A 3-month experiment was designed to research the impact of trifluralin (TFL) on soil microbial communities and functions under the condition of greenhouse. In this work, silty loam from Langfang was treated with three doses of TFL (1,260, 12,600, and 126,000 g ha−1) and incubated for 90 days. The half-lives of TFL were 15–23 days in all cases. The bacterial and fungal diversities and community structures were impacted by TFL. The bacterial functions of chemoheterotrophy and sulfur oxidation were decreased shortly, but the hydrocarbon degradation ability was significantly increased in the results of functional annotation of prokaryotic taxa (FAPROTAX). For the predicted results of Tax4Fun, amino acid (arginine and proline) metabolism and ABC transporter were decreased significantly, while nitrogen metabolism and ribosome translation were significantly increased. In conclusion, this work aids us to understand the risk of TFL in soil more comprehensively.
Introduction
Trifluralin (TFL, 2,6-dinitro-N, N-di-n-propyl-4-trifluoromethylaniline) is a fluorine-containing selective pre-emergence dinitroaniline herbicide, which is mainly used to control monocotyledonous weeds and annual broadleaf weeds, such as barnyard grass, Eragrostis cilianensis, crabgrass, setaria, and goosegrass (Nyporko et al., 2002; Zhu and Chen, 2003; Soltani et al., 2010; Perez-Moreno et al., 2014). It is an important herbicide in China, and there are 167 products that have been registered by 2021. The herbicidal mechanism of TFL is to inhibit the polymerization of tubulin and tissue development, inhibit meristem cell division, destroy cells, and inhibit photosynthesis to make weeds die (Nyporko et al., 2002; Chen et al., 2021). According to the research of Bansal (2011), most pesticides will get into the soil, especially for herbicides. TFL showed a long half-life in soil (Triantafyllidis et al., 2010; Du et al., 2018; Lu et al., 2019), and that was potentially harmful to soil life (Bezchlebová et al., 2007; Merlini et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2016).
Soil harbors thousands of microorganisms. They are the fundamental of soil functions and ecosystem balance, for example, maintaining plant growth and reproduction, removing harmful pollution, protecting groundwater, and fixing carbon (Zhao, 2008; Shu et al., 2016). However, the influenced soil microorganisms and impacted soil functions by pesticide have been proven by some researchers (Ju et al., 2016; Du et al., 2018; Fang et al., 2020). In the study by Ju, under the stress of myclobutanil, the abundance of bacteria, fungi, N-related gene (nifH and amoA), soil basal respiration, and microbial biomass carbon were impacted (Ju et al., 2016). Fang et al. (2020) reported that chloropicrin influenced bacterial abundance, community structure, and soil functions. In addition, in the study of Du et al. (2018), the authors reported that TFL influenced the biomass and the ecology of soil microorganisms, and the N cycling is also influenced. However, the previous research of Du et al. (2018) was limited as it was an indoor experiment without plants and the functions only focused on N cycling.
Thus, in order to get close to the actual situation and better understand the impact on soil ecology and functions, we designed a 3-month experiment in greenhouse to evaluate the impact of TFL on bacterial and fungal ecotoxicology and the related functions. The focuses of this work were to evaluate the following questions: 1) the impact of TFL on the soil microbial community structure and 2) evaluate the influence on soil functions in greenhouse. This work can help us to deeply understand the impact of TFL on soil microbiome and their functions in greenhouse.
Materials and Methods
Soil, Experimental Design, and Sample Collection
The soil was collected from the Langfang experimental site of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and classified as silty loam according to the particle size of each soil. The soil was filtered by a 2-mm sieve, and the physical and chemical properties of the soil were 18 g of organic matter kg−1, 74.9 mg of available phosphorus kg−1, an electric conductivity of 95.8 us cm−1, and a pH of 7.07. After that, the soil was placed in a 40 × 60 × 20 plastic basket, and the soil depth was 15 cm. Each basket contained 45 kg soil. There were some holes at the bottom of the plastic basket, and the diameter of each hole was 1 cm and the distance between every two holes was 5 cm. The soybean seed used was Zhonghuang 37. In each basket, 10 seeds were planted, and the sowing depth was 3–5 cm. The purity of TFL was 98.4%, which was bought from Beijing Qinchengyixin Technology Development Co., Ltd., (Beijing, China). There were three doses of TFL: T1 was the recommended dose of 1,260 g ha−1 in the field (0.03024 g for each basket), and T10 and T100 were 10 and 100 times of the recommended dose, respectively. The mother liquor was prepared with 1 ml acetone (0.03024 g for each basket for T1, 0.3024 g for each basket for T10, and 3.024 g for each basket for T100), and Tween 80 was added according to 0.5% of the mother liquor volume. After that, mother liquor was sprayed with 500 ml water in a hand-held sprayer. The control treatment has also been prepared and sprayed with 500 ml water. Each treatment was repeated three times. A 3-cm diameter soil sample was used to collect five samples in each plastic basket using a diagonal sampling method at days 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90. The sampling depth was 0–10 cm. The sampling site in basket was 3 cm away from the root. A part of each sample was used for the residual analysis of trifluralin, and the rest of the soil was stored at −80°C for DNA analysis.
