RESUMO

The objective of this study was to evaluate the availability of phosphorus (P) in a soil under no-tillage system after successive applications of liquid swine manure (LSM) doses in soil samples collected at different depths and to select the most appropriate chemical extractors. It was used soil with LSM applications for 19 years, using doses of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 m3 ha-1 and mineral fertilization (350 kg ha-1 in formulation 02-20-18), evaluated at the following depths: 0-10, 10-20 and 20-40 cm. The extractors used were Mehlich-1, Mehlich-3, Prem, Olsen, Bray-1 and Resin. Successive fertilizations with LSM, especially with 100 m3 ha-1, increase the availability of P, especially in the 0-10 cm layer, as well adding P in the deeper layers evaluated (20-40 cm). The organic P content in relation to the total P ranged from 16 to 19 %. Bray-1, Olsen and Resin extractors are more efficient in extracting P in soil under no-tillage cultivation after successive fertilizations with liquid swine manure.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of sodium glycerophosphate (NaGP) in parenteral nutrition solutions on mineral metabolism in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. STUDY DESIGN: NaGP was introduced for use in place of potassium phosphate (K3PO4) in January 2018; this retrospective cohort study included 95 ELBW infants treated with K3PO4 between January 2015 and December 2017 and 77 infants treated with NaGP between August 2018 and January 2021. Mineral intake over the first 14 days; changes in serum calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels over the first 1-3 months; and the rates of electrolyte imbalance and clinical morbidity were compared. High-risk infants who had nil per os (NPO) status for >14 days and prolonged parenteral nutrition exposure were further analyzed as a subgroup. RESULTS: The use of NaGP instead of K3PO4 significantly increased Ca and P intake, but intakes remained below the recommended range (Ca, 64-140 mg/kg/day; P, 50-108 mg/kg/day). Compared with levels in the K3PO4 group, the NaGP group had significantly higher serum Ca and P levels after day 14 and lower ALP levels after day 56. In the subgroup analysis, the NaGP group had significantly lower incidences of hypophosphatemia, hyponatremia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and ALP >500 IU/L. CONCLUSIONS: Although the administration of NaGP instead of K3PO4 in parenteral nutrition regimens still did not provide adequate Ca and P intake for ELBW infants, higher intake significantly improved serum Ca and P levels, especially in ELBW infants with prolonged parenteral nutrition exposure.

RESUMO

Agave lechuguilla has one of the widest distributions among other agave species in the Chihuahuan Desert. Their capacity to grow in poorly developed soils and harsh conditions has been related to their association with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. In this work, we explored how soil properties and plant growth stage influence the composition of the rhizobacterial communities, their interactions, and the enzymatic activity and abundance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and organic phosphorus-mineralizing bacteria in two subregions of the Chihuahuan Desert. We found that mature plants of lechuguilla stimulated the activity and abundance of nutrient-improvement rhizobacteria, and these soil samples had a higher content of total organic carbon, ammonium (NH4) and nitrite + nitrate (NO2+NO3). Nutrient availability seems to be an essential driver of the bacterial community's structure since the genera with more connections (hubs) were those with known mechanisms related to the availability of nutrients, such as env. OPS17 (Bacteroidetes), Gemmatimonadaceae uncultured, S0134terrestrial group, BD211terrestrial group (Gemmatimonadetes), Chthoniobacteracea and Candidatus Udaeobacter (Verrucomicrobia). This work shows that the late growth stages of lechuguilla recruit beneficial bacteria that favor its establishment and tolerance to harsh conditions of the arid lands.

RESUMO

Soil phosphorus (P) availability in lowland tropical rainforests influences the distribution and growth of tropical tree species. Determining the P-acquisition strategies of tropical tree species could therefore yield insight into patterns of tree ß-diversity across edaphic gradients. In particular, the synthesis of root phosphatases is likely to be of significance given that organic P represents a large pool of potentially available P in tropical forest soils. It has also been suggested that a high root phosphatase activity in putative nitrogen (N) -fixing legumes might explain their high abundance in lowland neotropical forests under low P supply. Here, we measured phosphomonoesterase (PME) activity on the first three root orders of co-occurring tropical tree species differing in their N-fixation capacity, growing on soils of contrasting P availability in Panama. Our results show that root PME activity was higher on average in P-poor than in P-rich soils, but that local variation in PME activity among co-occurring species within a site was larger than that explained by differences in soil P across sites. Legumes expressed higher PME activity than nonlegumes, but nodulated legumes (i.e., actively fixing nitrogen) did not differ from legumes without nodules, indicating that PME activity is unrelated to N fixation. Finally, PME activity declined with increasing root order, but the magnitude of the decline varied markedly among species, highlighting the importance of classifying fine roots into functional groups prior to measuring root traits. Our results support the hypothesis that low-P promotes a high root PME activity, although the high local variation in this trait among co-occurring species points toward a high functional diversity in P-acquisition strategies within an individual community.

