白洋淀富营养化湖泊湿地厌氧氨氧化菌的分布及对氮循环的影响

随着生物反应器和海洋生态系统中厌氧氨氧化反应的发现,自然生态系统的氮循环过程被重新认识,但是目前厌氧氨氧化过程是否也存在于富营养化湖泊湿地并发挥着重要作用,还未见报道。结合15N同位素示踪与分子生物学技术研究了白洋淀湖泊湿地沉积物中厌氧氨氧化菌的分布、菌群结构特性、生物多样性及其活性。结果表明,在藻类影响导致的高氨氮沉积物中,厌氧氨氧化菌具有广泛存在性。通过构建16S rRNA克隆文库发现,沉积物中厌氧氨氧化菌的生物多样性相对较低,在2%差异度的条件下,30个克隆序列只分为5个操作分类单元(OTUs),代表序列与Genebank数据库中已探明的厌氧氨氧化菌Candidatus Brocadia fulgida和Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans同源性最高,分别可达97%和96%。同位素示踪结果表明,白洋淀湖泊湿地沉积物中厌氧氨氧化活性为0.19—7.78 nmol N g-1h-1,空间差异较大,产生的氮气占此沉积物总氮气生成量的0.64%—20.65%,体现了湿地的异质性。通过得出的厌氧氨氧化反应速率推算每年由厌氧氨氧化反应损失的氮量为1.8—78gN m-2a-1,对白洋淀氮循环起到非常重要的作用。富营养化湖泊湿地沉积物中厌氧氨氧化反应的发现为研究厌氧氨氧化对氮循环的重要影响提供了新证据。     

Diversity,abundance, and distribution of NO‐forming nitrite reductase–encoding genes in deep‐sea subsurface sediments of the South China Sea

In marine ecosystems, both nitrite‐reducing bacteria and anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria, containing different types of NO‐forming nitrite reductase–encoding genes, contribute to the nitrogen cycle. The objectives of study were to reveal the diversity, abundance, and distribution of NO‐forming nitrite reductase–encoding genes in deep‐sea subsurface environments. Results showed that higher diversity and abundance of nirS gene than nirK and Scalindua‐nirS genes were evident in the sediments of the South China Sea (SCS), indicating bacteria containing nirS gene dominated the NO‐forming nitrite‐reducing microbial community in this ecosystem. Similar diversity and abundance distribution patterns of both nirS and Scalindua‐nirS genes were detected in this study sites, but different from nirK gene. Further statistical analyses also showed both nirS and Scalindua‐nirS genes respond similarly to environmental factors, but differed from nirK gene. These results suggest that bacteria containing nirS and Scalindua‐nirS genes share similar niche in deep‐sea subsurface sediments of the SCS, but differed from those containing nirK gene, indicating that community structures of nitrite‐reducing bacteria are segregated by the functional modules (NirS vs. NirK) rather than the competing processes (anammox vs. classical denitrification).     

Molecular Evidence for the Broad Distribution of Anaerobic Ammonium-Oxidizing Bacteria in Freshwater and Marine Sediments

Previously available primer sets for detecting anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are inefficient, resulting in a very limited database of such sequences, which limits knowledge of their ecology. To overcome this limitation, we designed a new primer set that was 100% specific in the recovery of ~700-bp 16S rRNA gene sequences with >96% homology to the “Candidatus Scalindua” group of anammox bacteria, and we detected this group at all sites studied, including a variety of freshwater and marine sediments and permafrost soil. A second primer set was designed that exhibited greater efficiency than previous primers in recovering full-length (1,380-bp) sequences related to “Ca. Scalindua,” “Candidatus Brocadia,” and “Candidatus Kuenenia.” This study provides evidence for the widespread distribution of anammox bacteria in that it detected closely related anammox 16S rRNA gene sequences in 11 geographically and biogeochemically diverse freshwater and marine sediments.

Molecular evidence for the broad distribution of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria in freshwater and marine sediments

Previously available primer sets for detecting anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are inefficient, resulting in a very limited database of such sequences, which limits knowledge of their ecology.

