摘要
The continuous accumulation of microplastics in agricultural soils may affect the natural attenuation of oxygen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(OPAHs). The effects of low-density polyethylene(LDPE)microplastics with the spiking proportion of 1% and 0.01% in soils on the natural attenuation of OPAHs were investigated via soil microcosm experiments. The relation between the response of bacterial communities and OPAHs dissipation was also explored. The initial content of OPAHs in the soil was 34.6 mg·kg−1. The dissipation of OPAHs in the soil on day 14 was inhibited by LDPE. The contents of OPAHs in LDPE groups were higher than that in the control by 0.9-1.6 mg·kg−1,and the inhibition degree increased with the proportion of LDPE. The contents of OPAHs were not significantly different among groups on day 28,indicating that the inhibitory effect of LDPE disappeared. LDPE did not change the composition of the dominant taxa in the OPAHs-contaminated soil community but influenced the relative abundances of some dominant taxa. LDPE increased the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria at the phylum level and decreased that of Bacillus and increased those of Micromonospora,Sphingomonas,and Nitrospira(potential degrading bacteria of LDPE and endogenous substances)at the genus level,all four of which were the main genera dominating intergroup community differences. LDPE changed the α and β diversity of bacterial communities,but the extents were not significant. LDPE affected the function of the bacterial community,reducing the total abundance of PAHs-degrading genes and some degrading enzymes,inhibiting the growth of PAHs-degrading bacteria and thus interfering with the natural decay of OPAHs. © 2024 Science Press.
