Culture-Independent Molecular Tools for Soil and Rhizosphere Microbiology

چکیده
Soil microbial communities play an important role in plant health and soil quality. Researchers have developed a wide range of methods for studying the structure, diversity, and activity of microbes to better understand soil biology and plant-microbe interactions. Functional microbiological analyses of the rhizosphere have given new insights into the role of microbial communities in plant nutrition and plant protection against diseases. In this review, we present the most commonly used traditional as well as new culture-independent molecular methods to assess the diversity and function of soil microbial communities. Furthermore, we discuss advantages and disadvantages of these techniques and provide a perspective on emerging technologies for soil microbial community profiling.

Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are dominant and metabolically active in rhizosphere soil.
A culture-independent survey was performed to search for 16S rRNA gene sequences representing dominant and metabolically active bacteria in rhizosphere soil. PCR- and reverse transcription-PCR-derived clone libraries were constructed from DNA and RNA directly extracted from the soil sample. Acidobacteria-related sequences occupied an unusually large proportion (>50%) of both rDNA- and rRNA-deri...
متن کاملAbiotic factors shape microbial diversity in Sonoran Desert soils.
High-throughput, culture-independent surveys of bacterial and archaeal communities in soil have illuminated the importance of both edaphic and biotic influences on microbial diversity, yet few studies compare the relative importance of these factors. Here, we employ multiplexed pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to examine soil- and cactus-associated rhizosphere microbial communities of the So...
متن کاملBacterial origin and community composition in the barley phytosphere as a function of habitat and presowing conditions.
An understanding of the factors influencing colonization of the rhizosphere is essential for improved establishment of biocontrol agents. The aim of this study was to determine the origin and composition of bacterial communities in the developing barley (Hordeum vulgare) phytosphere, using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA genes amplified from extracted DNA. Di...
متن کاملAnalysis of Rhizosphere Fungal Communities Using rRNA and rDNA
Soils and soil-borne microbial communities are probably the greatest source of organismal diversity on Earth. In this soil matrix, plant roots and the soil impacted by those roots – the rhizosphere – host a great diversity of fungi. Fungal community composition in soil and rhizosphere has been assessed by growing fungi from environmental samples in different pure culture media. These studies ha...
متن کاملPolyphasic analysis of the bacterial community in the rhizosphere and roots of Cyperus rotundus L. grown in a petroleum-contaminated soil.
Cyperus rotundus L. is a perennial herb which was found prevailing in an area in the northeast of Brazil previously contaminated with petroleum. In order to enlarge the knowledge of microorganism-plant interaction in phytoremediation, the bacterial community present in the rhizosphere and roots of C. rotundus was evaluated by culture-dependent and molecular approaches. PCR-DGGE analyses based o...
