? Limitations of molecular-based methods: Lyses efficiency of cells or fungal structures varies between and within microbial groups; The method of DNA or RNA extraction used can also bias diversity studies; With environmental samples, it is necessary to remove inhibitory substances such as humic acids and clay.
? Taxonomic ambiguity of microbes: The traditional species definition was based on higher plants and animals and does not readily apply to prokaryotesor asexual organisms.
How to measure soil microbial diversity? 生物化学方法:
Culture-dependent methods
? Dilution plating and culturing methods
? Researchers assessed the gross diversity of culturable microorganisms by plotting the different colonies identified on the medium against the incubation time. Because a limited number of microorganisms can be cultured and the procedures are laborious, this method is less popular.
Indeed, it is available and useful especially at the beginning of study! ? Community-level physiological profiles(CLPP or SCU) Biolog method has as many disadvantages as advantages
1) First, the density of the initial inocculum;2) Functional diversity assumption is based on utilizing a particular substrate;3) Ecologically relevant.
Culture-independent methods
? This method provides information on the microbial community composition based on groupings of fatty acids, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis.
? Phospholipid fatty acids are potentially useful signature molecules due to their presence in all living cells.
? An essential consideration in the use of these molecules to describe microbial communities is that unique fatty acids are indicative of specific groups of organisms.
Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis
The presence and abundance of these signature fatty acids in soil reveals the
presence and abundance of particular organisms or groups of organisms. How to measure soil microbial diversity? 分子生物学方法
? A number of approaches have been developed to study molecular microbial diversity.
? DNA reassociation, DNA–DNA and mRNA/DNA hybridization, DNA cloning and sequencing;
? Other PCR-based methods such as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE), ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) and automated ribosomal intergenic space analysis (ARISA), Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP).
微生物多样性与功能
? 土壤微生物多样性的重要作用是维持土壤功能的正常,而 有机物的分解和养分循环是最重要的功能。
? The relationship between microbial diversity and function in soil is largely unknown, and soil seems to be characterized by a redundancy of functions; but biodiversity has been assumed to influence ecosystem stability, productivity and resilience towards stress and disturbance. Functional diversity is an aspect of the overall microbial diversity in soil, and encompasses a range of activities. 微生物群落功能多样性研究方法
实际上,功能多样性比分类多样性对土壤生 态系统研究更重要,是首要关注方面。 I. 群落代谢指纹II. 碳源利用反应(群落代谢) III.典型土壤过程IV. 酶功能多样性I. 群落代谢图谱
? BIOLOG is nowadays much in favor to measure microbial (especially for bacterial) functional diversity in soil because the utilization of available carbon is the key factor governing microbial growth in soil.
? 群落代谢图谱(CLPP), 也称作单一碳源利用模式(SCU) 最大的缺陷与传统培养法相似,即短时间的、非原位的(土壤提取液)和培养的(添加了底 物);
? 至今,有很多原理相似的改进方法出现,但由于操作 上的原因还没有被广泛应用,例如??
II. 碳源利用反应
? Campbell et al.(2003) developed a MicroRespTM approach.? This
approach allows for the rapid assessment of CLPP from whole soils using a colourmetric detection system (cresol red) and an automated plate reader.? Recently, a paper compared two approaches Biolog and MicroRespTM said the MicroRespTM was much better (Lalor et al. 2006). Campbell, C. et al. 2003. A rapid microtiter plate method to measure carbon dioxide evolved from carbon substrate amendments so as to determine the physiological profiles of soil microbial communities by using whole soil.

丰富多彩的土壤生物 土壤生物的重要价值
? Soil organisms are extremely diverse and contribute
to a wide range of ecosystem services that are essential to the sustainable function of natural and managed ecosystems (Barrios, 2007).? The vast array of soil organisms constitute the soil food web, had direct and indirect impacts on land productivity and soil process.
? The lack of information of soil organisms is surprising, considering the majority of the Earth’s species might live in soil (Wardle, 2002). 1.1 土壤生物-组成
? 土壤生物包括植物的地下部分 (Roots),藻类 (Algae)、微 生物 (Microflora) 和土壤动物 (Soil fauna/Soil animal);? Living Organisms in Soil:

? The approach to ecological niche by size of soil fauna is very informative.
1) Many ecological functions depend on size;
2) Body size(width) is related to their microhabitats.
? Generally, soil fauna is divided into three size categories: 1) <0.2mm, microfauna, 2) 0.2-10mm, mesofauna, 3) >10mm macrofauna (Note: it’s length). ? Or body width: 1) <0.1mm, microfauna, 2) 0.1-2.0mm, mesofauna, 3) >2mm macrofauna (Note: it’s diameter). 2.2 土壤动物功能
? Soil invertebrate fauna are key mediators of soil function? The
comminution and incorporation of litter into soil, the building and maintenance of structural porosity and aggregation in soils through burrowing, casting and nesting activities, the control of microbial communities and activities, plant protection against some pests and diseases, acceleration of plant successions are among the many effects they have on other organisms through their activities.? The hierarchical contributions of soil fauna activities to soil functions were reflected at large scales, such as water supply/soil erosion, nutrient cycling, primary production, soil formation and climate regulation. Lavelle et al. 2006 2.2 土壤动物功能
? Water supply/soil erosion mainly through? building and maintenance
of stable porosity through bioturbation and burrowing? production of stable biogenic aggregates through casting and organic matter transformation process? modification of soil structure and biophysical properties through plant/roots, microbes and other soil properties.

Relatively high densities have been recorded in extreme environments.? Main variables influencing abundance are the soil hydrological regimes and the content of organic matter on the soil surface.? Community structure:? Species: Very rich.
? Feeding habits or functional structure:
Diverse, i.e. bacterial feeders, fungal feeders, root feeders, predators and omnivores.
3.3 轮虫 (轮形动物门Phylum Rotifera)
3.3 轮虫? Taxonomy: Rotifera is divided into two classes, the Digononta (双巢纲) and the Monogononta (单巢纲). The Digononta class is divided in two orders: Bdelloidea (蛭态轮虫目) and Seisonidae (marine 摇轮虫目 ).? Morphology and Size: The name rotifer is from Latin meaning \bearer\The two wheels on rotifers are made of cilia that beat and create a current that draws water containing food into the gut of the rotifer. They are about the same size (range between 50μm and 2000 μm) as the larger unicellular organisms.
? Movement: They locomote by using the crown of cilia (纤毛) to propel themselves. Some species walk with head and foot. Their foot can secrete a sticky substance that enables them to attach to a surface. 3.3 轮虫生态功能
? 轮虫因其极快的繁殖速率,生产量很高,在生态系结构、功能和生物生产力 的研究中具有重要意义。
? Mineralization of N immobilized in bacterial biomass. May be responsible for up to 50% or more of plant N available in certain agricultural systems. Soil conditions must be appropriate for rotifers to be active, requiring moist-to- saturated soil.? Substrate for predators (nematodes, rotifers,
earthworms, enchytraeids)?Consumption of bacterial prey and control of bacterial community structure.
? 轮虫也是一类指示生物,在环境监测和生态毒理研究中被普遍采用。? While numbers and species of bacteria can be controlled by protozoa, little work has been done with rotifer-bacteria interactions in soil systems. Rotifers do play important roles in aquatic systems, but are un-studied in terrestrial systems. Most likely, they would play an important role in riparian soils.