RESUMO

Understanding the role of N-fixing leguminous trees for phosphorus (P) cycling in highly weathered tropical soils is relevant for the conservation of natural forests as well as the sustainable management of agroforests and forest plantations with low P input in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region. We hypothesized that N-fixing leguminous trees can increase the availability of soil P by exploiting different P sources without causing a depletion of soil organic P due to efficient biogeochemical cycling, but empirical evidence remains scarce. For this purpose, 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P NMR) was used for quantifying soil P forms and the Hedley sequential extraction to determine soil P fractions. The studied sites were forestry systems with leguminous trees: mixed forest plantations with different proportions of fast-growing N-fixing leguminous trees; pure plantations, and agroforestry systems with leguminous trees. The results show that all N-fixing leguminous trees and N mineral fertilization positively affected the concentrations of available soil P in relation to the control treatments. There were increases of all P fractions through cycling in all forest sites. 31P NMR spectra clearly identified and quantified that a large amount of phosphomonoesters followed by phosphodiesters in the form of DNA, as well as high reserves of Pi species (ortho-P and pyrophosphate) in the first eleven years of growth at pure plantations, mixed plantations or agroforests. The relations between both ortho-P and DNA with the resin-Pi, NaHCO3-Pi and NaOH-Pi fractions suggest that both analysis methods provide complementary information about the soil P transformations. Thus, the paper highlights the importance of the use of different N-fixing leguminous tree species under different environmental conditions, production systems and management practices for recovering heavily degraded areas, which may be a suitable strategy through efficient management of P in highly weathered tropical soils in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Hyperphosphatemia is a major contributor to poor outcomes among cases of chronic kidney disease. Considering that foods with high protein content are major sources of phosphorus, a more suitable dietary phosphorus measure is the phosphorus to protein ratio. However, Mexican phosphorus to protein ratio tables do not exist. This article aims to estimate the phosphorus to protein ratio in foods commonly used by the Mexican population and to establish its usefulness in the selection of foods for patients with chronic kidney disease. METHODS: Six tables with the phosphorus to protein ratio were developed from different data sources concerning Mexican animal food composition. RESULTS: Egg whites have the best phosphorus to protein ratio. Partially skimmed milk has the lowest ratio among dairy products. Dairy products have high phosphorus to protein ratio variability. Red meat products have a ratio with an average of 9 mg/g. The phosphorus to protein ratio varies considerably for seafood (1.2-38.3 mg/g). CONCLUSIONS: The phosphorus to protein ratio could be a good strategy to choose each food during chronic kidney disease dietary treatment for the Mexican population.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do butafosfan isolado ou associado à cianocobalamina sobre marcadores do metabolismo energético, mineral e inflamatório, produção de leite e índice de funcionalidade hepática (IFH) de vacas leiteiras primíparas. Vinte e três vacas da raça Holandês foram aleatoriamente distribuídas em três grupos experimentais: Grupo Combinação (COM, n = 8), que recebeu 100 mL da combinação de butafosfan+cianocobalamina;Grupo Butafosfan (BUT, n = 8), que recebeu 100 mL de solução aquosa de Butafosfan; e Grupo Controle (CTL, n = 7), que recebeu 100 mL de solução fisiológica 0,9%. Todos os animais recebram 5 doses subcutâneas de 20 mL a cada 24 horas, iniciando logo após o parto. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos dias 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 28 para análises de cálcio, fósforo, ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNEs) e ß-hidroxibutirato (BHBA). Albumina, bilirrubina, colesterol total, haptoglobina e paraoxonase foram analisadas nos dias 0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 e 28. Foi avaliado o escore de condição corporal e a produção leiteira até 60 dias pós-parto. Níveis reduzidos de BHBA (P<0,05) foram encontrados no grupo BUT. Animais com alto IFH apresentaram menores níveis de BHBA (P<0,05) e tendência de redução nos níveis de AGNEs (P<0,10), porém o IFH não foi influenciado pelos tratamentos. Apesar de o butafosfan reduzir os níveis de BHBA, o índice de funcionalidade hepática de vacas primímaras não foi influenciado pelos tratamentos.

