摘要

Background and aims

Phenolic acids (PAs) are allelochemicals of rice under stress of heavy metals, gaining attention due to protecting function on organic carbon (OC). Illustrating the regulation role of PAs on biodegradation of OC in paddy soil is essential to mitigate C loss.

Methods

This study selected Kaiyuan laterite (KL) and Zhalong chernozem (ZC) paddy soils, and the responses of PAs contents in rice and soil DOM to stress of cadmium (Cd), the effects of rice-derived PAs to anaerobic degradation of labile OC (13C-glucose) and rhizopheric microbial community were determined.

Results

Cd (10 μg g−1) significantly (p < 0.05) increased total PAs contents in rice plant (KL: 75.3%; ZC: 21.8%) and soil DOM (KL: 81.7%; ZC: 122.9%). Addition of major PAs (p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and vanillic acid) with 100 μg g−1 significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited anaerobic degradation of glucose in KL with decreased CO2 production (20.3%-46.1%) and ratio of (glucaric acid + formic acid)/arabinose, while show insignificant effect in ZC soil. Vanillic acid and ferulic acid reduced anaerobic strains including denitrifying bacteria (RBG-13–54-9, Bryobacter), iron-reducing bacteria (Subgroup_7, Subgroup_18), and sulfate-reduing bacteria (NB1-j, BSV13) in both soils, while recruited acidophilic bacteria with stronger effect in ZC. The effect of PAs on OC degradation and microbial community were closely correlated to with the redox potential and pH of PAs and soils.

Conclusion

The study reveal that Cd enhanced PAs secretion changed rhizospheric bacterial community involved in OC degradation, retarded OC oxidation with antioxidativity and acidity, and inhibit anaerobic degradation of OC in paddy soil.
