Materials and Methods

Soil and plant material.

Seeds of L. japonicus WT, ecotype Gifu B-129 and the corresponding symbiosis-deficient

mutants nfr5-2, nfr5-3, lhk1-1 and nin-2 were grown in soil batches collected from an

agricultural field located at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne,

Germany (50.958N, 6.865E) in the following seasons: CAS8-spring 2013, CAS9-fall 2013,

CAS10-spring 2014. The field was not cultivated in past years, no fertiliser or pesticide

treatment was administered at the harvesting site. For each genotype and soil batch, 3

biological replicas were obtained, and the samples were harvested from 10 weeks -old plants

grown in the greenhouse (day/night cycle 16/8h, light intensity 6000 LUX, temperature: 20

°C, relative humidity: 60%). Optional supplementation of the soil with potassium nitrate was

done by addition of KNO3 to a final concentration of 10 mM to the tap water used for plant

watering. For nitrogen supplementation experiment, plants were grown in CAS11 soil,

collected in fall 2015 from a location described before.

Sample and 16S library preparations.

Fragments of the root systems (4 cm-long starting 1 cm below hypocotyl) were washed and

ultrasound treated to separate the rhizosphere, root and nodule compartments. First wash

containing the root-adhering soil layer defined the rhizosphere compartment. Nodules and

visible primordia, were separated from washed root fragments of nodulating genotypes (WT

and lhk1-1) with a scalpel. Root samples were exposed to 10 cycles of 30” ultrasound

treatment, and the nodules to 3 cycles in order to avoid tissue out-burst. Homogenized

samples were transferred to lysis buffer and DNA extraction was performed following the

manufacturer’s protocol (MP Bioproducts). DNA concentrations were measured

fluorometrically (Quant-iT™ PicoGreen dsDNA assay kit, Life Technologies, Darmstadt,

Germany), and finally adjusted to 3,5 ng/μl. Primers targeting the variable V5-V7 regions of

bacterial 16S rRNA genes (799F and 1193R) (1, 2) were used for amplification. For each

sample, triplicate amplifications were performed using three independent PCR mixtures (9

replicates per sample in total, along with no template controls). Amplification products were

purified, combined and subjected to 454 sequencing.

Quantitative RT-PCR.

WT and mutant root samples were used for mRNA isolation using oligodT DYNA beads

following the protocol of the manufacturer (Invitrogen). The mRNA was subsequently used

as template for cDNA synthesis using an oligodT primer. The same cDNA pool was used for

amplification of all tested transcripts in each sample. Quantitative PCR was performed on

the LightCycler (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) using FastStart DNA master SYBR greenI kit

(Roche). The relative quantification software (Roche) was used to determine the efficiency-

corrected relative transcript concentration, normalized to a calibrator sample. ATP, UBC,

PP2A were used as housekeeping genes. For each genotype, normalized relative ratios of the

target genes and the three independent housekeeping genes have been calculated using the

Relative Quantification Software (Quant) from Roche. The geometric mean of the relative

expression ratios for the three biological and three technical replicates and the

corresponding 95% intervals of confidence have been calculated. Primers used for transcript

amplification are presented in Dataset S3.

Computational analyses.

The 16S rRNA gene sequences were processed using a combination of custom scripts as well

as tools from the QIIME (3) and USEARCH (4) pipelines (QIIIME-ready mapping files are

provided in the Dataset S4 and S5). First, reads were truncated to an even length (290 bp)

using the truncate_fasta_qual_files.py QIIME script. Libraries were demultiplexed

(split_libraries.py) and only reads with a quality score Q > 25 were retained for subsequent

analysis. After dereplication and removal of singletons we conducted de novo clustering of

sequences into OTUs using the UPARSE algorithm (5) at 97% identity. Next, chimeric

sequences were filtered using the UCHIME algorithm (6) implemented in the USEARCH

pipeline and the ‘gold’ database (http://drive5.com/uchime/gold.fa) as a reference. An

additional filtering step was performed by first aligning all OTU representative sequences to

the greengenes database (7) using PyNAST (8; align_seqs.py script in QIIME) and

subsequently discarding sequences not aligned to the database at least at 75% identity. OTU

representative sequences were classified taxonomically using the RDP classifier (9) and the

uclust algorithm (4) trained on the greengenes database. The resulting OTU table was used

in all subsequent statistical analyses of differentially abundant taxa as well analyses of alpha -

and beta-diversity.