The objective of study was to evaluate the effects of butafosfan and cyanocobalamin on markers of energetic, mineral and inflammatory metabolism, milk production and the liver functionality index (LFI) of primiparous dairy cows. Twenty-three Holstein cows were allocated into: Combination group (COM, n = 8), receiving 100 mL of Catosal®; Butafosfan group (BUT, n = 8) that received 100 mL of aqueous Butafosfan; and Control (CTL, n = 7), receiving 100 mL of 0.9% saline. All the animals received 100 mL (5 doses of 20mL every 24h), subcutaneously, beginning soon after calving. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 28 for analysis of calcium, phosphorus, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and ß-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). The analysis of albumin, bilirubin, cholesterol, haptoglobin and paraoxonase were performed on days 0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 28. We evaluated body condition score (BCS) and milk production (kg /day) until day 60 after calving. The LFI was determined considering the plasma levels of total cholesterol, albumin and bilirubin on days 3 and 28 after calving. The BUT group showed lower BHB levels (P<0.05) than CTL group. The animals from group with high LFI had lower concentrations of BHB (P<0.05) and a trend of lower concentrations of NEFA (P<0.10), whereas the animals with poor liver function (low) showed tendency to have lower level of albumin (P <0.10). Howerver, the LFI was not affected by treatments (P> 0.05). In conclusion, despite the butafosfan and cyanocobalamin modulate energy metabolism in this study the hepatic functionality index was not affected by treatments.

RESUMO

This work seeks to discuss the presence of phosphorus in raw sewage considering the formulation of the powder detergent for cleaning fabrics currently sold in Brazil. Based on the results of laboratory analyses performed in the sewage inflows to three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in São Paulo state, it evaluates the different fractions of this element and sizes the impact caused by the product. The average concentration of total phosphorus (total-P) in sewage inflows has shown a reduction trend over the years, and it is currently between 5.3 and 7.6 mg/L. The participation of organic phosphorus (org-P) tends to be higher than that of the inorganic phosphorus (inorg-P) with average around 64% of total-P. This situation indicates a change from the default and it may be influenced by the reduced contribution of phosphorus in the powder detergents. It was concluded that the formulation of the Brazilian products, which have a very low phosphate content, less than 0.01% by weight, may have altered the phosphorus dynamics in sewage. In other respects, results have shown the need to enhance actions aimed at controlling the sources of phosphorus in sewage, with a view to assure preventive measures to water pollution processes.

RESUMO

A hipótese deste estudo é de que o uso da combinação de butafosfan e cianocobalamina pode melhorar a resistência periférica à insulina, aumentar a quantidade de glicose disponível para a glândula mamária e a produção de leite. Assim, o objetivo foi investigar os efeitos combinados de butafosfan e cianocobalamina sobre o metabolismo da glicose em vacas leiteiras no período pós-parto. Vinte e uma vacas leiteiras foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo controle (CON, n= 11), que recebeu cinco aplicações de solução salina (20mL / animal 0,9% NaCl), e grupo Catosal(r) (ABC, n= 10), que recebeu cinco aplicações de 20mL de uma solução contendo as substâncias butafosfan e cianocobalamina (B12 Catosal(r), 100mg da substância butafosfan e 50µg de cianocobalamina por mL). As aplicações foram realizadas por via intramuscular, nos dias sete, 12, 17, 22 e 27 pós-parto. As amostras de sangue foram coletadas para a avaliação das concentrações plasmáticas de fósforo, glicose, ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNE), albumina, aspartato aminotransferase (AST) e creatina quinase (CK). Nos dias oito e 28 pós-parto, os animais foram pesados e submetidos aos testes de tolerância à glicose e à insulina. O tratamento promoveu perda de peso (ABC 40,4kg, CON 10,73kg, P<0,05) e aumento da AST (ABC 62,92 ±3,31U/L, CON 53,11±3,49 U / L, P<0,05) e dos níveis de CK (ABC 134,09± 19,08U / L, CON 79,43 ± 18,27U / L). Os grupos não diferiram quanto ao metabolismo (área sob a curva) da glicose nos dias oito e 28, porém os animais tratados tiveram um aumento na glicemia (P<0,05) no dia 28 pós-parto (97,54 ± 8,54mg / dL), após a administração de insulina, em comparação ao dia oito (83,01 ± 8,54mg / dL). Assim, pode-se concluir que a combinação de butafosfan e cianocobalamina melhora a adaptação do metabolismo da glicose em vacas leiteiras no início da lactação.(AU)

