Insights into the unexplored diversity of the nitrous oxide reducing microbial community
2012
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major radiative forcing and stratospheric ozone depleting gas emitted from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It can be transformed to N2 by bacteria and archaea harboring the nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), which is the only known N2O sink in the biosphere. Despite its crucial role in mitigating N2O emissions, knowledge of the N2OR in the environment remains limited. Here, we report a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the nosZ gene coding the N2OR in genomes retrieved from public databases. The resulting phylogeny revealed two distinct clades of nosZ, with one unaccounted for in studies investigating N2O reducing communities. Examination of N2OR structural el…

Analysis of the cross‐regulation between immunity, growth and iron homeostasis in plants
2019
The existence of a tightly regulated balance between growth and immunity in plants has recently emerged. In this study, we challenged this concept thanks to the biological model pyoverdine-Arabidopsis thaliana. Pyoverdine is a siderophore produced by the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12. Under iron deficiency, P. fluorescens excretes the iron free form of pyoverdine (apo‐pyo) in the soil. Once chelated with iron (ferri‐pyo), the complex is internalized by the bacteria. We demonstrated that Arabidopsis thaliana plants treated by apo‐pyo in a medium containing or not iron internalize pyoverdine. Interestingly, apo‐pyo-treated plants did not show a typical gro…
Analysis of the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the cross‐regulation between immunity, growth and iron homeostasis in plants
2019
Studies performed in our Agroecology Department show that the immune response of plants is linked to their iron nutrition and is modulated by pyoverdine, a siderophore produced by the plant beneficial rhizobacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12. Accordingly, Arabidopsis thaliana plantlets exposed to iron deficiency and treated with pyoverdine in its iron non‐chelated structure (apo‐pyo) show an enhanced growth but a decreased immune response capacity. We hypothesize that nitric oxide (NO), a universal signaling molecule, is a key component of the regulation of the immune response in plants exposed to apo‐pyo and to the C7R12 strain. We checked by fluorescence microscopy that NO is actually …

Soil is hosting a tremendous microbial diversity playing a key-role in a number of soil ecosystemic services including nutrient cycling and filtering. ln the European Soil Framework Directive pesticides are clearly marked as one of the major threats for soil biodiversity and functioning. ln orcier to guarantee minimum effects of pesticide application on soil microbes, pesticicleregistration at EU level (Regulation 2006/388) consiclers the toxicity of pesticides ontci non targefsoil microbes by relying on carbon- and nitrcigen-mineralization tests (OECO 216, 217). However tnese tests do not provicle a comprehensive assessment of pesticides onto soil microbes.-ECOFUN-MICROBIODIV was a project…
