans. While B. pseudomallei is known to be endemic in South East Asia (SEA), the occurrence of the disease in other parts of the tropics points towards a potentially large global distribution. We investigated the environmental factors that influence the presence (and absence) of B. pseudomallei in a tropical watershed in SEA. Our main objective was to determine whether there is a link between the presence of the organism in the hydrographic network and the upstream soil and land-use type. The presence of B. pseudomallei was determined using a specific quantitative real-time PCR assay following enrichment culture. Land use, soil, geomorphology, and environmental data were then analyzed using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) to compare the B. pseudomallei positive and negative sites. Soil type in the surrounding catchment and turbidity had a strong positive influence on the presence (acrisols and luvisols) or absence (ferralsols) of B. pseudomallei. Given the strong apparent links between soil characteristics, water turbidity, and the presence/absence of B. pseudomallei, actions to raise public awareness about factors increasing the risk of exposure should be undertaken in order to reduce the incidence of melioidosis in regions of endemicity.

اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Fate of microbial pollutants and evolution of antibiotic resistance in three types of soil amended with swine slurry
2019
Sui, Qianwen | Zhang, Junya | Chen, Meixue | Wang, Rui | Wang, Yawei | Wei, Yuansong
Swine waste is a reservoir of microbial pollutants, including pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB); therefore, soil fertilized with swine waste is an essential pathway for the dissemination of microbial pollutants from concentrated swine farms to the public. To rationalize the intervals of swine wastes application and investigate the effects of soil type on the occurrences of microbial pollutants and antibiotic resistance, pot experiments were conducted with three typical soils, humic acrisol, calcaric cambisols and histosols, being collected from south, northwest and northeast China (soil-R, soil-Y and soil-B, respectively). The soils were amended with swine slurry, digestate and chemical fertilizers and then conducted for 172 days. The influence of microbial pollutants and antibiotic resistance in soil posed by digestate application was similar to that of the chemical fertilizers, while swine slurry posed high risks to the soil. Soil-B which had the highest organic matter and neutral pH was least influenced by the swine slurry amendment. tetG, tetM and ermF were persistent ARGs in the slurry treated soil, and their decay rates fitted to first-order kinetics in the order soil-B> soil-Y > soil-R. Putative pathogens showed strong correlations with ARGs, suggesting a risk of dissemination. The initial 43–82 days was the active phase of microbial pollution in slurry treated soil, during which time heavy metals, moisture content, total organic carbon and the microbial community were key factors contributing to changes in antibiotic resistance. Fertilization intervals of livestock wastes should be lengthened over the ARG active phase.
اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Citric acid modified biochar application at a low dosage can synchronically mitigate the nitrogenous gas pollutants emission from rice paddy soils
2022

Raw biochar with high pH possibly stimulated ammonia (NH₃) volatilization in the agricultural soil. We hypothesized that the modified biochar (MBC) with low pH can synchronically decrease the NH₃ and nitrous oxide (N₂O) losses. We performed a two-year experiment to clarify how citric acid MBC influence the NH₃ volatilization and N₂O emission as well as the underlying mechanisms. Two typical paddy soils, i.e., Hydragric Anthrosol and Haplic Acrisol, receiving equal urea N with 240 kg ha⁻¹ but varied rates of MBC with 0, 5, 10, and 20 t ha⁻¹ (named Urea, Urea + MBC5, Urea + MBC10, and Urea + MBC20, respectively) were studied. The results showed that MBC-amended treatments effectively mitigated the NH₃ volatilization from Hydragric Anthrosol and Haplic Acrisol by 29.6%–57.9% and 30.5%–62.4% in 2017, and by 16.5%–21.0% and 24.5%–35.0% in 2018, respectively, compared to Urea treatment. In addition, significantly lower N₂O emissions with averaged 38.3% and 43.1% in 2017, and 51.7% and 26.7% were recorded under Hydragric Anthrosol and Haplic Acrisol, respectively, following the MBC application (P < 0.05). Increased MBC addition performed higher efficacy on mitigating NH₃ volatilization, particularly in the first rice season, while this “dosage effect” was not found for N₂O reduction. Lowered pH in overlying water, enhanced adsorption of NH₄⁺-N and its nitrification rate likely contributed to the lower NH₃ volatilization as result of MBC addition. The nirS and nosZ gene copies were not changed by MBC, while the nirK gene copies were decreased as result of MBC amendment by 8.3%–25.2% under Hydragric Anthrosol and by 21.8%–24.9% under Haplic Acrisol. Consequent lower ratio of nirK/(nirS + nosZ) explained the mitigation effect of MBC on N₂O emission. In conclusion, the present two-year study recommends that MBC applied at a low dosage can perform positive effect on controlling the nitrogenous gas pollutants from paddy soil.