The hypothesis of this study is that the combined use of butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin could enhance peripheral insulin resistance, increasing the amount of glucose available for the mammary gland and milk production. Thus, our aim was to investigate the combined effects of butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin on the glucose metabolism in dairy cows during the postpartum period. Twenty one dairy cows were divided into two groups: Control Group (CON, n= 11), that received 5 injections of saline solution (20mL/animal 0.9 % NaCl), and Catosal group (ABC, n= 10) which received 5 injections of 20mL of a Butafosfan and Cyanocobalamin solution (Catosal(r) B12, 100mg of Butafosfan and 50µg Cyanocobalamin for mL). The injections were performed by intramuscular route, on days 7, 12, 17, 22 and 27 postpartum. Blood samples were taken on these days to evaluate plasma concentrations of phosphorus, glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatine kinase (CK). On days 8 and 28 postpartum, the animals were weighted and subjected to the glucose tolerance and insulin challenge tests. The treatment promoted weight loss (ABC 40.4kg, CON 10.73kg, P< 0.05) and increased AST (ABC 62.92 ±3.31U/L, CON 53.11 ±3.49U/L, P< 0.05) and CK levels (ABC 134.09 ±19.08U/L, CON 79.43 ±18.27U/L). Glucose metabolism (area under the curve) did not differ (P> 0.05) among groups on days 8 and 28; however, ABC animals showed higher serum glucose levels (P< 0.05) after insulin administration on day 28 postpartum (97.54 ±8.54mg/dL) when compared to day 8 (83.01 ±8.54mg/dL). It could be concluded that the combined use of butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin interferes positively with the adaptation of glucose metabolism in dairy cows in early lactation.(AU)

RESUMO

In no-tillage (NT) soils, changes in the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) have been observed over time. These changes can interfere with the dynamics of P in surface soil layers. Thus, the objectives of this study were: to evaluate the organic and inorganic fractions of P and their degree of lability (labile, moderately labile, and moderately recalcitrant) in an Oxisol under NT for 6 years (NT6), 14 years (NT14), and 22 years (NT22) and cultivated with a succession of soybean and corn/wheat. The fractions were evaluated for 16 years of NT, with the last four years under integrated corn second crop and Brachiaria (NT16+B). We also analyzed an area of native forest, as well as analyzing the correlations between the results of the P fractions of these areas with other attributes such as total carbon content, vegetable waste deposited on the ground, phosphorus and humic fractions remaining in SOM. From each of the areas, samples were collected at 0.00-0.05 m and 0.05-0.10 m. A completely randomized design with 5 replicates was used. Management of phosphorus fertilization and SOM following adoption of the NT of time (6 to 22 years) increased the levels of all fractions of inorganic P (0.0 to 0.10 m), as well as the fractions of labile (0.05-0.10 m), moderately labile (0.0-0.10 m), and moderately recalcitrant (0.05-0.10 m) organic phosphorus. The correlation matrix shows interactions between the evaluated soil attributes, especially between inorganic phosphorus fractions and fulvic and humic acids and between the moderately recalcitrant organic phosphorus and humin fraction.(AU)

Em cada uma das áreas foram coletadas amostras nas camadas de 0,00-0,05 m e 0,05-0,10 m. O delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com 5 repetições. O manejo da adubação fosfatada e da MOS em função do tempo de adoção do SPD (6 para 22 anos) aumentou os teores de todas as frações de P inorgânico (0,0-0,10 m), bem como, as frações de fósforo orgânico lábil (0,05-0,10 m), moderadamente lábil (0,0-0,10 m) e moderadamente resistente (0,05-0,10 m). Através da matriz de correlação podem-se verificar interações entre os atributos do solo avaliados, principalmente entre as frações de fósforo inorgânico e os ácidos fúlvicos e húmicos, e entre o fósforo orgânico moderadamente resistente e a fração humina.(AU)

Através da matriz de correlação podem-se verificar interações entre os atributos do solo avaliados, principalmente entre as frações de fósforo inorgânico e os ácidos fúlvicos e húmicos, e entre o fósforo orgânico moderadamente resistente e a fração humina.

