This study evaluated the synergism between several P-solubilizing fungi isolates and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve clover ( Trifolium pratense) growth in the presence of Araxá apatite. Clover was sown directly in plastic pots with 300g of sterilized washed sand, vermiculite and sepiolite 1:1:1 (v:v:v) as substrate, and grown in a controlled environment chamber. The substrate was fertilized with 3 g L(-1) of Araxá apatite. A completely randomized design, in 8×2 factorial scheme (eight P-solubilizing fungi treatments with or without arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi)and four replicates were used. The P-solubilizing fungi treatments consisted of five Brazilian P-solubilizing fungi isolates (PSF 7, 9, 20, 21 and 22), two Spanish isolates ( Aspergillus niger and the yeast Yarowia lipolytica) and control (non-inoculated treatment). The greatest clover growth rate was recorded when Aspergillus niger and PSF 21 were co-inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Aspergillus niger, PSF 7 and PSF 21 were the most effective isolates on increasing clover growth in the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Greater mycorrhizal colonization resulted in greater clover growth rate in most PSF treatments. PSF 7 was the best isolate to improve the establishment of mycorrhizal and rhizobia symbiosis.

Microbial bioremediation has emerged promisingly to improve crop tolerance to cadmium (Cd). Moreover, Cd tolerance and phosphate acquisition in plants positively correlated under P solubilizing bacteria inoculation, yet there is no evidence on specific mechanisms influencing Cd tolerance and plant P acquisition. The present study evaluates Cd tolerance in rock P-amended durum wheat in response to inoculation with P solubilizing bacteria (PSB) [three individual isolates Bacillus siamensis, Rahnella aceris, Bacillus cereus and their consortium (PSB)] and consequently reveals key rhizosphere mechanisms involved in both Cd tolerance and P use efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- - Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) like Advenella kashmirensis DF12 can convert soil-fixed phosphorus into forms accessible to plants, showcasing a high P solubilization efficiency of 590 mg/L in just 6 days.
- - DF12 is adaptable to various pH levels (5 to 10) and demonstrates nitrogen fixation, making it a strong candidate for use as a biofertilizer.
- - The study indicates that while organic acid production (like gluconic acid) is involved, the key mechanism for phosphorus solubilization is the release of protons during nitrogen assimilation, suggesting that combining ammonium fertilizers with P-deficient soil could enhance overall nutrient efficiency.

Sequestering farmland for secondary succession is an effective method of restoring ecosystem services to degraded farmland, but long-term secondary succession often alters ecosystem environments, resources, and substrate stoichiometry. Currently, it is not known how resource changes and stoichiometric imbalances due to secondary succession affect soil microbial community structure and function, hindering our understanding of the natural resilience for degraded ecosystems. Here, we assessed nutrient limitation elements, community structure, metabolic functions, co-occurrence network complexity, and community stability of soil microorganisms during secondary succession of abandoned farmlands on the Loess Plateau.

Article Synopsis
- Mining activities lead to polymetallic contamination in soils, posing a threat to soil fertility, biodiversity, and human health, prompting the need for effective bioremediation methods.
- This study explored the combined effects of specific plant growth (ryegrass) and a mixed bacterial consortium on enhancing bioremediation efficiency in polluted soils, revealing significant improvements in biomass, soil nutrients, and heavy metal reduction.
- The application of the mixed bacterial inoculum not only improved soil microbial diversity and stability but also positively impacted nutrient cycling and gene expression, contributing to self-sustainability in remediated soils.
