摘要： Sodium sulfate stress is known to improve cadmium (Cd) mobilization in soil and microbial sulfur oxidation, Cd resistance, and the accumulation of stress tolerance-associated metabolites has been correlated with increased soil Cd availability and toxicity. In this study, aerobic soil microcosms with Cd-contamination were stimulated with sodium sulfate to investigate its effects on soil microbial community structure, functional genes, and associated metabolite profiles. Metagenomic analysis revealed that sulfur oxidizing and Cd-resistant bacteria carried gene clusters encoding sox, dsr, and sqr genes, and znt, czc, and cad genes, respectively. Exposure to sodium sulfate resulted in the reprogram of soil metabolites. In particular, intensification of sulfur metabolism triggered an up-regulation in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, which promoted the secretion of carboxylic acids and their precursors by soil bacteria. The accumulation of organic acids induced in response to high sodium sulfate dosages potentially drove an observed increase in Cd mobility. Pseudomonas and Erythrobacter spp. exhibited a high capacity for adaptation to heavy metal- or sulfur-induced stress, evident by an increased abundance of genes and metabolites for sulfur cycling and Cd resistance. These results provide valuable insights towards understanding the microbial mechanisms of sulfur transformation and Cd dissolution under saline stress.
