Popis: | Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a type of plasticizer that has aroused great concern due to their mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic effects, wherefore dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and other PAEs have been listed as priority pollutants. In this study, the impacts of DBP on a soil-vegetable ecosystem were investigated. The results showed that DBP could accumulate within vegetable tissues, and the accumulative effect was enhanced with higher levels of DBP contamination in soils. DBP accumulation also decreased vegetable quality in various ways, including decreased soluble protein content and increased nitrate content. The diversity of bacteria in soils gradually decreased with increasing DBP concentration, while no clear association with endophytic bacteria was observed. Also, the relative abundance, structure, and composition of soil bacterial communities underwent successional change during the DBP degradation period. The variation of bulk soil bacterial community was significantly associated with DBP concentration, while changes in the rhizosphere soil bacteria community were significantly associated with the properties of both soil and vegetables. The results indicated that DBP pollution could increase the health risk from vegetables and alter the biodiversity of indigenous bacteria in soil-vegetable ecosystems, which might further alter ecosystem functions in agricultural fields. |
