What do soil bacteria give us bacteria?
Supplying nutrients to plants
There are soluble and insoluble nutrients that are difficult or unavailable to plants. The latter must be mobilized and made soluble to enter the soil solution so that the root hairs of the plant can absorb them. Although it is not visible, plants go to great lengths to meet their nutrient needs. In order to convert insoluble nutrients into soluble ones, studies show that 25-35% of organic substances produced by plants are released through the root system into the soil, in the form of various organic acids. This loss is very sensitive for the farmer, as the organic matter produced by the roots cannot be collected. Bacteria struggle with similar problems. They also require soil nutrients and produce similar organic matter. With active soil life, organic acids produced by bacteria make soluble nutrients that are difficult to dissolve, which can also be absorbed by plants.Bacteria relieve the plants, as they need to release less organic matter, more remains in the plants, and therefore the yield increases.
So, if there is a sufficient number of bacteria in the rhizosphere, then their activity helps the plants and relieves them. Plants can direct this energy to the development and growth of productivity. Also, thanks to the production of siderophore, bacteria bind iron ions (Fe) and provide them to plants. Thanks to the localization of iron ions, the living space of mushrooms decreases.
Atmospheric Nitrogen Fixation
Atmospheric nitrogen is the main source of nitrogen for life on Earth. This nitrogen can naturally enter the biological cycle only through nitrogen associated with microorganisms (including artificial fertilizers). Thus, our cultivated higher plants cannot obtain nitrogen from N2, which is abundant in the atmosphere - 78% of the air is nitrogen - because very few living organisms can fix it.
Free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil, symbiotically associated with plants, also have a nitrogenase enzyme that breaks down the highly stable N2 molecule and converts it into ammonia, which the plant can absorb and use to meet its nitrogen needs. This process, biological nitrogen fixation, is key to life on earth. The main nitrogen-fixing microorganisms are cyanobacteria, rhizobial bacteria living in symbiosis, associative azospirilla, free-living Azotobacteria, Clostridium bacteria, etc.
Research on phosphorus from insoluble forms
Unlike nitrogen, phosphorus is not present in the atmosphere, its primary source is compounds found in rocks and soil minerals, as well as phosphorus associated with organic matter. The proportions of the two fractions, namely organic and inorganic phosphorus, are approximately 50-50% in the soil.
Phosphorus is also an important element in the metabolic processes of organisms. It is just as necessary for the processes of energy accumulation by cells as it is for building up phospholipids that form cell membranes. Phosphorus is of primary importance for plant productivity, and also affects the formation of the root system. Of the most important plant nutrients, phosphorus is the most difficult to absorb, but it is the most important nutrient that affects plant growth after nitrogen.
Mineralization of organically bound phosphorus found in organic substances (most of which are so-called phytates) is a relatively slow process that depends on the activity of microorganisms. Organically bound phosphorus is released mainly by bacteria and fungi, which can then be absorbed by plants (in the form of orthophosphates H2PO4, HPO42). Phosphorus, which enters plants, animals, and microorganisms, is released into the P cycle by their destruction and re-mineralization of their organic matter.
Organic acids released by bacteria and fungi living in the soil allow the dissolution of inorganic phosphate minerals. Thus, bacteria participate in the dissolution of inorganic phosphates and thus enable plants to absorb them.
Decomposition of post-harvest substances
Cellulose is the most abundant organic material on Earth, as most of the plant skeletal material is cellulose. Bacteria and fungi that contain an enzyme (cellulase) that can break down cellulose are extremely useful in breaking down cellulose and lignocellulose as dead organic matter. Grain straw is produced by hundreds of thousands of tons per year, which remains on the stubble. Decomposing the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content of straw and recirculating the ingredients are also important for maintaining soil fertility.
Cellulose, a water-insoluble, chemically stable, and relatively enzyme-resistant macromolecule, is broken down by cellulase enzymes found in bacteria and fungi. Almost all of these enzymes shorten long chains or cleave smaller units (cellobioses) at the ends of the chains. As a result, smaller molecules are formed that are easily absorbed, broken down and used by other microorganisms.
Bacteria and fungi that decompose the remains of stems, decomposing nutrients, form a significant amount of potassium and phosphorus, numerous meso- and microelements and convert them into acceptable forms for the plant.
The functions of soil microorganisms are much more extensive than some of the basic functions described above. We have singled out only a few important processes: without them, there would be no nitrogen in the soil, so no living organism could synthesize amino acids and proteins. There would be no fission, so there would be nothing to build on. Compounds occurring in minerals and rocks could not be investigated. Without them, everything would be different, but most likely: there would be nothing.
