Sample collection was carried out as part of the ‘multi omic’ approach of the MIMAS (Microbial Interaction in MArine Systems) project (www.mimas-project.de ). Surface water was collected on 11 February 2009 and weekly from 31 March 2009 until October 2009. Water samples (total volume 360 l) from the Kabeltonne site at Helgoland Roads in the North Sea (54°11.18′N, 7°54.00′E) were collected at a depth of 0.5 m and processed immediately at the Biological Station Helgoland. The water was pre-filtered through a 10 μm and a 3 µm pore-size filter. For harvesting a 0.2 -μm-pore-size filter was used. At each time point 10 l and 15 l of seawater were filtered onto 8 filters for genomic DNA extraction. All filters were stored at −80°C until future usage. Details can be found in Teeling et al. (22 (link)). In this study, 16S rDNA pyrotag analysis with Roche’s 454 FLX Titanium technology was performed using samples from: 11 February 2009, 7 April 2009 and 14 April 2009. Results from 16S rDNA diversity analysis gained from metagenome studies of the same sampling dates (22 (link)) were used for comparison.

Due to the overwhelming sparsity in microbiome datasets, some filtering is required in order to infer microbe-metabolite interactions. We chose to filter out microbes that appear in less than 10 samples, since these microbes don’t have enough information to infer which metabolites are co-occurring with them. In other words the mmvec model has too many degrees of freedom to perform inference on these microbes. For the cystic fibrosis study, there were 172 samples and after filtering there were 138 unique microbial taxa and 462 metabolite features. For the biocrust soils study, there were 19 samples and after filtering there were 466 unique microbial taxa and 85 metabolite features. For the murine high fat diet study, there were 434 samples and after filtering there were 902 microbes and 11978 metabolites. For the IBD dataset, there were 13920 features in the c18 LCMS dataset, 26966 features in the c8 LCMS dataset and 562 taxa. Cross validation was performed across all studies to evaluate overfitting. In the desert biocrust soils experiment, 1 sample out of 19 samples was randomly chosen to be left out for cross-validation. In all of the other studies, 10 samples were randomly chosen to be left out for cross-validation. All of the analyses can be found under https://github.com/knightlab-analyses/multiomic-cooccurences .

There are technical drivers of research priorities: the tools we have. As soon as certain aspects of plant functioning become measurable, we start using those tools and assign overarching significance to these measurements, perhaps, because we aim at doing important things, simply because we are important, at least to ourselves. Things we cannot measure or observe become a matter of unimportance. Although we will continue to depend on scientific tools and their availability, the challenge is, not to get trapped in studying what we have tools for, but to go beyond, based on the challenges posed by theory, developing novel approaches that will permit us entering the terrain that remained largely unexplored for methodological reasons.
As was explained above, water shortage and low temperature, and to some extent nutrient shortage, are not primarily affecting plant carbon capture (photosynthesis), but rather affect tissue formation directly. Well known in plant physiology, plant ecologists tend to overlook the great sensitivity of meristematic tissues to low turgor pressure, low temperature, and shortage in key nutrients. These tissues stop building new cells at water potentials, low temperatures, and critically low nutrient supply that still permit reasonably high rates of photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Not surprisingly, the initial response of plants to such tissue-level growth constraints leads to an accumulation of non-structural carbon-metabolites (osmotically inactive ones such as starch and lipids), rather than to carbon-starvation (Körner, 2003 (link)). This discrepancy between awareness and reality roots in the convenient tools and techniques we have to measure photosynthesis and the absence of tools to monitor cell division and cell differentiation in situ, and/or to assess discrepancies between demand and supply of photoassimilates.
Another example for our methods driven priorities is the generally great significance attributed to air conditioning or to climate aspects in general when manipulative experiments are designed (e.g., CO2-enrichment works), although soils exert far greater influences on plant responses to what ever treatment we apply. I invite readers to check the length authors spend on describing atmospheric conditions in their experiments versus the soil conditions. The simple reason is that we can engineer atmospheric conditions, but we have no means to engineer plant–soil or plant–soil–microbe interactions, as decisive these might be. To my knowledge, the only experiment where the response of plants to a high CO2-environment were tested with plants growing in two different soil types (see Spinnler et al., 2002 (link)), revealed two different story lines, just depending on which soil was chosen. The challenge is to arrive at a broad appreciation that soil conditions (e.g., disturbed or undisturbed) are pre-determining experimental results. I join Högberg et al. (2005 ) in their viewing soil microbiota associated with roots as an integral part of plant functioning, to the extent, that they may actually be seen as part of the autotrophic system, rather than belonging to the heterotrophic world.
On a similar avenue, root research was and still is a minor fraction compared to leaf research, although there is no theoretical reason for such a posteriority. Both are equally significant, in fact roots may be more influential with respect to limiting resources. The only reason is methodology. While a leaf can be studied in isolation (e.g., some sensors mounted to it), a root does not function properly without its intact rhizosphere, apart from its poor visibility. We can “bring” the atmosphere into the lab (growth chambers), but we cannot bring a coupled rhizosphere to the lab. Any pot experiment is confounded as soon as plants respond differently to two treatments, because, inevitably, the treatment changes the root-space/plant size relationship. So the challenge here is testing hypothesis on plant responses with plants grown with unconstrained, well-developed soil biota in action. Most commonly, this can only be done in the field.

