Environmental microbiomes encompass massive biodiversity and genetic information with a wide-ranging potential for industrial and agricultural applications. Knowledge of the relationship between microbiomes and environmental factors is crucial for translating that information into practical uses. In this study, the integrated data of Southeast Asian soil bacteriomes were used as models to assess the variation in taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterial communities. Our results demonstrated that there were differences in soil bacteriomes across different geographic locality with different soil characteristics: soil class and pH level. Such differences were observed in taxonomic diversity, interspecific association patterns, and functional diversity of soil bacteriomes. The bacterial-mediated biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen, sulfur, carbon, and phosphorus illustrated the functional relationship of soil bacteriome and soil characteristics, as well as an influence from bacterial interspecific interaction. The insights from this study reveal the importance of microbiome data integration for future microbiome research.
环境微生物组包含着巨大的生物多样性和遗传信息,具有广泛的工业和农业应用潜力。了解微生物组与环境因素之间的关系对于将这些信息转化为实际用途至关重要。在这项研究中,整合了东南亚土壤细菌组的数据,作为评估细菌群落分类和功能多样性变化的模型。我们的研究结果表明,不同地理位置的土壤具有不同的土壤特性,如土壤类型和 pH 值,这导致了土壤细菌组在分类多样性、种间关联模式和功能多样性方面存在差异。氮、硫、碳和磷的细菌介导的生物地球化学循环说明了土壤细菌组与土壤特性的功能关系,以及种间相互作用的影响。这项研究的结果揭示了微生物组数据整合对于未来微生物组研究的重要性。
