Researchers identified a group of gut bacteria called Gammaproteobacteria as a key indicator of soil pollution stress in soil invertebrates, finding these microbes respond sensitively to environmental contaminants and could serve as a biological signal for assessing soil ecosystem health.
Our results determined that Gammaproteobacteria were an indicator taxon in the guts of the soil invertebrates that responded to environmental concentrations of soil pollutants, thus providing an effective theoretical basis for subsequent assessments of soil ecological risk. The results of the physiological and biochemical analyses of the host and the microbial-community functions, and the antibiotic resistance of Gammaproteobacteria, provide new insights for evaluating global soil ecological health.