RESUMO

The increase in the amount and quantity of soil organic matter (SOM), as well as the use of phosphorus-based fertilizers in the superficial soil layer in areas under tillage regimes (TR), may affect phosphorus (P) dynamics in the soil. Therefore, the aims of the present work were as follows: to evaluate the inorganic and organic fractions of P and its lability levels (labile, moderately labile, and moderately resistant) in a Distroferric Red Latosol under tillage regimes (TR) 3, 15, and 20 years after implementation, and to compare them with those of areas of native Cerrado and pastures. We also focus on analyzing the correlations of the P fractions in these areas with other soil attributes, such as total carbon and nitrogen levels, light organic matter (LOM), chemical and physical granulometric fractions of the SOM, maximum phosphate adsorption capacity (MPAC), and the remaining phosphorus (Prem). In each of these areas, samples were collected from the 0.0-0.05 and 0.05-0.10 m soil layers. An entirely randomized experimental design was used. After TR implementation, the constant use of phosphorus-based fertilizers as well as the incremental addition of SOM resulted in an increase in the levels of labile, moderate labile, and moderately resistant organic and inorganic P, with a tendency for total P accumulation to be mostly in the inorganic, moderately labile form. The native Cerrado soil presented high levels of labile and moderately labile inorganic P. Pasture areas presented the lowest levels of labile organic and inorganic P, as well as moderately labile and moderately resistant organic P. By principal component analysis (PCA), it was possible to observe alterations in all soil attributes and P levels of the fractions analyzed.(AU)

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: The ecology of microbial communities associated with organic phosphorus (P) mineralization in soils is still understudied. Here, we assessed the abundance and diversity of bacteria harbouring genes encoding ß-propeller phytases (BPP) in the rhizosphere of traditional and transgenic maize cultivated in two Brazilian soils. We found a soil-dependent effect towards a higher abundance of phytase genes in the rhizosphere, and an absence of any impact of plant genotype. Phylogenetic analyses indicated members of the genera Pseudomonas, Caulobacter, Idiomarina and Maricaulis, close to 'uncultured bacteria', to constitute the dominant bacteria hosting this gene. The results obtained validate a methodology to target bacteria that are involved in the organic P cycle, and depict the responsiveness of such bacteria to the rhizosphere, albeit in dependency of the soil in which maize is cultivated. The data also identified the major bacterial groups that are associated with the organic P mineralization function. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Micro-organisms play a key role in nutrient balance in soil ecosystems that are essential to life on the planet. However, some processes such as organic phosphorus mineralization, an important source of phosphorus supply in soil, is poorly studied mainly due the absence of an efficient methodology to assess the phytase-producing micro-organisms. In this study, a method to assess beta-propeller phytase (BPP)-carrying bacteria in soil was validated. This method may contribute to the knowledge of how these micro-organisms behave in the environment and contribute for plant growth promotion.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recycling of phosphorus (P) from organic residues (ORs) is important to develop environmentally friendly agriculture. The use of this P source depends on phosphatase enzymes, which can be affected by a chain of parameters during maturation of ORs. In this study the phosphatase activity levels throughout vermicomposting of filter cake (FC) and cattle manure (CM) were correlated with different physical and chemical parameters in an effort to increase the knowledge about recycling of P from ORs. RESULTS: FC presented higher total nitrogen content (TNC), total organic carbon (TOC), humic acid (HA) content, water-soluble P (WSP), phosphatase activities and nanopore volume than CM during vermicomposting. Decreases in TOC of CM resulted from carbohydrate mineralization, which was not observed for FC. CM showed increased hydrophobic index during vermicomposting while FC showed a slight decrease. CONCLUSION: Phosphatase activities correlated positively with TOC, pH and WSP and negatively with HA content for both vermicomposts. Nanopore volume was negatively correlated with phosphatase activities for FC but not for CM. No correlations between hydrophobicity and phosphatase activities were found for FC. Increased hydrophobicity throughout vermicomposting of CM could be partially associated with decreases in phosphatase levels.

