ABSTRACT

Abstract Polygonum hydropiper is a phosphorus (P)-accumulating herb used for P-phytoextraction, with higher P-accumulating capability in the mining ecotype (ME) than the non-mining ecotype (NME). This difference might result from the variation in root-associated soil (rhizoplane, rhizosphere) bacterial characteristics. Thus, characteristics and influence factors of bacterial community were investigated in root-associated soils and bulk soils of both ecotypes of P. hydropiper in situ using high-throughput sequencing technique. Bacterial community diversity and richness were independent with ecotypes; rather it positively correlated with soil organic matter concentration. Forty-nine phyla were identified, with Proteobacteria being the most dominated phylum. Soil bacterial community compositions were primarily separated into clusters by ecotypes, simultaneously with great influence by soil groups and chemical properties. Rhizoplane and rhizosphere bacterial communities showed more similarity compared with those in bulk soil. Soil pH, available P, available nitrogen and available potassium played major roles in shaping the bacterial community compositions. The genera Halomonas, Flavisolibacter, Blastocatella, Thiobacillus, Sphingomonas and Bacillus in ME root-associated soils showed higher abundance than in NME root-associated soils, positively with soil available P concentration, suggesting these genera might be important in mobilizing soil mineral-P and facilitating P uptake for the ME of P. hydropiper.
