They look and grow like fungi but are biologically similar to bacteria. They grow hyphae-like threads that consume resistant organic matter, and they are tolerant of dry soil, alkaline soil, and high-temperature conditions. They produce antibiotics such as streptomycin and actinomycin that stop the growth of other microbes. Some of these are available as commercial drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Actinomycetes tend to be found in decaying organic matter.<br \/>\nThey can protect plant roots from disease, and in a few cases they cause diseases such as potato scab. Their affinity for higher temperatures and their ability to decompose tough organic matter makes them an important contributor in hot composting. These organisms are responsible for the earthy smell of damp, well-aerated soil.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frankia<\/em> are special actinomycetes that form symbiotic nitrogen-<br \/>\nfixing nodules on over two hundred species of nonleguminous plants. Most are trees and shrubs such as alders, sea buckthorn and <em>Casuarina<\/em> species, many of which are pioneer species that grow in very poor soil.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Does Soil Smell So Good?<\/h2>\n<p>The earthy smell that rises after a summer rain is so pleasant that we use it to scent perfumes. One of the compounds responsible for this fragrance is geosmin, and its biology in soil is very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Geosmin is made mostly by an actinomycetes called <em>Streptomyces<\/em>,<br \/>\nwhich makes a host of other compounds including the well known<br \/>\nantibiotic streptomycin. Scientists have been wondering for quite some time why this organism makes geosmin, and they now have<br \/>\nsome insight into this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Streptomyces<\/em> grow mycelium threads through the pores in soil.<br \/>\nWhen they run out of nutrients, it is time to move on, and they<br \/>\nform spores. These spores spread by wind and water. As part of the process of producing spores they also produce geosmin, which attracts springtails.<\/p>\n<p>Springtails are tiny critters (hexapods) that get their name from their ability to hop around like fleas, and they have a particular attraction for geosmin. As the springtails rummage through soil looking for geosmin, the <em>Streptomyces<\/em> spores get attached to the springtails who then spread them throughout the soil. Springtails are jumping Ubers for actinomycetes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115479\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM.jpg\" alt=\"Microbe Science for Gardeners\" width=\"800\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM-625x360.jpg 625w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM-600x250.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM-434x250.jpg 434w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/YVHRdfvE-Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM-156x90.jpg 156w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-13-at-12.35.38-PM.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">courtesy of New Society Publishers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Microbe Myth: Soil Is an Antidepressant That Makes You Feel Good<\/h2>\n<p>You probably saw the error-riddled meme that says, \u201cSoil is an antidepressant. The smell of <em>mycobacterium vacii<\/em>, a microorganism found in soil, compost and leaf mold, lights up neurotransmitters that release serotonin, a mood-lifting hormone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gardeners were quick to accept these facts, but I had a close look at the science behind this. First of all, there is no such organism; however, <em>Mycobacterium<\/em> <em>vaccae<\/em> does exist.<\/p>\n<p>Serotonin has been well studied and is known as the \u201cfeel-good hormone.\u201d It plays a key role in staving off anxiety and depression. So, if the smell from microbes in soil causes higher levels of serotonin, it is quite likely that these smells make us feel good. However, the pleasant smell of soil is due to geosmin which is made by <em>Streptomyces<\/em> bacteria, not <em>Mycobacterium<\/em> <em>vaccae<\/em>. It is also not linked to serotonin levels.<\/p>\n<p>There is no scientific evidence that exposure to <em>Mycobacterium<\/em> <em>vaccae<\/em> or geosmin changes our serotonin levels. As with most gardening memes, there is a smattering of truth, but most of the message is wrong. Don\u2019t believe gardening memes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt from &#8220;Microbe Science for Gardeners,&#8221; author Robert Pavlis digs into why soil smells good and if dirt really helps depression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":334,"featured_media":115479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,10458,10464,1],"tags":[1772,11853,11852,793],"class_list":["post-115475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crops-gardening","category-farm-garden","category-permaculture","category-uncategorized","tag-bacteria","tag-excerpts","tag-microbe-science-for-gardeners","tag-soil"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
