    Abstract The study of plant-microbe associations by new techniques has significantly improved our understanding of the structure and specificity of the plant microbiome. Yet, microbiome function and the importance of the plant's microbiome in the context of human and plant health are largely unexplored. Comparable with our human microbiome, millions of microbes inhabit plants, forming complex ecological communities that influence plant growth and health through its collective metabolic activities and host interactions. Viewing the microbiota from an ecological perspective can provide insight into how to promote plant health and stress tolerance of their hosts or how to adapt to a changing climate by targeting this microbial community. Moreover, the plant microbiome has a substantial impact on human health by influencing our gut microbiome by eating raw plants such as lettuce and herbs but also by influencing the microbiome of our environment through airflow. This research topic comprising reviews, original and opinion articles highlights the current knowledge regarding plant microbiomes, their specificity, diversity and function as well as all aspects studying the management of plant microbiomes to enhance plant growth, health quality and stress tolerance

    Abstract Background: Seed endophytic bacteria are beneficial to plants. They improve seedling growth by enhancing plant nutrient uptake, modulating stress-related phytohormone production, and targeting pests and pathogens with antibiotics. Seed endophyte composition can be influenced by pollination, plant cultivar, and soil physicochemical conditions. However, the effects of plant community richness on seed endophytes are unknown. To investigate the effects of increasing plant species richness on the diversity and composition of the seed microbiome, we made use of a well-established long-term biodiversity experiment in Germany (The Jena Experiment). We sampled seeds from different Plantago lanceolata blossoms in a plant diversity gradient ranging from monoculture to 16 species mixtures. The seeds were surface sterilized to remove seed surface-associated bacteria and subjected to a metabarcoding approach to assess bacterial community structure.
    Results: Our data indicate a very stable core microbiome, which accounted for more than 90% of the reads and was present in all seeds independent of the plant richness level the seeds originated from. It consisted mainly of reads linked to Pseudomonas rhizosphaerae, Sphingomonas faeni and Pirellulla spp. 9% of the obtained reads were not part of the core microbiome and were only present in plots of specific diversity levels. The number of unique ASVs was positively correlated with plant richness. Interestingly, most reads described as non-core members belonged to the same genera described as the core microbiome, indicating the presence of different strains or species with possibly different functional properties important for seed performance.
    Conclusion: Our data indicate that Plantago lanceolata maintains a large seeds core microbiome across the plant richness gradient. However, the number of unique ASVs increases alongside the plant community richness, indicating that ecosystem biodiversity also mitigates diversity loss in seed endophytes.

    Abstract Plant legacy effects observed in plant-soil feedback experiments have largely been attributed to the root or litter material of the previous plant. The legacy effects of rhizodeposits are defined as changes in the soil microbiome that remain after a plant has died or been removed from the soil and caused by the release of substances of various compositions by living plants (rhizodeposits). Rhizodeposit-mediated legacy effects have been largely ignored mainly due to the high spatial and temporal variability of rhizodeposits and difficulties quantifying and tracking them in the rhizosphere. In this perspective article, we discuss what is known about the legacy effects of rhizodeposits and provide ideas for future experiments to improve understanding of this phenomenon. Only a few studies separate rhizodeposit-mediated plant legacy effects from legacy effects of root decomposition. Results from these experiments indicate that rhizodeposit-mediated legacy effects on soil microbial communities may persist for several months to several years, especially if the same crop is cultivated persistently for several years in a ‘conditioning’ phase. Rhizodeposit-mediated legacy effects on fungal communities usually last longer than those on bacterial communities due to fungal life-cycle strategies (spore formation) and slower reproduction rates, compared to bacterial communities. We highlight the need for further experimentation to investigate the influence that the length of a conditioning phase has on the persistence of the legacy effect, differentiate the effect of root exudates from the effects of sloughed root cells, separate the influence of simple sugars from that of high molecular-weight exudates and plant derived compounds with antimicrobial properties, and explore whether plant species diversity influences the nature of the legacy. To address these questions, we propose the use of contemporary tools such as stable isotope probing, plant genetics, and reverse microdialysis. We think that harnessing rhizodeposit-mediated plant legacy effects could be a promising approach to improve sustainable crop production by creating disease-suppressive soils and simulating plant growth-promoting micro-organisms within soil systems.

    Abstract Arctic tundra fires have been increasing in extent, frequency and intensity and are likely impacting both soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling and, thus, permafrost ecosystem functioning. However, little is known on the underlying microbial mechanisms, and different fire intensities were neglected so far. To better understand immediate influences of different fire intensities on the soil microbiome involved in nutrient cycling in permafrost-affected soil, we deployed experimental fires with low and high intensity on an Arctic tundra soil on Disko Island, Greenland. Soil sampling took place three days postfire and included an unburned control. Using quantitative real-time PCR, copy numbers of 16S and ITS as well as of 17 genes coding for functional microbial groups catalyzing major steps of N and P turnover were assessed. We show that fires change the abundance of microbial groups already after three days with fire intensity as key mediating factor. Specifically, low-intensity fire significantly enhanced the abundance of chiA mineralizers and ammonia-oxidizing archaea, while other groups were not affected. On the contrary, high-intensity fire decreased the abundance of chiA mineralizers and of microbes that fix dinitrogen, indicating a dampening effect on N cycling. Only high-intensity fires enhanced ammonium concentrations (by an order of magnitude). This can be explained by burned plant material and the absence of plant uptake, together with impaired further N processing. Fire with high intensity also decreased nirK-type denitrifiers. In contrast, after fire with low intensity there was a trend for a decreased nosZ : (nirK+nirS) ratio, indicating – together with increased nitrate concentrations – an enhanced potential for nitric oxide and nitrous oxide emissions. Concerning P transformation, only gcd was affected in the short term which is important for P solubilization. Changes in gene numbers consistently showed the same contrasting pattern of elevated abundance with low fire intensity and decreased abundance with high fire intensity. Differentiating fire intensities is therefore crucial for further, longer-term studies of fire-induced changes in N and P transformations and potential nutrient-climate feedbacks of permafrost-affected soils.

    Abstract Hydrogenotrophic denitrifiers are important bacteria for nitrate removal in wastewater and aquifers. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three hydrogenotrophic denitrifiers, namely, Dechloromonas denitrificans strain D110, Ferribacterium limneticum strain F76, and Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis strain H3, all of which were isolated from a nitrate-polluted aquifer in Bavaria (Germany).
