Greenhouse pot trials were conducted to investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus mosseae, Glomus tortuosum, Glomus intraradices and Glomus etunicatum) inoculation on the seedling growth, occurance of Fusarium wilt, population of Fusarium oxysporum and rhizosphere microbial community functional diversity in faba bean rhizosphere soil. Results showed that after inoculation of G. mosseae, G. tortuosum, G. intraradices and G. etunicatum, the shoot and root fresh mass of faba bean seedlings increased significantly, the disease index of faba bean fusarium wilt decreased significantly by 94.0%, 60.0%, 64.0% and 94.0%, respectively, the amount of F. oxysporum of faba bean rhizosphere decreased significantly by 98.6%, 74.3%, 77.8% and 90.4%, respectively. The best inhibitory effects to Fusarium wilt were with G. mosseae and G. etunicatum treatments. Inoculation of G. mosseae, G. tortuosum and G. etunicatum significantly increased carbon sources utilization ability of carbohydrates, amino acids, carboxylic acids and phenolic acids, with the average well color development (AWCD) value being increased by 34.4%, 31.5% and 50.8% respectively, but such significant differences were not observed with inoculation of G. intraradice. Principal component analyses showed that inoculation of G. mosseae, G. tortuosum and G. etunicatum fungi changed the rhizospheric microbial community composition. Correlation analyses showed that the utilization of carbohydrates carbon sources (ß-Methyl-D-glucoside, D-Galacturonic acid, D-Mannitol, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine, D-Cellobiose,) and carboxylic acids carbon sources (D-Galactonic acid-γ-Lactone) were significantly increased after inoculation of G. tortuosum, and the utilization of L-Arginine and 4-Hydroxy benzoic acid significantly increased after inoculation of G. mosseae and G. etunicatum. Carbohydrates, carboxylic acids were main carbon sources utilized by rhizosphere microbes after G. tortuosum and G. intraradices inoculation, and amino acids and phenolic acids were main carbon sources utilized by rhizosphere microbes after G. mosseae and G. etunicatum inoculation. Inoculation of AM fungi significantly increased the activities of rhizosphere microbes, changed soil microbe community functional diversity, and thus inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum. The inhibitory impacts of AM fungi inoculations depended on the changes of microbes utilizing carbon sources.