Cultures of M. voltae and M. barkeri were maintained by weekly transfers (10% v/v) into fresh medium with Fe(II) as Fe source, HS− or L-cysteine as S source, and formate or methanol as methanogenesis substrate, respectively. Cells were washed prior to inoculation by pelleting them in sealed 50 ml centrifuge tubes (Globe Scientific, Mahwah, NJ) at 4700 × g for 20 min at 4 °C in a swing-out bucket rotor. Spent medium was decanted in an anaerobic chamber and the cell pellet was resuspended in sterile and anoxic Fe/S-free basal medium. All experiments used washed M. voltae and M. barkeri cells grown with 26 µM Fe(II) and either 2 mM HS− or 2 mM L-cysteine as inoculum (10% v/v), respectively. After inoculation, the headspaces of microcosms were flushed with an 80:20 (v/v) mixture of N2–CO2 gas that had been passed through a 0.2 µm filter for at least 15 min before being pressurized (final pressure of 3.14 atm). M. voltae and M. barkeri were incubated at 38 °C. All cultures were incubated statically on their sides to minimize disruption of microbe-mineral interactions while maximizing gas diffusion.

Raw data were first filtered by Trimomatic (v0.33) (Bolger, Lohse & Usadel, 2014 (link)). Primer sequences were then identified and removed by Cutadapt 1.9.1 (Martin, 2011 (link)), resulting in high-quality reads without primer sequences. Based on overlapping sequences, high-quality reads were assembled by FLASH (v1.2.7) (Magoc & Salzberg, 2011 (link)), which generated clean reads. Chimeric sequences were identified and removed by UCHIME (v4.2) (Edgar et al., 2011 (link)), generating effective reads. The effective reads were then clustered with Usearch software (v10) at a similarity level of 97.0% to obtain operational taxonomic units (OTUs) tables (Edgar, 2013 (link)). QIIME2 software (V2020.6) was used to evaluate the Alpha diversity and Beta diversity of samples (Bolyen et al., 2019 (link)). Taxonomic annotation was carried out based on SILVA database (release 138) (Quast et al., 2013 (link)), and the community composition of each sample was counted at six levels (phylum, class, order, family, genus, species). PICRUSt2 (Douglas et al., 2019 (link)) was used to perform bacterial function prediction analysis, and FUNGuild (Nguyen et al., 2016 (link)) was used to predict the nutritional and functional groups of the fungal communities. Biomarkers were extracted using the RandomForest (Breiman, Last & Rice, 2006 ) package in R (V4.2) (Ihaka & Gentleman, 1996 (link)). Network analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) were performed to assess the interaction between rhizosphere microorganisms and environmental factors. Gephi software (V0.9.7) (Bastian, Heymann & Jacomy, 2009 (link)) was used for network analysis based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient. RStudio (V2022.07.1) was used for the RDA analysis and the heatmap (Racine, 2012 (link)). The STAMP (V2.1.3) software (Parks et al., 2014 (link)) was used to analyze the functional differences between rhizosphere microbiota. Box maps, abundance maps and PcoA analysis were performed using the online mapping tool imageGP (http://www.ehbio.com/Cloud_Platform/front/#/ ) (Chen, Liu & Huang, 2022 (link)). Venn diagrams was produced using the online mapping tool jvenn (http://www.bioinformatics.com.cn/static/others/jvenn/example.html ) (Bardou et al., 2014 (link)).

The concentration and purity of total genomic DNA, which was extracted from ileal digesta following the CTAB method, was monitored by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. 16S rDNA sequences spanning the distinct regions V3-V4 were amplified with the primer sets 515 F and 806 R with barcodes. All procedures were conducted by Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China) as described previously [19 (link)]. Beta diversity was visualized by multivariate statistical methods such as principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). Visual heat maps were acquired according to the Spearman correlation and its significance between microbial species and intestinal apparent index. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and variance partial analysis (VPA) were adopted to quantify interpretations of the distribution of microbial communities by certain factors. Graphviz was used to draw the microbial interaction network for each treatment considering the species abundance and correlation between each genus.

