Rhizosphere Effect of Tall Fescue on the Structure and Functions of the Bacterial Community in Response to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in an Aged Agricultural Soil
To investigate the bacterial mechanism of PAH degradation in an aged-contaminated agricultural soil planted with tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), a rhizo-box experiment was conducted for 60 days.The residual PAH concentrations in soils were quantified.Shifts in bacterial community structure were assessed based on cDNA, and the abundance and activity of total bacteria and PAH-degrader were monitored by quantification of 16S rDNA, PAH-ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (PAH-RHDα) genes and their transcripts.We found soil bacteria were dominated by Alphaproteobacteria (45.2%) and Gammaproteobacteria (25.8%).Tall rescue positively affected the abundance and activity of total bacteria in the soil., and stimulated RHDα gram-negative gene expression while inhibited RHDα gram-postive gene expression.These suggest that PAH dissipation in rhizosphere soil can be explained by modifications in the microbial community structure, an increase in the abundance of PAH-degraders, and RHDα GN gene expression enhancement during the incubation.