Effects of H2SO4 and HNO3 on Soil Acidification and Aluminum Speciation in Variable and Constant Charge Soils
2001
Xu, R. K. | Ji, G. L.
The difference in effect on acidification and species of aluminum speciation between HNO₃ and H₂SO₄for two contrasting types of soils in surface charge was investigated. The results show that the effect of H₂SO₄ on acidification of variable charge soils (Ferric Acrisol and Haplic Acrisol) of subtropical regions wasweaker than that of HNO₃, due to the specific adsorption of SO₄ ²⁻ and the accompanied release of OH⁻. For two constant charge soils, Haplic Luvisol andEutric Cambisol, the difference in effect between the two acids is small. The concentrations of total inorganic monomeric aluminum, Al³⁺, Al-F complexes and Al-SO₄complexes in the extract from variable charge soils are alsolower in H₂SO₄ systems than those in HNO₃ systems, whereas the reverse is true for constant charge soils, except the concentration of Al³⁺. For variable charge soils, Al-F complexes are the major species of inorganic monomeric aluminum at high pH butAl³⁺ might contribute to a largepart at low pH, while for constant charge soils Al-F complexes contribute almost exclusively to the inorganic monomeric aluminum. The presence of a large amount of SO₄ ²⁻ in the extract from the constant charge soilsleads to a higher proportion of Al-SO₄ complexes in totalinorganic monomeric aluminum than that from variable charge soil, although the numerical value of proportion is small.

Lime or dolomite is commonly implemented to ameliorate soil acidity. However, the impact of dolomite on CO₂ emissions from acidic soils is largely unknown. A 53-day laboratory study was carried out to investigate CO₂ emissions by applying dolomite to an acidic Acrisol (rice-rapeseed rotation [RR soil]) and a Ferralsol (rice-fallow/flooded rotation [RF soil]). Dolomite was dosed at 0, 0.5, and 1.5 g 100 g⁻¹ soil, herein referred to as CK, L, and H, respectively. The soil pH₍H₂O₎ increased from 5.25 to 7.03 and 7.62 in L and H treatments of the RR soil and from 5.52 to 7.27 and 7.77 in L and H treatments of the RF soil, respectively. Dolomite application significantly (p ≤ 0.001) increased CO₂ emissions in both RR and RF soils, with higher emissions in H as compared to L dose of dolomite. The cumulative CO₂ emissions with H dose of dolomite were greater 136% in the RR soil and 149% in the RF soil as compared to CK, respectively. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) increased and reached at 193 and 431 mg kg⁻¹ in the RR soil and 244 and 481 mg kg⁻¹ in the RF soil by H treatments. The NH₄ ⁻-N and NO₃ ⁻-N were also increased by dolomite application. The increase in C and N contents stimulated microbial activities and therefore higher respiration in dolomite-treated soil as compared to untreated. The results suggest that CO₂ release in dolomite-treated soils was due to the priming of soil C content rather than chemical reactions.

