Effective isolation of bacterioplankton genus Polynucleobacter from freshwater environments grown on photochemically degraded dissolved organic matter

Effective isolation of freshwater bacterioplankton belonging to genus Polynucleobacter from a shallow eutrophic lake and its tributary was achieved by size-selective filtration with a 0.7-μm pore filter and cultivation on R2A agar medium. Partial 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that over 80% of all the strains were highly similar to the Polynucleobacter cluster. Essential medium components for effective cultivation are pyruvate, yeast extract and peptone, whereas soluble starch and glucose are not necessary. Isolate KF001 (affiliated with Polynucleobacter subcluster D) has a strict requirement for organic acids as carbon sources, and we hypothesize that the Polynucleobacter cluster of bacteria could utilize compounds formed via photochemically dissolved organic matter (DOM) degradation for growth. Because organic acids form from solar radiation of DOM in aquatic environments, carbon sources that are typical products of DOM photochemical degradation were added to the medium. These compounds were readily utilized by KF001 in this study. Finally, we observed the stimulation of strain KF001 activity by photochemical degradation of natural lake water. Our findings suggest a carbon flow of DOM photoproducts to Polynucleobacter in the freshwater microbial loop.     

Influence of dissolved organic matter source on lake bacterioplankton structure and function--implications for seasonal dynamics of community composition

It has been suggested that autochthonous (internally produced) organic carbon and allochthonous (externally produced) organic carbon are utilized by phylogenetically different bacterioplankton. We examined the relationship between the source of organic matter and the structure and function of lake bacterial communities. Differences and seasonal changes in bacterial community composition in two lakes differing in their source of organic matter were followed in relation to environmental variables. We also performed batch culture experiments with amendments of various organic substrates, namely fulvic acids, leachates from algae, and birch and maple leaves. Differences in bacterial community composition between the lakes, analysed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism, correlated with variables related to the relative loading of autochthonous and allochthonous carbon (water colour, dissolved organic carbon, nutrients, and pH). Seasonal changes correlated with temperature, chlorophyll and dissolved organic carbon in both lakes. The substrate amendments led to differences in both structure and function, i.e. production, respiration and growth yield, of the bacterial community. In conclusion, our results suggest that the source of organic matter influences community composition both within and among lakes and that there may be a coupling between the structure and function of the bacterial community.     

海水中天然细菌对不同生源要素有机物的矿化作用

海洋异养细菌是微食物网中非常重要的一部分,它消耗海洋中的溶解有机物并进行细菌的二次生产。细菌对不同种类的溶解有机物分解速率不同,并且有机物的生物利用率影响细菌的生长。研究了含有不同生源要素的4种溶解有机物(DOM)在海洋异养细菌存在下的矿化作用及对细菌生长的影响。结果表明:添加不同生源要素的有机物,对海洋天然异养细菌的生长均有促进作用,其比生长速率(μ)的大小顺序为:NCPS对照组,说明含氮有机物更有助于细菌的生长;细菌生长效率(BGE)的大小顺序为:对照组CPNS,说明细菌的二次生产跟有机物的分解速率没有直接相关性;单个细菌对有机物的消耗速率I为:NCPS对照组,说明细菌生长速率与有机物消耗速率直接相关;有机物的生物可利用性顺序为:NCPS对照组,与有机物的消耗速率顺序一致。上述结果表明,具有相同结构但不同生源要素的有机物的矿化速率存在差异,含氮有机物最容易分解,其次是含碳有机物,然后是含磷有机物,含硫有机物分解最慢,说明细菌对含有不同生源要素有机物的分解利用存在差异。     

Photo-oxidation of dissolved organic matter for trace metal analysis

Abstract

Photo-oxidation of dissolved organic matter in saline and non- saline samples is monitored by measurement of residual fluorescence intensity. For fulvic acids, the method has a detection limit of 0.005 mg C L^?1, and maximum photo-oxidation is achieved with H₂O₂ oxidant and a low-intensity UV source.     

The role of dissolved organic matter bioavailability in promoting phytoplankton blooms in Florida Bay

