Ammonia- and Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria: The Abundance, Niches and Compositional Differences for Diverse Soil Layers in Three Flooded Paddy Fields
Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) and methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play cogent roles in oxidation and nitrification processes, and hence have important ecological functions in several ecosystems. However, their distribution and compositional differences in different long-term flooded paddy fields (FPFs) management at different soil depths remains under-investigated. Using qPCR and phylogenetic analysis, this study investigated the abundance, niches, and compositional differences of AOA, AOB, and MOB along with their potential nitrification and oxidation rate in three soil layers from three FPFs (ShaPingBa (SPB), HeChuan (HC), and JiDi (JD)) in Chongqing, China. In all the FPFs, CH4 oxidation occurred mainly in the surface (0−3 cm) and subsurface layers (3−5 cm). A significant difference in potential methane oxidation and nitrification rates was observed among the three FPFs, in which SPB had the highest. The higher amoA genes are the marker for abundance of AOA compared to AOB while pmoA genes, which is the marker for MOB abundance and diversity, indicated their significant role in the nitrification process across the three FPFs. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that AOA were mainly composed of Nitrososphaera, Nitrosospumilus, and Nitrosotalea, while the genus Nitrosomonas accounted for the greatest proportion of AOB in the three soil layers. MOB were mainly composed of Methylocaldum and Methylocystis genera. Overall, this finding pointed to niche differences as well as suitability of the surface and subsurface soil environments for the co-occurrence of ammonia oxidation and methane oxidation in FPFs.
