Exploring polyphosphates in soil: presence, extractability, and contribution to microbial biomass phosphorus

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Polyphosphates (Poly-P) are known to fulfil several important physiological functions. Many microorganisms can accumulate large amounts of Poly-P in their biomass. Regardless of these facts, systematic research on Poly-P in soil is missing, probably due to the absence of any method of direct Poly-P quantification. In this study, we attempted to unequivocally prove the presence of Poly-P in the biomass of soil microorganisms and quantify their extractability and contribution to microbial biomass phosphorus. To do so, we combined several approaches that can indicate Poly-P presence in soil microbial biomass indirectly, i.e. growth of soil inoculum on media without phosphorus, associated with measurement of changes in the microbial biomass stoichiometry, and the colour of the microbial suspension stained by the Neisser method. All soil microbial communities exhibited growth on media without phosphorus. As the growth on this media depleted Poly-P content, the biomass carbon to phosphorus and nitrogen to phosphorus ratio increased and the colour of the microbial suspension stained by the Neisser method changed predictively. The associated Poly-P addition experiment indicated that the recovery of added Poly-P from soil in form of soluble reactive phosphorus in sodium bicarbonate extract may reach up to 93% mainly due to abiotic depolymerization. Using a simple stoichiometric model applied to measured data, we calculated that the Poly-P content of microbial biomass in our soils may be up to 45 or 70% of total microbial biomass phosphorus depending on the assumptions applied regarding parameter values. We discuss the magnitude of error associated with the measurement of soil microbial phosphorus due to the high extractability of Poly-P.