The clear, shallow, oligotrophic waters of Florida Bay are characterized by low phytoplankton biomass, yet periodic cyanobacteria and diatom blooms do occur. We hypothesized that allochthonous dissolved organic matter (DOM) was providing a subsidy to the system in the form of bound nutrients. Water from four bay sites was incubated under natural light and dark conditions with enrichments of either DOM ( > 1 kD, 2×DOM) or inorganic nutrients (N+P). Samples were analyzed for bacterial numbers, bacterial production, phytoplankton biomass, phytoplankton community structure, and production, nutrients, and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity. The influence of 2×DOM enrichment on phytoplankton biomass developed slowly during the incubations and was relatively small compared to nutrient additions. Inorganic nutrient additions resulted in an ephemeral bloom characterized initially as cyanobacterial and brown algae but which changed to dinoflagellate and/or brown algae by day six. The DIN:TP ratio decreased 10-fold in the N+P treatments as the system progressed towards N limitation. This ratio did not change significantly for 2×DOM treatments. In addition, these experiments indicated that both autotrophic and heterotrophic microbial populations in Florida Bay may fluctuate in their limitation by organic and inorganic nutrient availability. Both N+P and 2×DOM enrichments revealed significant and positive response in bioavailability of dissolved organic carbon (BDOC). Potential BDOC ranged from 1.1 to 35.5%, with the most labile forms occurring in Whipray Basin. BDOC at all sites was stimulated by the 2×DOM addition. Except for Duck Key, BDOC at all sites was also stimulated by the addition of N+P. BDOC was lower in the dry season than in the wet season (5.56% vs. 16.86%). This may be explained by the distinct chemical characteristics of the DOM produced at different times of year. Thus, both the heterotrophic and autotrophic microbial communities in Florida Bay are modulated by bioavailability of DOM. This has ramifications for the fate of DOM from the Everglades inputs, implicating DOM bioavailability as a contributing factor in regulating the onset, persistence, and composition of phytoplankton blooms.

Dissolved organic matter quantity and quality from freshwater and saltwater lakes in east-central Alberta

Concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters of sub-humid to semi-arid lakes in east-central Alberta increase with increasing salinity and water residence time from about 20 to 330 mg L^–1 as dissolved organic carbon (DOC). This pattern is opposite to that observed among freshwater lakes spanning a gradient in water residence times, and is probably caused by evaporative concentration of refractory DOM. The proportion of total DOC, operationally defined as humic substances using XAD-8 resin, was high, though similar to surface waters typically referred to as "humic", and independent of salinity. Very long water residence times (hundreds of years) in saline lakes favors evapoconcentration of low-color, low molecular weight DOM, with N-content characteristic of allochthonous DOM.     

Degradation of surface-water dissolved organic matter: influences of DOM chemical characteristics and microbial populations

The degree to which biodegradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) depends on microbial community structure and source remains unknown. In this study, we concentrated the microbial biomass from two streams in northern Michigan and a dystrophic bog lake in northern Wisconsin with varying initial DOM concentration (6.7–78.8 mg C l^–1) and DOM chemical characteristics (e.g. DOM average molecular weights from 808–1887 Da). Each of the three microbial inocula was added to each of the three DOM sources at in situ population levels for a total of nine treatments. Changes in DOM concentration and bacterial productivity, along with chemical characteristics, were examined over 308 h. The [³H]-leucine incorporation method was used to measure microbial production. In two of three sampling sites, bacterial communities were most productive when metabolizing DOM in their native waters. A variable peak in productivity was seen between 16–48 h after inoculation, followed by a drop in productivity in most treatments, with periods of DOM production most likely due to microbial turnover. These data suggest that microbial communities are better able to degrade the DOM of their native habitats, suggesting that biodegradation of DOM is influenced by source-specific microbial species and DOM chemical characteristics.     

水溶性有机物电子转移能力及其生态效应

水溶性有机物(Dissolved organic matter,DOM)是生态系统最为活跃的有机物组分,参与众多物理、化学及生物过程.DOM具有电子转移能力,主要原因在于结构中包含的醌基官能团,通过醌、半醌和氢醌之间的可逆转化完成电子转移过程.DOM作为电子穿梭体,循环参与电子转移的能力是其发挥生态效应的重要体现.研究表明,DOM可以通过氧化还原反应介导环境中Cr(Ⅵ)、Hg(Ⅱ)等重金属及卤代烃、硝基芳香化合物等持久性有机污染物降解转化.综述了DOM电子转移能力机理、途径及可循环性,电子转移能力测定方法,以及DOM电子转移能力的生态效应并展望研究方向.

水溶性有机质对土壤吸附菲的影响

研究了来源于稻草腐熟物的外源水溶性有机质(DOM)和土壤本身固有的内源DOM对有机碳含量不同的3种土壤吸附菲的影响.结果表明,不同处理土壤对菲的吸附曲线均为线性,其吸附系数(K_d)与土壤有机碳含量(f_oc)正相关.去除内源DOM后,黄棕壤、红粘田和黑土吸附菲的K_d值增加了7.08%～21.4%,增加量(ΔK_d)和增加幅度与f_oc正相关,表明土壤中存在的内源DOM抑制土壤对菲的吸附.而外源DOM对土壤吸附菲的影响与其浓度密切相关.在供试浓度范围(0～106 mg DOC·L^-1)内,红粘田吸附菲的K_d值随加入外源DOM浓度的提高先增大后减小.外源DOM浓度为28 mg DOC·L^-1时,红粘田吸附菲的K_d值增加了19.5%;而当外源DOM浓度≥52 mg DOC·L^-1时,则明显抑制菲的吸附.内源和外源DOM对土壤吸附菲的影响,主要与DOM和菲在溶液中的结合作用、在土壤中的累积吸附效应等有关.