2016
Huang, Honglin | Wang, Sen | Lv, Jitao | Xu, Xuehui | Zhang, Shuzhen
Behaviors of BDE-28 and BDE-47 in two distinct soils (Phaeozem and Acrisol) as affected by the separate addition of root exudate components (i.e., oxalic acid, glycine, and fructose) were investigated by a soil microcosm incubation experiment. The results showed that root exudate components promoted the desorption of BDE-28 (57.6–235.0 %) and BDE-47 (56.9–223.7 %) from the soils due to the enhancement of their water solubilities. The addition of root exudate components increased the n-butanol extractability of BDE-28 and BDE-47 by 20.3–72.5 and 48.6–169.2 %, respectively, which had a positive correlation with the concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the soils (p < 0.01), suggesting that the increase of DOC in the soils by root exudate components was the major factor to enhance the extractability. Fructose and oxalic acid promoted the desorption and increased the availability of BDE-28 and BDE-47 in the soils more efficiently than glycine. The addition of different root exudate components resulted in distinct shifts in soil microbial community structure (p < 0.05). Oxalic acid caused the greatest impacts on the soil bacterial communities and increased the degradation rates of BDE-28 and BDE-47 most obviously. The findings of this study clarified the roles of root exudate components in affecting the behaviors of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in soils.
اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Contrasting effects of iron reduction on thionation of diphenylarsinic acid in a biostimulated Acrisol
2020
Zhu, Meng | Luo, Yongming | Cheng, Nannan | Yang, Ruyi | Zhang, Juqin | Zhang, Mengyun | Christie, Peter
Diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) is an emerging phenylarsenic compound derived from chemical warfare agents. It has been suggested that biostimulation of sulfate reduction decreases the concentrations of DPAA in soils. However, biostimulation often induces Fe(III) reduction which may affect the mobility and thereby the transformation of DPAA. Here, a soil incubation experiment was carried out to elucidate the impact of Fe(III) reduction on the mobilization and transformation of DPAA in a biostimulated Acrisol with the addition of sulfate and lactate. DPAA was significantly mobilized and then thionated in the sulfide soil (amended with sulfate and sodium lactate) compared with the anoxic soil (without addition of sulfate or sodium lactate). At the start of the incubation period, 41.8% of the total DPAA in sulfide soil was mobilized, likely by the addition of sodium lactate, and DPAA was then almost completely released into the solution after 2 weeks of incubation, likely due to Fe(III) reduction. The relatively low fraction of oxalate-extractable Fe in Acrisol, which contributes significantly to DPAA sorption and is more active and reduction-susceptible, may explain the observation that only < 40% of the Fe(III) (hydr)oxides were reduced when DPAA was completely released into the solution. A more rapid and final enhanced elimination of DPAA was observed in sulfide soil and the fraction of total DPAA decreased to 60.1 and 91.0%, respectively, at the end of the incubation in sulfide soil and anoxic soil. The difference appears to result from increased DPAA mobilization and sulfate reduction in sulfide soil. On the other hand, the formation of FeS precipitate, a product of Fe and sulfate reduction, may reduce the efficiency of DPAA thionation. Accordingly, the potentially contrasting effects of Fe(III) reduction on DPAA thionation need be considered when planning biostimulated sulfate reduction strategies for DPAA-contaminated soils.

2018
Silvestre, Wendel Paulo | Galafassi, Paula Lúcia | Ferreira, Suelem Daiane | Godinho, Marcelo | Pauletti, Gabriel Fernandes | Baldasso, Camila
In this work, fodder radish seed cake (FRSC) was pyrolyzed in a rotary kiln reactor at 0, 3, and 6 rpm, at final temperature of 500 °C. Maximum biochar yield was observed at 0 rpm (≈ 26 wt.%). Increase of the rotary speed decreased the volatile matter content and increased the ash content of the biochars. Biochars exhibited alkaline pH (≈ 9.0), low electrical conductivity (< 105.6 dS m⁻¹), and high cation exchange capacity (69 to 78 cmolc kg⁻¹), as well as high nitrogen contents (≈ 80 g kg⁻¹). FTIR analysis presented biochars with similar spectra, with carboxyl and carbonyl groups within the structure, along with aromatic rings and nitrogen containing functions (amides). Biochar incubation experiments in an acrisol at different biochar doses (5 g L⁻¹ soil to 40 g L⁻¹ soil) were performed in order to evaluate changes in soil fertility parameters caused by FRSC biochar application. Results indicated that most of macro (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) and micronutrients (S, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Na) increased with increase of the dosage, along with the decrease in Al and H+ Al contents. An increase in pH (from 4.25 to 5.33) was also observed, in electric conductivity (from 30.0 to 45.7 dS m⁻¹), and a decrease in soil real density (from 3.67 to 2.99 kg L⁻¹) at the dosage of 40 g char L⁻¹ soil.