Mimicking the oxygen minimum zones: stimulating interaction of aerobic archaeal and anaerobic bacterial ammonia oxidizers in a laboratory‐scale model system

In marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), ammonia‐oxidizing archaea (AOA) rather than marine ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) may provide nitrite to anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria. Here we demonstrate the cooperation between marine anammox bacteria and nitrifiers in a laboratory‐scale model system under oxygen limitation. A bioreactor containing ‘Candidatus Scalindua profunda’ marine anammox bacteria was supplemented with AOA (Nitrosopumilus maritimus strain SCM1) cells and limited amounts of oxygen. In this way a stable mixed culture of AOA, and anammox bacteria was established within 200 days while also a substantial amount of endogenous AOB were enriched. ‘Ca. Scalindua profunda’ and putative AOB and AOA morphologies were visualized by transmission electron microscopy and a C₁₈ anammox [3]‐ladderane fatty acid was highly abundant in the oxygen‐limited culture. The rapid oxygen consumption by AOA and AOB ensured that anammox activity was not affected. High expression of AOA, AOB and anammox genes encoding for ammonium transport proteins was observed, likely caused by the increased competition for ammonium. The competition between AOA and AOB was found to be strongly related to the residual ammonium concentration based on amoA gene copy numbers. The abundance of archaeal amoA copy numbers increased markedly when the ammonium concentration was below 30 μM finally resulting in almost equal abundance of AOA and AOB amoA copy numbers. Massive parallel sequencing of mRNA and activity analyses further corroborated equal abundance of AOA and AOB. PTIO addition, inhibiting AOA activity, was employed to determine the relative contribution of AOB versus AOA to ammonium oxidation. The present study provides the first direct evidence for cooperation of archaeal ammonia oxidation with anammox bacteria by provision of nitrite and consumption of oxygen.     

Molecular Detection of Anaerobic Ammonium-Oxidizing (Anammox) Bacteria in High-Temperature Petroleum Reservoirs

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) process plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle of the worldwide anoxic and mesophilic habitats. Recently, the existence and activity of anammox bacteria have been detected in some thermophilic environments, but their existence in the geothermal subterranean oil reservoirs is still not reported. This study investigated the abundance, distribution and functional diversity of anammox bacteria in nine out of 17 high-temperature oil reservoirs by molecular ecology analysis. High concentration (5.31–39.2 mg l^?1) of ammonium was detected in the production water from these oilfields with temperatures between 55°C and 75°C. Both 16S rRNA and hzo molecular biomarkers indicated the occurrence of anammox bacteria in nine out of 17 samples. Most of 16S rRNA gene phylotypes are closely related to the known anammox bacterial genera Candidatus Brocadia, Candidatus Kuenenia, Candidatus Scalindua, and Candidatus Jettenia, while hzo gene phylotypes are closely related to the genera Candidatus Anammoxoglobus, Candidatus Kuenenia, Candidatus Scalindua, and Candidatus Jettenia. The total bacterial and anammox bacterial densities were 6.4?±?0.5?×?10³ to 2.0?±?0.18?×?10⁶ cells ml^?1 and 6.6?±?0.51?×?10² to 4.9?±?0.36?×?10⁴ cell ml^?1, respectively. The cluster I of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed distant identity (<92%) to the known Candidatus Scalindua species, inferring this cluster of anammox bacteria to be a new species, and a tentative name Candidatus “Scalindua sinooilfield” was proposed. The results extended the existence of anammox bacteria to the high-temperature oil reservoirs.     

More refined diversity of anammox bacteria recovered and distribution in different ecosystems

A newly reported 16S rRNA gene-based PCR primer set was successfully applied to detect anammox bacteria from four ecosystem samples, including sediments from marine, reservoir, mangrove wetland, and wastewater treatment plant sludge. This primer set showed ability to amplify a much wider coverage of all reported anammox bacterial genera. Based on the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene of anammox bacteria, two new clusters were obtained, one closely related to Candidatus Scalindua, and the other in a previously reported novel genus related to Candidatus Brocadia. In the Scalindua cluster, four new subclusters were also found in this study, mainly by sequences of the South China Sea sediments, presenting a higher diversity of Candidatus Scalindua in marine environment. Community structure analyses indicated that samples were grouped together based on ecosystems, showing a niche-specific distribution. Phylogenetic analyses of anammox bacteria in samples from the South China Sea also indicated distinguished community structure along the depth. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the amount of anammox bacteria in the detected samples was positively correlated with the nitrate concentration. According to Canonical Correspondence Analysis, pH, temperature, nitrite, and nitrate concentration strongly affected the diversity and distribution of anammox bacteria in South China Sea sediments. Results collectively indicated a promising application of this new primer set and higher anammox bacteria diversity in the marine environment.
