“…Distaso et al (2020) and Korzhenkov et al (2019) also recently reported higher representation of archaea Thermoplasmatales across all depths in oxic and low-pH sediment layers underlying an acidic stream in Parys Mountain (Mynydd Parys) AMD habitat in the UK, indicating contribution of these organisms to carbon, and probably to iron and sulfur cycles in this ecosystem. Gupta et al (2021) also reported the dominant archaeal communities in AMD sediment of Malanjkhand Copper Project, India as Thermoplasmata, Nitrososphaeria, Bathyarchaeia, Hydrothermarchaeota, Methanomassiliicoccales, Methanobacteriaceae, Methanocellaceae, Haloferaceae, Methanosaetaceae, and Methanoregulaceae. In this study, members of the Thermoplasmata present in Malanjkhand AMD were reported to be mostly involved in chemoheterotrophy, Fe/S redox cycling, and with HM resistance, while the Nitrososphaeria members participate in ammonia oxidation and fixation at low pH and oligotrophic environment and subsequently play an important role in nitrification process in AMD sediment.…”

Environmental degradation related to mining-generated acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major global concern, contaminating surface and groundwater sources, including agricultural land. In the last two decades, many developing countries are expanding agricultural productivity in mine-impacted soils to meet food demand for their rapidly growing population. Further, the practice of AMD water (treated or untreated) irrigated agriculture is on the increase, particularly in water-stressed nations around the world. For sustainable agricultural production systems, optimal microbial diversity, and functioning is critical for soil health and plant productivity. Thus, this review presents up-to-date knowledge on the microbial structure and functional dynamics of AMD habitats and AMD-impacted agricultural soils. The long-term effects of AMD water such as soil acidification, heavy metals (HM), iron and sulfate pollution, greatly reduces microbial biomass, richness, and diversity, impairing soil health plant growth and productivity, and impacts food safety negatively. Despite these drawbacks, AMD-impacted habitats are unique ecological niches for novel acidophilic, HM, and sulfate-adapted microbial phylotypes that might be beneficial to optimal plant growth and productivity and bioremediation of polluted agricultural soils. This review has also highlighted the impact active and passive treatment technologies on AMD microbial diversity, further extending the discussion on the interrelated microbial diversity, and beneficial functions such as metal bioremediation, acidity neutralization, symbiotic rhizomicrobiome assembly, and plant growth promotion, sulfates/iron reduction, and biogeochemical N and C recycling under AMD-impacted environment. The significance of sulfur-reducing bacteria (SRB), iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB), and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) as key players in many passive and active systems dedicated to bioremediation and microbe-assisted phytoremediation is also elucidated and discussed. Finally, new perspectives on the need for future studies, integrating meta-omics and process engineering on AMD-impacted microbiomes, key to designing and optimizing of robust active and passive bioremediation of AMD-water before application to agricultural production is proposed.

“…Among the highly abundant Crenarchaeota , the three families Nitrososphaeracea, Nitrosopumilaceae and Nitrosotalaceae of the class Nitrososphaeria (Nitrososphaera) are the most abundant in the investigated soil samples. Nitrososphaeria are known, in general, for their role in nitrogen cycling and are found in heavy metal ion-polluted soils—for example, in mining areas and in acid mine drainage [ 24 , 25 ]. Such mine drainages are typically marked by low pH values, enhanced heavy metal ion concentration—whereby the low pH supports the mobilization and bioavailability of these metal ions—and enhanced salt content.…”

Beside natural factors, human activities are important for the development of microbiomes. Thus, local soil bacterial communities are affected by recent activities such as agriculture, mining and industry. In addition, ancient human impacts dating back centuries or millennia have changed soils and can emboss the recent bacterial communities up to now, representing a certain long-term “memory of soil”. Soil samples from five different archaeological excavation places were investigated for the presence of Archaea with a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis of the DNA coding for 16S r-RNA sequences. It was found that the abundance of Archaea differs strongly between less than one and more than 40 percent of bacteria. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of all samples shows that the archaeological excavation places can be distinguished from each other by the archaeal component of soil bacterial communities, which presents a typical pattern for each place. Most samples are marked by the dominance of Crenarchaeota, which are presented mainly by ammonia-related types. High contents of Nanoarchaeaota have been observed in one ash deposit of a historical saline and all samples of a historical tannery area. These samples are also marked by a significant presence of Dadabacteria. The specific abundancies of special Archaea—among them ammonia-oxidizing and sulphur-related types—are due obviously to former human activities and support the concept of the “ecological memory of soil”.

“…The outgroup in the Pacific Ocean is the only sample with a noticeable amount of Archaea belonging to the class of Thermoplasmata (0.6% of the reads). These Archaea were investigated by Gupta et al, 2021, and were shown as acidophiles. The ASVs distributions between the samples The three different sampling domains shared 611 ASVs representing 5% of the total reads.…”

The exponential increase in plastic production has led to their accumulation in the environment, particularly in oceans, polluting these environments from the shore to the open ocean and even sea ice in the pole regions. We compared microbial communities on plastic particles, known as "Plastisphere", collected from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans gyres in the Summer of 2019 and subsequently looked for potential plastic degraders. We applied a 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing approach to decipher differences and similarities in colonization behaviour between these two gyres. Two polymer types include plastics: polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). We found that microbes differed significantly between the two oceans and identified thirty-two differentially abundant taxa at the class level. Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidota were the most prominent relative abundant phyla in the two oceans. Finally, according to the current literature, we found 40 genera documented as potential plastic degraders. This study highlights the importance of the biogeographical location with respect to microbial colonization patterns of marine plastic debris, differing even in the open oceans. Furthermore, the wide distribution of potential plastic-degrading bacteria was shown.