RESUMO

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar as frações de fósforo (P) orgânico e inorgânico do solo, além de determinar os teores de fósforo remanescente (Prem) e correlacionar as frações do P com alguns atributos edáficos em áreas com diferentes sistemas de uso do solo no Cerrado goiano. Os sistemas agrícolas utilizados foram: integração lavoura-pecuária ILP (milho+braquiária/feijão/algodão/soja), sistema plantio direto SPD (girassol/milheto/soja/milho) e como referência, o Cerrado natural (Cerradão). Em área de Latossolo Vermelho e relevo plano, coletaram-se amostras de solo nas camadas de 0,00-10,0, 0,10-0,20, 0,20-0,30 e 0,30-0,40 m de profundidade. Foram determinados os teores de P orgânico Po (H+, OH- e lábil-L), P inorgânico Pi (H+, OH- e L), P-total (Pt) e Prem. Por meio de correlações de Pearson estimou-se a dependência entre as frações de P e alguns atributos edáficos (argila, frações da matéria orgânica do solo MOS, atributos químicos via adubação e óxidos de ferro). De maneira geral, os maiores teores de PiH+, PoH+, PtH+, PiOH-, PtOH-, PiL, PoL, PtL e Prem (0,00-0,10 m) foram encontrados no sistema de ILP em comparação ao SPD. Em relação à profundidade, os maiores teores das frações de P foram observados na camada superficial. As áreas cultivadas apresentaram maiores valores das frações de P quando comparada a área de Cerradão. Verificou-se dependência da fração PiH+ com a argila e a fertilidade (adubação); a fração PoH+ está relacionada aos óxidos de ferro (Fed e Feo) e as frações da MOS; a fração PiOH- mostrou-se dependente dos óxidos de ferro e do carbono da fração ácido fúlvico (C-FAF) e P, enquanto a fração PoOH- relacionou-se com o carbono da fração ácido húmico (C-FAH) e o Mg, Al e K. A fração PiL está relacionada a argila e adubação; enquanto o PoL, aos óxidos de ferro, ao C-FAF e C-FAH e a adubação.(AU)

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fractions of organic phosphorus (P) and inorganic soil, and to determine the remaining phosphorus (Prem) and correlate the fractions of P with some soil attributes in areas with different land use systems in the Cerrado region, Goias State. The farming systems were used: crop-livestock integration CLI (Brachiaria+corn/beans/cotton/soybean), no-tillage system NTS (sunflower/millet/soybean/corn) and as a reference, the natural Cerrado (Cerradão). In a completely randomized design in Oxisol and relief, were collected soil samples in the layers 0.00-0.10, 0.10-0.20, 0.20-0.30 and 0.30-0.40 m depth. Were determined organic P Po (H+, OH- and labile-L), inorganic P Pi (H+, OH-, and L), P-total (Pt) and Prem. Through Pearson correlations estimated the dependency between P fractions and some soil attributes (clay, fractions of soil organic matter SOM, soil chemical attributes via fertilization, and iron oxides). In general, the highest levels of PiH+, PoH+, PtH+, PiOH-, PtOH-, PiL, PoL, PtL and Prem (0.00-0.10 m) were found in the CLI system compared to the NTS. Regarding depth, the highest levels of P fractions were observed in the surface layer. The cultivated areas had higher values of P fractions when compared to Cerrado area. It was observed dependence of the fraction PiH+ with clay and fertility (fertilizer); fraction PoH+ is related to iron oxides (Fed and Feo) and SOM fractions, the fraction PiOH- was dependent on iron oxides and carbon of fulvic acid fraction (C-FAF) and P, while the fraction PoOH- related with the carbon of humic acid fraction (C-HAF) and Mg, Al and K. The fraction is related PiL clay and fertilizer, while the PoL, to iron oxides, the C-FAF and C-HAF and fertilizing. CLI system, due to the increased plant intake brachiaria, bovine manure randomly left in the area and fertilization performed, carries the greater availability of Pi and Po fractions than compared to SPD, without brachiaria.(AU)

RESUMO

Dissolved organic phosphorus utilization by different members of natural communities has been closely linked to microbial alkaline phosphatases whose affiliation and diversity is largely unknown. Here we assessed genetic diversity of bacterial alkaline phosphatases phoX and phoD, using highly diverse microbial consortia (microbialites and bacterioplankton) as study models. These microbial consortia are found in an oligo-mesotrophic soda lake with a particular geochemistry, exhibiting a low calcium concentration and a high Mg : Ca ratio relative to seawater. In spite of the relative low calcium concentration in the studied system, our results highlight the diversity of calcium-based metallophosphatases phoX and phoD-like in heterotrophic bacteria of microbialites and bacterioplankton, where phoX was the most abundant alkaline phosphatase found. phoX and phoD-like phylotypes were more numerous in microbialites than in bacterioplankton. A larger potential community for DOP utilization in microbialites was consistent with the TN : TP ratio, suggesting P limitation within these assemblages. A cross-system comparison indicated that diversity of phoX in Lake Alchichica was similar to that of other aquatic systems with a naturally contrasting ionic composition and trophic state, although no phylotypes were shared among systems.
