Temporal dynamics of soil bacterial communities at a landscape scale: dependence to soil properties and agricultural practices.
2019
International audience; Soil microbial communities play a major role in agricultural functions and are an efficient indicator to evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soils. Studies on wide scales ranging from landscape to countries demonstrated that soil microbial communities were heterogeneously distributed in space under the dependence of soil properties (e.g. pH, soil texture, Organic matter Content) and agricultural practices. However, temporal dynamics of soil microbial communities at a landscape scale still need to be documented in order to go further in evaluating the sustainability of agricultural practices. In this extensive monitoring study, we focused on landscape dy…

EA Pôle MERS. Rapport final de contrat de recherche INRA (communication orale invitée, 46 slides). Présenté le 24 septembre 2013 au BASF SE, Limburgerhof en Allemagne par Cécile Revellin seule. SYMGES – Projet partenarial (2013) – Coordination C. Hénault, UR SOLS Conduit avec l’unité d’Agroécologie de Dijon, en partenariat avec un industriel des biotechnologies agricoles, ce projet étudie la capacité des rhizobia (microorganismes vivant en symbiose avec les légumineuses et possédant la capacité de fixer l’azote) à réduire le N2O en N2 pour utiliser cette fonction microbienne afin de réduire les émissions du gaz à effet de serre par les sols agricoles.
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…
Studying and modelling soil microbial communities dynamics at a landscape scale in response to agricultural practices
2019
Soil microbial communities play a major role in soil fertility and are important as bioindicators to evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soils. The challenge is to promote their use in order to support / accelerate innovation by proposing to farmers the tools necessary to assess the impacts of practice modifications on the soil microbial composition before implementing and validating them. The goal of this thesis is to characterize spatial and temporal dynamics of soil microbial communities at the scale of an agricultural landscape in order to create models and propose a Decision Support Instrument (DSI) for stakeholders in the agricultural communities. This will use a multi-d…

Use of fonctional genes to quantify denitrifiers in the environment
2006
; During the last decade, application of molecular methods using cultivation-independent approaches has provided new insights into the composition and structure of denitrifying communities in various environments. However, little is known about their abundance, and quantification is still performed using cultivation-based approaches, which are not only biased by the inability to cultivate of many micro-organisms but also fastidious and time-consuming. Two types of cultivation-independent approaches have recently been developed to quantify denitrifiers. The first type, which is based on the hybridization technique, comprises the use of Southern hybridization and DNA arrays. The second type,…
