Environmental Metabarcoding Reveals Contrasting Belowground and Aboveground Fungal Communities from Poplar at a Hg Phytomanagement Site

Characterization of microbial communities in stressful conditions at a field level is rather scarce, especially when considering fungal communities from aboveground habitats. We aimed at characterizing fungal communities from different poplar habitats at a Hg-contaminated phytomanagement site by using Illumina-based sequencing, network analysis approach, and direct isolation of Hg-resistant fungal strains. The highest diversity estimated by the Shannon index was found for soil communities, which was negatively affected by soil Hg concentration. Among the significant correlations between soil operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the co-occurrence network, 80% were negatively correlated revealing dominance of a pattern of mutual exclusion. The fungal communities associated with Populus roots mostly consisted of OTUs from the symbiotic guild, such as members of the Thelephoraceae, thus explaining the lowest diversity found for root communities. Additionally, root communities showed the highest network connectivity index, while rarely detected OTUs from the Glomeromycetes may have a central role in the root network. Unexpectedly high richness and diversity were found for aboveground habitats, compared to the root habitat. The aboveground habitats were dominated by yeasts from the Lalaria, Davidiella, and Bensingtonia genera, not detected in belowground habitats. Leaf and stem habitats were characterized by few dominant OTUs such as those from the Dothideomycete class producing mutual exclusion with other OTUs. Aureobasidium pullulans, one of the dominating OTUs, was further isolated from the leaf habitat, in addition to Nakazawaea populi species, which were found to be Hg resistant. Altogether, these findings will provide an improved point of reference for microbial research on inoculation-based programs of tailings dumps.

“…These yeasts have been isolated from diverse habitats, with a predominant association with plant materials such as apples, grapes, and fermented grape musts. They have also been found in sugar cane leaves, decayed wood, and in association with wood‐feeding insects like beetles (Crous et al, 2019; Kurtzman, 2011; Kurtzman & Kurtzman, 2001; Kurtzman & Robnett, 2014; Polburee et al, 2017; Tiwari et al, 2022; Yamada et al, 1994). The diversity of Nakazawaea species reflects their ability to thrive in different environments and highlights their importance in various ecological contexts.…”

In this study, we describe Nakazawaea atacamensis f. a., sp. nov., a novel species obtained from Neltuma chilensis plant samples in Chile's hyperarid Atacama Desert. In total, three strains of N. atacamensis were obtained from independent N. chilensis samples (synonym Prosopis chilensis, Algarrobo). Two strains were obtained from bark samples, while the third strain was obtained from bark‐exuded gum from another tree. The novel species was defined using molecular characteristics and subsequently characterized with respect to morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties. A neighbor‐joining analysis using the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene revealed that N. atacamensis clustered with Nakazawaea pomicola. The sequence of N. atacamensis differed from closely related species by 1.3%–5.2% in the D1/D2 domains. A phylogenomic analysis based on single‐nucleotide polymorphism's data confirms that the novel species belongs to the genus Nakazawaea, where N. atacamensis clustered with N. peltata. Phenotypic comparisons demonstrated that N. atacamensis exhibited distinct carbon assimilation patterns compared to its related species. Genome sequencing of the strain ATA‐11A‐BT revealed a genome size of approximately 12.4 Mbp, similar to other Nakazawaea species, with 5116 protein‐coding genes annotated using InterProScan. In addition, N. atacamensis exhibited the capacity to ferment synthetic wine must, representing a potential new yeast for mono or co‐culture wine fermentations. This comprehensive study expands our understanding of the genus Nakazawaea and highlights the ecological and industrial potential of N. atacamensis in fermentation processes. The holotype of N. atacamensis sp. nov. is CBS 18375T. The Mycobank number is MB 849680.

Atacama is the most hyper-arid Desert in the world. In this study, we describe a novel species, Nakazawaea atacamensis f. a., sp. nov., isolated from plant samples in the Atacama Desert of Chile. In total, three isolates of N. atacamensis were obtained from independent Neltuma chilensis bark samples (synonym Prosopis chilensis, Algarrobo). The novel species was delineated based on morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. A neighbour-joining analysis using the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of LSU rRNA revealed that N. atacamensis sp. nov. clustered with Nakazawaea pomicola. The sequence of N. atacamensis differed from closely related species by 1.3% to 5.2% in the D1/D2 domains. A phylogenomic analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphism’s data confirms that the novel species belongs to the genus Nakazawaea, and placed N. atacamensis closer to N. peltata. Phenotypic comparisons demonstrated that N. atacamensis sp. nov. exhibited distinct carbon assimilation patterns compared to its related species. Genome sequencing of the ATA-11A-B strain revealed a genome size of approximately 12.4 Mbp, similar to other Nakazawaea species, with 5,116 protein-coding genes annotated using InterProScan. In addition, N. atacamensis exhibited the capacity to ferment synthetic wine must, representing a potential new yeast for mono or co-culture wine fermentations. This comprehensive study expands our understanding of the genus Nakazawaea and highlights the ecological and industrial potential of these yeasts in fermentation processes. The holotype of N. atacamensis sp. nov. is CBS 18375 . The Mycobank number is MB 849680.
