ABSTRACT
Microorganisms in the rhizosphere of wetland plants can have a significant impact on phosphorus (P) interception. We investigated the seasonal pattern of microbial community structure and its relationship with different P forms in the rhizosphere of three plants Scirpus planiculmis, Zizania latifolia, and Phragmites australis from the Yeyahu Wetland, China. Chloroform fumigation-extraction was used to determine the soil microbial biomass P (SMBP) and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) were used to characterize microbial community composition. P fractions in rhizosphere soil samples were also observed using sequential chemical fractionation. Results showed that the average total PLFA (TPLFA) contents of rhizosphere soils ranged from 34.9 to 40.7nmol·g-1 and were highest in summer. Bacteria were predominant in the rhizospheres of all three plants, accounting for >63% of TPLFA. Aerobic bacteria, represented by 160 PLFA, were most abundant. Both organic P (OP) and inorganic P (IP) accumulated in the rhizosphere during the winter die-back phase. Furthermore, both TPLFA and bacterial PLFA decreased with increases in highly resistant OP (HR-OP), occluded P (Oc-P) and Calcium-bound P (Ca-P). This suggests that bacteria play an important role in P transformation and can make use of various P forms. We also found that SMBP was significantly negatively correlated with labile OP (L-OP), moderately labile OP (ML-OP) and HR-OP, reflecting a high degree of cross correlation between SMBP and the PLFA indices.
