多金属复合胁迫下黑麦草的根际微生态响应及其强化植物修复的机制

Rhizosphere microbial responses of ryegrass under polymetallic combined stress and the mechanisms of enhanced phytoremediation

  • 摘要: 超标复合重金属污染土壤严重威胁生态安全和农产品质量,而单子叶禾本科植物在此类污染下的修复潜力及微生物协同机制缺乏研究。根据单一污染指数将土壤分为A组(Pi<30)、B组(PiZn>30)和C组(PiCd>30),以生长在其中的黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.)为研究对象,通过测定植株生物量与重金属生物富集系数(BCF),结合16S rRNA和PICRUSt2的测定,评估黑麦草在污染土壤中的修复能力及土壤微生物机制。结果表明,黑麦草在超高含量复合重金属污染土壤中仍可正常生长,A组、B组、C组平均生物量为5 627.50、4 793.80和6 980.45 mg/株;黑麦草对多种重金属都有富集效果,其中Cd的生物富集系数在A组、B组和C组均大于1,分别为3.01、1.00、6.64,C组修复效果最突出。Alpha多样性分析显示,B组和C组根际微生物多样性显著高于A组(P<0.05)。根际和非根际土壤均以子囊菌门为核心优势菌群,其相对丰度>40%。在根际土壤中,共鉴定出9个差异菌属,非根际土壤中有7个差异菌属,在高含量重金属污染环境中发挥着重要作用。PICRUSt2功能预测和KEGG注释结果显示,根际土壤中,3个关键功能酶与优势微生物菌属呈显著正相关,主要涉及离子转运和碳代谢;非根际土壤中,11个关键功能酶与优势微生物菌属呈显著正相关,主要参与有机质降解和能量代谢。结果显示,黑麦草在超高含量复合重金属污染土壤中具有较强修复潜力,土壤微生物可能通过功能酶调控发挥协同作用。

     

    Abstract: Soils contaminated with excessive combined heavy metals pose serious threats to ecological security and agricultural product quality; however, the remediation potential of monocotyledonous gramineous plants under such pollution conditions and their microbial synergistic mechanisms remain insufficiently studied. Soils were classified into three groups based on the single pollution index: Group A (Pi<30), Group B (PiZn>30), and Group C (PiCd>30). Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) grown in these soils was selected as the test plant. By determining plant biomass and heavy metal bioconcentration factors (BCF), combined with 16S rRNA sequencing and PICRUSt2 functional prediction, the phytoremediation potential of ryegrass in contaminated soils and the underlying soil microbial mechanisms were evaluated. The results showed that ryegrass was able to grow normally in soils with ultra-high combined heavy metal contamination, with average biomass values of 5 627.50, 4 793.80, and 6 980.45 mg/plant in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Ryegrass exhibited enrichment capacity for multiple heavy metals, among which the BCF of Cd was greater than 1 in all three groups, reaching 3.01, 1.00, and 6.64 in groups A, B, and C, respectively, indicating that group C achieved the most pronounced remediation effect. Alpha diversity analysis revealed that the rhizosphere microbial diversity in groups B and C was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05). Both rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils were dominated by Ascomycota as the core microbial phylum, with relative abundances exceeding 40%. A total of nine differential microbial genera were identified in rhizosphere soils, while seven differential genera were detected in non-rhizosphere soils, all of which played important roles under high-level heavy metal contamination. PICRUSt2 functional prediction and KEGG annotation indicated that, in rhizosphere soils, three key functional enzymes were significantly and positively correlated with dominant microbial genera and were mainly involved in ion transport and carbon metabolism. In non-rhizosphere soils, eleven key functional enzymes showed significant positive correlations with dominant microbial genera and were primarily associated with organic matter degradation and energy metabolism. Overall, the results demonstrate that ryegrass exhibits strong phytoremediation potential in soils contaminated with ultra-high levels of combined heavy metals, and that soil microorganisms may exert synergistic effects through the regulation of functional enzymes.