A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the broad trends of microbial community composition and geochemistry in the hydraulic fractured shale microbiome. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: (1) published before December 2021; (2) used high-throughput amplicon sequencing to target the V4 region of the16S rRNA genes in bacteria/archaea; and (3) provided corresponding geochemical characterization to the sequencing data. Several high-throughput studies were excluded since the sequencing protocols did not match the targeted single locus approach of our study (e.g., [11 (link), 33 ]) or the raw data (sequences with quality information) were not publicly deposited or otherwise obtainable (e.g., [12 , 34 (link), 35 ]). All datasets included in the meta-analysis are detailed in (Additional file 2 ). Sequencing runs were downloaded using the function fastq-dump from the SRA Tool-box.
Sequencing datasets were processed separately following the same workflow to minimize technical bias, using QIIME2 and associated plugins as described above. The exception is a pre-processing step that trimmed off the primers with cutadapt [36 ]. When applying DADA2 for denoising and ASV generation, only forward reads were used with the same trunc-len parameter (120 bp) for all datasets. The representative sequences and ASV tables obtained from each dataset were then merged using the feature-table merge function. Taxonomic assignation and phylogenetic tree construction were based on these merged artifacts. The compiled dataset was imported to R and rarefied (evenness = 1259). Alpha and beta diversity metrics were calculated with the microeco package [32 (link)]. Missing values in the geochemical dataset were imputed using the char method from the mice package [37 ]. Redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to determine which geochemical variables influence changes in microbial community composition using the vegan package. Network analysis was used to visualize microbial interactions across formations. This analysis was based on a pruned dataset that contained only ASVs comprising more than 1% of the sequences recovered from at least one sample. The SPIEC-EASI statistical method was used to construct the network, which combines a transformation for compositional correction of the ASVs and graphical model to infer the network based on the inverse covariance matrix [38 (link)]. The method was implemented with the trans-network class from the microeco package. Network attributes were obtained with the same package. Nodes classified based on within-module connectivity and among-module connectivity using the thresholds described elsewhere [39 (link)], were obtained with the same package. The network was visualized using Gephi version 0.9.4.

After cleaning the 16S data, to compare the gut microbial diversity of D. concinnus associated with females and males that fed on cry1ab/ac(+) and cry1ab/ac(−) cotton, we calculated Shannon–Wiener indexes. Statistically significant differences in alpha diversity between microbial communities were calculated with the Wilcoxon rank sum test using the “vegan” package in R [21 (link)]. To compare gut microbial diversity in the interaction between host sex and diet, we performed ANOVA tests. In addition, we built a network of gut microbial associations of females and males that fed on cry1ab/ac(+) and cry1ab/ac(−) cotton, following Matchado et al. [22 (link)]. We used Pearson’s method to calculate positive or negative associations between taxa, the Student’s t-test to determine significant differences, and the multRepl method (multiplicative replacement) to efficiently handle zeros. Moreover, we used an adaptive Benjamini–Hochberg model (adaptBH) [23 (link)] to control the false discovery rate (FDR) of multiple pairwise comparisons (i.e., the probability that the link formed between pairs of nodes is true after being rejected by the statistical test). This method assesses if a particular element is associated with some condition adjusted to a linear model [24 (link)], allowing for the proportion of significant tests that lack the association to be estimated. The Benjamini–Hochberg method assumes that all null hypotheses are true when estimating the number of null hypotheses erroneously considered false. Consequently, the FDR estimate is inflated and, therefore, conservative.
To determine substructures (neighborhoods) within the gut microbial networks, we employed a modularity optimization algorithm (fast greedy) [25 (link)]. We compared the similarity between clusters with the Adjusted Rand index (ARI). ARI values range from 0 (no agreement) to 1 (perfect agreement) [26 (link)]. We constructed a differential network with the taxa shared between females and males fed on cry1ab/ac(+) and cry1ab/ac(−) cotton and compared the edges with Fisher’s test. The differential association network allows for determination of the change in the associations (from positive to negative, and vice versa) between pairs of nodes given the compositional abundance of the taxa. Finally, we compared the relative compositional abundance of bacterial groups in the intestines of males and females using a Wilcoxon rank sum test, a non-parametric method equivalent to a t-test.
All statistical analyses were conducted in the R statistical computing environment [27 ]. The packages used for the handling, construction, comparison, and visualization of the microbial networks were: microbiome [28 (link)], igraph [29 ], qiime2R [30 ], NetCoMi [31 (link)], and ggpubr [32 ].
