Abstract:

Objective To explore the microbial characteristics in the Morchella spp. soil and provide scientific guidance for the rational cultivation of Morchella spp. Method High-throughput sequencing technology was applied to determine the communities and diversity indices of bacteria and fungi in the soils growing diseased and healthy Morchella spp., and further analyze their roles for transformation of soil substances, nutrient uptake and disease resistances of plant. Result The contents of available phosphorus, pH and the activity of catalase in the diseased Morchella spp. soil were significantly higher than those in healthy Morchella spp. soil, increasing with 13.22%, 6.18%, and 41.01%, respectively, while the activities of urease, acid phosphatase and sucrase significantly decreased with 58.58%, 31.85%, and 74.01% respectively. The bacterial indices of Chao1, ACE and Simpson in DM significantly decreased with 32.45%, 32.43%, and 20.42%, respectively compared to those in HM, and there was no significant change for fungal indices. The results of principal component analysis indicated that the community structure of bacteria (R2=0.195, P=0.028) and fungi (R2=0.17, P=0.001) in DM were significantly different from that in HM. The abundance of beneficial bacteria of Haliangium, Gemmatimonas and Flavobacterium in DMwere significantly lower than that in HM, which decreased by 92.85%, 90.48%, and 81.67%. The abundance of Enterobacter and Polaromonas in DMwere significantly higher than that in HM, which increased with 40.33 and 8.13 times, respectively. The abundance of beneficial fungus Schizothecium in DMwas significantly lower than that in HM, decreasing by 90.39%, and the abundance of Fusarium in the DM were significantly higher than that in HM, increasing with 2.51 times. The results of functional prediction showed that the metabolic pathways of bacteria in diseased Morchella spp. soil were different with that in healthy Morchella spp. soil, and the metabolic type of fungi was mainly saprotrophic. The results of Mantel analysis showed that the pH was the key factor affecting the fungal microbial community. The analysis of co-occurrence network showed that the average degree, total module number and average clustering coefficient of the bacterial and fungal network in the diseased Morchella spp. group were lower than those in the healthy group. Conclusion The richness and diversity of soil bacteria in the diseased Morchella spp. significantly decrease, the diseased Morchella spp. soil abundance of pathogen increase and that of the beneficial microbe decrease, and the complexity and stability of microbial network reduce, which are the important factors for the diseased Morchella spp.