泥炭沼泽湿地土壤分解过程中可溶性有机质氧化还原能力变化特征及其影响机制

泥炭沼泽湿地土壤(泥炭土)分解过程是控制泥炭土碳排放的关键过程,其中可溶性有机质(DOM)是泥炭分解过程的主要输出物。DOM富含具有氧化还原活性的官能团,其中酚基具有抗氧化性质,是DOM氧化还原活性的重要组成部分,对驱动有氧和缺氧条件下的氧化还原过程意义重大。同时,酚基也可抑制泥炭的氧化降解,在泥炭土分解过程中起着重要作用。目前,关于泥炭分解过程中DOM氧化还原能力影响机制的相关研究较少。利用创新介导电化学方法、激发—发射荧光矩阵光谱法(EEM),直接定量、定性评估DOM氧化还原变化程度,进而探讨(1)取自两个泥炭样地(OS/LB)的地表水、地下水、孔隙水样品中DOM的氧化还原性能;(2)来自泥炭样地OS的泥炭孔隙水剖面中DOM的氧化还原能力变化规律以及与泥炭分解的重要指标间的关系(如C/N和δ¹³C_DOC)。结果表明:选取电子转移能力(ETC)作为表征DOM氧化还原能力的指标,不同来源DOM的ETC值主要在2—4 mmole^-/gC之间;在泥炭土中DOM的ETC值与醌基和酚基的光谱性质参数存在强相关,这些基团对DOM氧...

Effect of Dicranopteris dichotoma on spectroscopic characteristic of dissolved organic matter in red soil erosion area

Aims Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the most active component of organic matters in soils, and plays an important role in carbon cycles. It is a mixed organic compound with varying molecular sizes and weights. We aimed to explore the impacts of Dicranopteris dichotoma coverage on quantity and structure of DOM after vegetation restoration in severely eroded red soil region. Methods A typical sequence of vegetation restoration (Y0, without ecological restoration; Y13, ecological restoration for 13 years; Y31, ecological restoration for 31 years) was selected as the research object in Hetian Town, Changting County, Fujian Province, China. At each experimental site, soils were subject to three treatments—NRd, not removed D. dichotoma; Rd, removed D. dichotoma; and CK, control, and the effects of D. dichotoma on the spectral characteristics of DOM were evaluated.Important findings The results indicated that the quantity of soil DOC under NRd treatment of the Y0, Y13 and Y31 was 7.61, 4.83, and 5.47 times higher than their CK treatment, respectively. The Rd treatment had significantly lower DOC than that under NRd treatments, and it was 1.84, 4.12, and 4.73 times higher than their CK treatments, respectively. Thus the D. dichotoma had exerted significant effects on the quantity of soil DOM. The Aromaticity index (AI), emission fluorescence spectrum humification index (HIX_em) and synchronous fluorescence spectrum humification index (HIX_syn) of DOM under the NRd treatment were significantly higher than those of the CK treatments in Y13 and Y31, respectively. However, the ratio of ultraviolet-visible light absorption photometric quantity at 250 nm wavelength to ultraviolet-visible light absorption photometric quantity at 365 nm wavelength (E₂:E₃) had an opposite trend. It showed that the DOM structure in soils covered by D. dichotoma contained more aromatic nucleus and had higher aromaticity and humification, and DOM molecular was larger. In addition, the AI and humification index (HIX) of DOM under the Rd treatment was significantly decreased compared with the NRd treatment. Similar results were observed by analysis of emission and synchronous fluorescence spectrum, and by the Fourier infrared transmission spectrum analysis. These results suggest that D. dichotoma had positive impacts on the complexity of DOM structure, but it was a long and slow process. The DOM spectral analysis showed that the soil DOM covered by D. dichotoma had a stable and complex structure and was easily adsorbed by soil colloid. As a result, Dicranopteris dichotoma had a positive effect on the accumulation of soil organic carbon.

Variability and transport of suspended sediment,particulate and dissolved organic carbon in the tidal freshwater Hudson River

Measurements of suspended matter, particulate organic carbon and dissolved organic carbon were made over a three year period at stations spanning 150 km of the tidal freshwater Hudson River. Suspended matter concentrations varied from year-to-year and were not related to freshwater discharge. The increase in suspended matter with depth in vertical profiles suggests that, during medium to low flow conditions, resuspension of bottom sediments was as important a source of sediment as loadings from tributaries. Particulate organic carbon showed significant variability among stations, and both autochthonous primary production and detrital organic matter are contributing to POC standing stocks. Dissolved organic carbon represented over half of the total organic carbon in the water column and showed little variation among stations.Examining downstream changes in transport showed that there was significant production of both suspended matter and POC within the study reach during the ice-free season. Tributary loadings within the study reach do not appear to be the cause of these increases in downstream transport. Dissolved organic carbon behaved conservatively in that there was no evidence for net production or net consumption within the river.The spatial/temporal patterns and analyses of transport suggest that suspended matter and POC, but not DOC, were controlled to a significant extent by processes occurring within the river and were not simply related to loadings from outside.
