“…MiSeq sequence libraries were built by tag detection with a personal batch. They were analysed with a custom automated pipeline named EGRETTA (Pierart et al, 2018), using public tools and personal scripts. Sequence quality was analysed (pairing, primer trimming, chimera removal) with an optimized protocol based on MOTHUR software packages (Schloss et al, 2009).…”

In bromeliads, nothing is known about the associations fungi form with seeds and seedling roots. We investigated whether fungal associations occur in the seeds and seedling roots of two epiphytic Aechmea species, and we explored whether substrate and fungal associations contribute to seed germination, and seedling survival and performance after the first month of growth. We found a total of 21 genera and 77 species of endophytic fungi in the seeds and seedlings for both Aechmea species by Illumina Miseq sequencing. The fungal associations in seeds were found in the majority of corresponding seedlings, suggesting that fungi are transmitted vertically. Substrate quality modulated the germination and growth of seedlings, and beneficial endophytic fungi were not particularly crucial for germination but contributed positively to survival and growth. Overall, this study provides the first evidence of an endophytic fungal community in both the seeds and seedlings of two epiphytic bromeliads species that subsequently benefit plant growth.

“…Therefore, it is also environmentally friendly (Lim et al 2015). Much research has been conducted on the role of vermicompost in plant nutrition and yield increase, plant disease resistance, and heavy metal toxicity mitigation (Li et al 2012;Pierart et al 2019). However, few studies have been performed to investigate the effects of vermicompost on the transformation of the nutrient elements and the related mechanisms.…”

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of a vermicompost (VC) application on the phosphorus (P) transformation and microbial activity in a paddy soil. Changes in the following P forms were investigated: resin-P, concentrated HCl extracted inorganic (C.HCl-Pi) and organic P (C.HCl-Po), diluted HCl extracted inorganic P (D.HCl-Pi), NaHCO3 extracted inorganic (NaHCO3-Pi) and organic P (NaHCO3-Po), NaOH extracted inorganic (NaOH-Pi) and organic P (NaOH-Po), and residual P. The results showed that the vermicompost application significantly (P < 0.05) affected the pH, redox potential (Eh), water soluble Fe(II), HCl-extractable Fe(II), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass P (MBP), MBC/MBP ratio, and acid phosphatase activity (APA) of the paddy soil. In particular, the HCl-extractable Fe(II) increased by 25–56% with the vermicompost application when compared to the control (CK). With the exception of C.HCl-Pi, the vermicompost application greatly increased the contents of the various P forms in the soil. In particular, the labile P (resin-P, NaHCO3-Pi, and NaHCO3-Po) and moderately stable P (NaOH-Pi and NaOH-Po) were significantly (P < 0.01) increased. The correlation analyses showed that NaHCO3-Pi was significantly and positively related to the MBC, MBP, and APA, while NaHCO3-Po was significantly and negatively related to the MBC, MBP, and APA. Both NaOH-Pi and C.HCl-Pi were significantly and negatively related to the APA. Both NaOH-Po and C.HCl-Po were significantly and positively related to the MBP, while NaOH-Pi was significantly and negatively related to the MBP. These results indicated that a vermicompost application could effectively enhance the dissolution and reduction of Fe and the consequent mobilisation of NaOH-Pi. In addition, the vermicompost application significantly (P < 0.01) increased the APA and effectively mobilised the NaOH-Po.
