AI Article Synopsis

  • * A study using 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that sediment under concrete catchments had higher fungal diversity and stability compared to those under loess land catchments, with Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota being the dominant groups.
  • * The research identified key indicator species that affect fungal diversity in different environments and revealed a stronger positive relationship between fungi and environmental factors, contributing to insights on rainwater harvesting safety and cellar water quality.

Article Abstract

There are rich and diverse fungal communities in rainfall-cellar sediments. Fungi play a key role in the rainfall-cellar ecosystem as a bridge and link for material exchange between the rainfall-cellar ecosystem and the sediments. The changes in fungal community structure are usually closely related to the changes in environmental factors. The 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to study the diversity and difference of fungal communities in the cellar sediments under two different catchment environments. The results revealed that the cellar sediments under the concrete catchment environment had higher diversity and richness of fungal communities than those under the loess land catchment environment. The dominant bacteria of the fungal communities under the two catchment environments were the same, namely Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota, which constituted more than 90% of the abundance of the bacteria; however, the former had better homogeneity and stability. The indicator species based on LEfSe analysis demonstrated that Basidiobolales had the largest contribution to the diversity in the catchment environment of the loess land, and had the smallest contribution; Saccharomycetales contributed the most to the diversity in the concrete concentration environment, whereas contributed the least. The results of the co-occurrence network of the microbial community and environmental factors demonstrated that the positive relationship between fungi and environmental factors was stronger than the negative relationship. The research results have enhanced the understanding of the diversity of fungal communities in the cellar sediments and provided a reference for ensuring the drinking safety of rainwater harvesting cellar water for humans and livestock and improving the quality of cellar water.