Indices of α-diversity (Shannon, chao1 and number of observed OTUs) were calculated after

subsampling to an even depth of 1000 reads (QIIME script alpha_diversity.py). Measures of

β-diversity (Bray-Curtis and weighted and unweighted UniFrac; 10) were calculated on a

normalized OTU table (CSS method with QIIME script function beta_diversity.py). Principle

Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) was done by classical multidimensional scaling of β -diversity

distance matrices using the cmdscale function in R. Canonical Analysis of Principle

Coordinates (11; CAP) was computed using the capscale function implemented in the vegan

R library (12), by constraining for the variable of interest and conditioning for the remaining

Page 4: L. japonicus nfr5 , lhk1-1 nin-2 - PNAS€¦ · Materials and Methods Soil and plant material. Seeds of L. japonicus WT, ecotype Gifu B-129 and the corresponding symbiosis-deficient

factors. Statistical significance was determined using a permutation-based ANOVA test

implemented in anova.cca function using 5,000 permutations. Statistical analyses of

differentially abundant OTUs were performed using the edgeR library (13). Briefly, we first

obtained normalization factors using the function calcNormFactors and subsequently

estimated common and tag-wise dispersions for a Negative Binomial Generalized Linear

Model (GLM) using the estimateGLMCommonDisp and estimateGLMTagwiseDisp functions,

respectively. In order to test for differential OTU abundances, we then fit a negative

binomial generalized log-linear model to the read counts for OTU using the glmFit function.

P values were corrected for multiple tests using the approach of (14) with α=0.05.

Metabolite analysis

Root nitrate contents were determined by ion chromatography method as previously

described (15). Approximately 20 mg plant tissue was homogenized and extracted in 1 mL of

sterile water for 1 hour at 4°C. The extracts were heated for 15 min at 95°C and centrifuged

for 15 min at 13,000 rpm. Ten µL of the extracts were analysed on Dionex IonPac AS22 RFIC

4x250 mm analytical column (Thermo Scientific) using a carbonate buffer (4.5 mM Na2CO3,

1.4 mM NaHCO3) as eluent at 1 mL/min in an isocratic mode and a Dionex ICS-1100 ion

chromatography system. Proteins were extracted in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer, pH 8 and

determined with a Bio-Rad Protein Assay Kit using bovine serum albumin as standard.

Fig. S15. (a) Images depicting L. japonicus wild-type (a) and root nodule symbiosis-deficientmutant plants lhk1-1 (b) nfr5-2 (c) and nfr5-3 (d) and nin2 (e) grown in natural soil. The lowerpanels display an identical set of genotypes, wild-type (f), hit1-1 (g), nfr5-2 (h), nfr5-3 (i) andnin2 (j), grown in natural soil supplemented with 10 mM potassium nitrate. Scale barscorrespond to 1cm. (k) differences in nitrate concentrations in the roots of wild-type and Lotusmutants under both conditions. Differences in fresh weight of wild-type Lotus and mutantplants grown in natural soil (l) and in natural soil supplemented with potassium nitrate (m).

Fig. S16. (a) Constrained PCoA plot of Bray-Curtis distances between samples from KNO3treated CAS11 soil constrained by genotype (21.2% of variance, P>0.001; n=61).(b) Contrained PCoA plot of Bray-Curtis distances between CAS11 untreated samplesconstrained by genotype (21.8% of variance explained, P<0.001; n=58). Each pointcorresponds to a different sample, colored by compartment and each host genotype isrepresented by a different shape. The percentage of variation indicated in each axiscorresponds to the fraction of the total variance explained by the projection.
