摘要

Root secretions interact with microbes during fertilizer application.

Inorganic fertilizers boost phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria abundance by raising pH.

Organic fertilizers directly affect soil’s available phosphorus.

Lactic acid post-fertilization alters pH, affecting phosphorus bacteria.

The management of phosphorus (P) is challenged by the disruption of the soil natural phosphorus cycle, primarily due to over-fertilization. However, less research has been done on how fertilization affects organic acids secreted by roots, which in turn affects bacteria harboring the pqqC and phoD genes. Employing high-throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR, we analyzed the impact of various fertilizer treatments on these bacterial communities. Our research reveals that both organic and inorganic fertilizers alter soil pH, a change that is closely linked to changes in oxalic, gluconic, and succinic acids in the soil. These secretions subsequently modify the composition of pqqC and phoD-harboring bacterial communities, thereby enhancing P solubilization. Our findings suggest that while inorganic fertilizers can increase P-solubilizing bacterial populations by elevating soil pH, organic fertilizers not only boost these bacterial communities but also maintain the P content in the soil, thereby directly supporting P utilization. After the application of organic fertilizers, the content of lactic acid and gluconic acid can not only indirectly affect the abundance of P solubilizing bacteria by increasing soil pH, but also directly increase the effective P content of the soil. Additionally, the introduction of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) alongside P fertilization appears to fine-tune this microbial-plant interaction, paving the way for more efficient P use in agriculture. Consequently, our research provides sustainable strategies for enhancing agricultural productivity amid P management challenges.
