Influence of soil contamination on the occurence and diversity of Mucoromycota and their endosymbiotic bacteria

Mucoromycota fungi are commonly found in different habitats around the world. Some are occurring on moldy bread or spoiled strawberries. The vast majority of them are organisms that decompose dead organic matter. Recently, it has been also shown that they may harbor endohyphal bacteria. However, their diversity and the factors influencing their prevalence remain poorly understood. The project aimed to investigate the impact of soil contamination on the prevalence and diversity of endohyphal bacteria within Mucoromycota.

We tested the soil from 50 sites all over Poland. The sites were selected in such a way that half of them represent highly polluted areas, e.g. post-mining heaps. Each soil sample was characterized in terms of contamination type. Based on next-generation sequencing methods, the species diversity of fungi was assessed. In 10 selected soil samples also bacterial diversity was studied. We have shown that contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is one of the factors that shape the diversity of soil fungal communities in post-industrial areas.

Moreover, representatives of Mucoromycora were isolated from 10 selected soil samples, and isolates were screened for the presence of endohyphal bacteria. Their presence was found in approx. 20% of all isolated strains of fungi (Fig. 1.). Among the identified endosymbionts, a new line of endohyphal bacteria was discovered. Additionally, two new species of fungi were discovered and described.

Finally, two strains fungal strains that tested positive for endohyphal bacteria were checked for their ability to grow on the selected contaminants. It has been shown that Umbelopsis and Rhizopus strains containing endohyphal bacteria are capable of degrading diesel fuel.

To conclude, it has been demonstrated that soil contamination influence soil fungal communties and their interactions with endohyphal bacterias. Moreover, some of the endohyphal bacteria seems to affect the ability of their fungal hosts to adapt to soil contamination.

Main results:

A new species of Sugiyamaella trypani by A. Gęsiorska & J. Pawłowska [MB # 829450] from trypan blue solution was described.
A new species of Entomortierella hereditatis J. Trovão, J. Pawłowska & A. Portugal [MB # 825064] was described.
A new line of endohyphal bacteria was discovered in Umbelopsidales.
Coevolution has been demonstrated between endohyphal bacteria belonging to BRE and their fungal hosts belonging to Mucoromycota.
It has been shown that the presence of endohyphal bacteria can influence the metabolic capacity of their fungal hosts.
It has been shown that soil contamination e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can shape the diversity of soil fungal communities.
It has been shown that selected strains of Umbelopsis and Rhizopus containing endohyphal bacteria can degrade diesel fuel and use anthracene, undecane, and cyclohexane as the sole carbon sources.

abstract = {Summary Fungi can be found in almost all ecosystems. Some of them can even survive in harsh, anthropogenically transformed environments, such as post-industrial soils. In order to verify how the soil fungal diversity may be changed by pollution, two soil samples from each of the 28 post-industrial sites were collected. Each soil sample was characterized in terms of concentration of heavy metals and petroleum derivatives. To identify soil fungal communities, fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) amplicon was sequenced for each sample using Illumina MiSeq platform. There were significant differences in the community structure and taxonomic diversity among the analysed samples. The highest taxon richness and evenness were observed in the non-polluted sites, and lower numbers of taxa were identified in multi-polluted soils. The presence of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, gasoline and mineral oil was determined as the factors driving the differences in the mycobiome. Furthermore, in the culture-based selection experiment, two main groups of fungi growing on polluted media were identified – generalists able to live in the presence of pollution, and specialists adapted to the usage of BTEX as a sole source of energy. Our selection experiment proved that it is long-term soil contamination that shapes the community, rather than temporary addition of pollutant.