Trifluralin Extraction and Detection
The procedure of TFL residue analysis was performed according to Du et al. (2018). Briefly, 5.0 g soil samples were extracted by 20 ml acetone. The extracted samples were detected by Agilent GC 7890A (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, United States) gas chromatography equipped with an electron capture detector. The carrier gas for gas chromatography was helium, and the flow rate was 1 ml min−1; the injection volume was 1 μl, without the shunt injection; the temperature of the injector was 250°C, and the initial temperature of the column was 150°C for 2 min, then the temperature of 20°C min−1 was increased to 280°C and held for 2 min. The electron capture detector temperature was 300°C.
DNA Extraction
A MoBio PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit (Mo Bio Laboratories, Carlsbad, CA, United States) was used to extract soil DNA. In total, 1% agarose gel electrophoresis was used to assess the extraction effect, and the DNA concentrations were measured by NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometry.
NGS of Bacterial and Fungal Communities
A GeneAmp 9700 PCR machine (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, United States) was used to amplify the 16S rDNA V3V4 region gene and ITS hypervariable region gene. The pair of primers used for 16S rRNA were 341F (5′-CCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG-3′) and 806R (5′-GGACTACNNGGGTATCTAAT-3′) (Yu et al., 2005), and for the ITS rRNA gene, ITS3_KYO2 (5′-GCATCGATGAAGAACGCAGC-3′) and ITS4 (5′-ATATGTAGGATGAAGAACGYAGYRAA-3′) (Tian et al., 2017) were used. PCR products were tested by gel electrophoresis and purified using the Qiagen PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Then, a Qubit 3.0 fluorometer was used to determine the concentration of PCR products. At last, Illumina HiSeq 4000 (Santiago, CA, United States of America) was used to sequence the qualified library, and the reading length was PE250.
Bioinformatics
Quantitative analysis of microbial ecology was used to operate procedures to process raw reads. The following rules were used to filter raw reads: the reads with >10% unknown nucleotides or <80% of the total number of nucleotides with the mass value >20 were removed. According to the overlapping relationship, the filtered reads were spliced into tags according to >10 bp overlapping and <2% mismatch rate. After removing the chimeric sequences, the reads of each sample were flattened, and then the sequences with similarity ≥97% were clustered into the same operational taxon by UPARSE (Edgar, 2013). The representative sequences of each operational taxon were selected and compared with the RDP database for species annotation. The Shannon Weiner index was used to calculate diversity. The Bray–Curtis distance was used to visualize beta diversity differences using principal component analysis (PCoA). Functions which related to the metabolism have been predicted by Tax4Fun (Aßhauer et al., 2015). Functional annotation of prokaryotic taxa (FAPROTAX) has been used to evaluate the impact on element cycling (Louca et al., 2016). FUNGuild has been used to predict the functions of fungi (Nguyen et al., 2016).
Data Analyses
One-way ANOVA and correlation analysis of the diversity of bacteria and fungi were performed using SAS statistical software version 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, United States). The significant differences of bacterial and fungal diversities between different treatments were tested using Fisher’s least significant difference test, and a 5% level was set (p < 0.05). The α diversity index was used to represent the diversity of bacteria and fungi in soil.
Results
TFL Degradation
The degradation dynamics of TFL in the soil was described by a bi-exponential kinetic model: PC(t) = A × exp(−k1 × t) + B × exp(−k2 × t), where PC is the concentration at time t; A and B are constants; and k1 and k2 are the dissipation kinetic constants of the first and second components, respectively (Figure 1, Table 1). The initial depositions were 0.80, 7.87, and 81.87 mg kg−1. After incubation, it was reduced to 95.26, 95.92, and 85.62% for T1, T10, and T100 treatments, with half-lives of 15, 23, and 21 days, respectively, in greenhouse. It was not detected in the control samples.

Bacterial and Fungal Profiles in Response to TFL
After quality filtering, we obtained 2,882,931 effective bacterial sequences, and they were clustered into 7,168 bacterial OTUs. The bacterial diversity is shown in Table 2, and it was just significantly increased at day 15 in all TFL treatments. The PCoA plot based on Bray–Curtis distance was used to analyze and compare the bacterial communities at the OTU level (Figure 2A). In the plot, control and T1 could be separated from others at days 15, 30, and 60.

Predatory or exoparasitic was increased in T10 and T100 treatments at day 7, but it was decreased in T1 and T10 treatments at day 60. Chemoheterotrophy and aerobic chemoheterotrophy were decreased by TFL at day 15, except for chemoheterotrophy in T100 treatments. Aliphatic non-methane hydrocarbon degradation was significantly increased in T100 treatment at day 30. Hydrocarbon degradation and aliphatic non-methane hydrocarbon degradation were significantly increased in T100 treatments at day 60. The dark oxidation of sulfur compounds was decreased in all TFL treatments at day 60. Nitrification and aerobic ammonia oxidation were significantly decreased in T10 treatment at day 60.

