ABSTRACT
Microbial community assemblage includes microorganisms from the three domains including Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya (Fungi), which play a crucial role in geochemical cycles of metal(loid)s in mine tailings. Mine tailings harbor vast proportions of metal(loid)s, representing a unique source of co-contamination of metal(loid)s that threaten the environment. The elucidation of the assembly patterns of microbial communities in mining-impacted ecospheres has received little attention. To decipher the microbial community assembly processes, the microbial communities from the five sites of the Dabaoshan mine-impacted area were profiled by the MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA (Bacteria and Archaea) genes and internal transcribed spacers (Fungi). Results indicated that the coexistence of 31 bacterial, 10 fungal, and 3 archaeal phyla, were mainly dominated by Mucilaginibacter, Cladophialophora, and Candidatus Nitrosotalea, respectively. The distribution of microorganisms was controlled by deterministic processes. The combination of Cu, Pb, and Sb was the main factor explaining the structure of microbial communities. Functional predicting analysis of bacteria and archaea based on the phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states analyses revealed that the metabolic pathways related to arsenite transporter, arsenate reductase, and FeS cluster were important for metal detoxification. Furthermore, the ecological guilds (pathogens, symbiotrophs, and saprotrophs) of fungal communities explained 44.5 % of functional prediction. In addition, metal-induced oxidative stress may be alleviated by antioxidant enzymes of fungi communities, such as catalase. Such information provides new insights into the microbial assembly rules in co-contaminated sites.