Effect of Trifluralin on Pathways
According to the OTU results of 16S rRNA sequencing, the Tax4Fun database was used for function prediction analysis. The most abundant 25 pathways are listed in Figure 4. The metabolism of the flagellar assembly was significantly increased from day 30 to day 60 in T10 and T100 treatments, but it was just increased at days 7 and 15 in T10. The ABC transporters, and arginine and proline metabolism were significantly decreased in T10 and T100 from day 7 to day 60, except for ABC transporters at day 60. The ribosomal translation was significantly increased from days 7 to 60 in all TFL treatments, except for T1 at day 15. Nitrogen metabolism was increased by TFL from days 30 to 60. Porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolisms were increased in T100 treatment at day 15, and increased in all TFL treatments at day 60.

Discussion
Soil microorganisms play an important role in the Earth’s ecosystem, such as the mineralization of organic matter, the circulation of organic carbon and nitrogen, and maintaining soil health. In the modern agricultural system, the herbicide is necessary to control herbs. But herbicide influences soil microbiome ecology and soil functions, which has been verified by some researchers (Pampulha et al., 2010; Zabaloy et al., 2012; Petric et al., 2014; Jiang et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2020; Pertile et al., 2021). TFL is a widely used herbicide for soybean, and Du et al. (2018) have evaluated the impact of TFL on soil ecology and N cycling. However, there were some limitations, for example, the scale of the experiment was small and they did not evaluate other soil functions. In order to make the data closer to actual agricultural production, we performed this study to evaluate the influence of TFL on soil ecology and functions under greenhouse conditions and planting soybean.
Compared with the previous study (Du et al., 2018), TFL degraded faster in greenhouse. One possible reason was that the greenhouse was a semi-open environment and some TFL has been dissipated by light (Le Person et al., 2007). In addition, there were too much soil in the basket that may induce species in deep soil to communicate with upper soil and promote TFL degradation. The TFL residue in soil in greenhouse also had impact on soil ecology and functions. The increased bacterial diversity suggested that the responses of TFL to diverse species were different. However, this result was opposite from the findings in the indoor experiment of Du et al. (2018), and the most possible reason may be due to the bigger scale of the experiment and higher biological communication. The increased effect of bacterial diversity was also detected in soils contaminated with thiamethoxam (Wu et al., 2020). In addition, the influenced bacterial diversity indicated that bacterial ecology has been seriously disturbed. Therefore, the soil functions were also impacted, which have been proven in this study. The effect of various species to pesticides is different, and it has been proven by Forlani et al. (1995). The changed bacterial community structures in this work were the indirect reflections of different effects of bacterial species on TFL. Similarly, Du et al. (2021) also reported that bacterial diversity and community were influenced by mesosulfuron-methyl in the indoor experiments. Furthermore, the influenced bacterial diversity and community were also observed in the studies of Herath et al. (2017). In addition to its direct effect on bacteria, TFL significantly decreased the diversity of fungi in T10 treatments that coincide with the results of the indoor experiment (Du et al., 2018). Clomazone also showed a decreased effect on the fungal diversity (Wu et al., 2020). The influenced fungal diversity also implied that the ecology and functions of fungi have been impacted. Compared with the fungal PCoA plot in the indoor experiments, the fungal community was slightly influenced, which suggested that the fungal community was more sensitive to TFL in the pot experiments.
Soil microbiota, the base of soil functions, is important in substance and energy exchange, ecological equilibrium maintains, soil fertility increase, and plant growth promotion (Wächtershäuser, 1990; Wardle et al., 2004; Falkowski et al., 2008; Lehtovirta-Morley et al., 2011). The influenced soil microbial ecology in this study suggested that soil functions were influenced. FAPROTAX and Tax4Fun were used to evaluate the functions which were mediated by bacteria. For the results of FAPROTAX, the hydrocarbon degradation ability was the most influenced ability. The aliphatic non-methane hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon degradation pathways were increased, suggesting that the related bacteria were acclimated by TFL and increased the hydrocarbon degradation ability. For the results of Tax4Fun, the ABC transporters decreased, suggesting that the ability of transmembrane transport was inhibited by TFL, which will influence most metabolism. In addition, the influenced amino acid (arginine and proline) and nitrogen metabolism suggested that N cycling has been influenced. The influenced fungal functions of saprotroph suggested that the decomposition process of soil has been influenced.
Conclusion
This study performed a pot experiment to explore the effect of TFL on soil microbial ecology and functions. In general, under the treatment of TFL, the bacterial diversity was increased and the fungal diversity was decreased. The bacterial and fungal communities were slightly influenced. Soil functions about hydrocarbon degradation, transmembrane transport, amino acid metabolism, and ribosomal translation were also influenced after TFL exposure. In addition, microbiome connections are also influenced by TFL. Therefore, TFL also showed influence on soil ecology and functions in the pot experiments.
