Bacterial Community Structure in a Semi-Arid Haloalkaline Soil Using Culture Independent Method

Bacterial community structures in two physicochemically different soils from the coastal region of Gujarat, India were investigated using PCR, 16S rRNA gene clone libraries and sequencing methods. The aim of the study was to determine the diversity of bacterial communities inhabiting haloalkaline soil from a semi-arid coastal region. The phylogenetic diversity of bacteria in a haloalkaline soil (EC 20 dS/m; pH 9.5) was compared with a normal soil (EC 0.93 dS/m; pH 7.2). Clones representing phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria and Planctomycetes were found in both soils. Cyanobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, OP10 and Bacteria incertae sedis were detected in normal soil whereas Nitrospira was found only in haloalkaline soil. The dominant phylum in the haloalkaline soil was Bacteroidetes followed by Proteobacteria whereas normal soil was dominated by Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. About 82% of the sequences from the haloalkaline library were related to those previously retrieved from various saline, alkaline and oil-natural gas field ecosystems whereas 50% of the sequences from normal soil resembled sequences of bacteria retrieved from agriculture-related habitats viz. agriculture fields, rhizosphere and grasslands. One third of the total sequences from both soil samples showed low BLAST identities (<95%) suggesting that these soils may harbor unique, novel taxa. Further, the correlation analysis revealed negative correlations of Shannon diversity indices and species evenness with salinity (EC) and pH but positive correlations with total carbon and total nitrogen contents of the soil samples. The haloalkaline soil exhibited less bacterial diversity and communities were significantly different from those of normal soil. In this study, the haloalkaline soil from a semi-arid region supports oligotrophic microbes.

Bacterial Diversity and Community Structure in High Arsenic Aquifers in Hetao Plain of Inner Mongolia,China

The bacterial diversity and community structure of high arsenic (As) aquifers was investigated using an integrated approach adopting both geochemistry and molecular biology (polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and 16S rRNA gene clone library analyses). Nine borehole sediments and one groundwater sample from the living place of a villager (affected by arseniasis) and 12 sediments from a control borehole in Hetao Plain were investigated. The As concentrations ranged from 33.6 to 77.6 mg/kg in high As borehole sediments and 1.5 to 5.8 mg/kg in those samples from the control. The As concentration in the groundwater was 744.8 μg/L. Ratios between As(III) and total As in high As sediments increased gradually with depth and ranged from 0.02 to 0.34. Similarly, the Fe(II)/total Fe presented the same increasing trend with depth. The correlation between TOC contents and total As was positive. High concentrations of total As, S, Fe and TOC were found in clay and low in sand samples. Phylogenetic analysis showed significantly different bacterial communities among high As sediments, control sediments and the high As groundwater. Both DGGE and 16S rRNA gene clone library results showed that the high As sediments were dominated by Thiobacillus, Pseudomonas, Brevundimonas, and Hydrogenophaga, with Thiobacillus being distinctly dominant (63.5%). Whereas the low As sediments were dominated by some other genera including Psychrobacter, Massilia and Desulfotalea. The bacterial populations in the high As groundwater mainly included Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and Aquabacterium. These results improve our understanding of the bacterial diversity in high As aquifers in Hetao Plain and suggest how specific bacterial populations help mediate the mobilization of As into high As groundwaters.     

Waste Rock Biogeochemistry in a Permafrost Environment: Examination of a Cover Design for a Low-Sulfide,Granitic Waste Rock

At the Diavik Waste Rock Project's mine-research site, the microbial colonization and oxidation of waste rock sulfide minerals are attenuated by the extreme freeze-thaw cycle of a permafrost environment. The closure design for the waste rock stockpile consists of a low-sulfide waste rock and low-permeability till, covering a relatively higher sulfide waste rock. This design was examined at the mine site through construction of experimental waste rock piles and active zone lysimeters with and without the till cover. Leachate from these experiments indicates variable pH and SO₄ concentrations that correlate with sulfide content and the thermal moderating influence of the till cover. The till initially provided a moderated environment for the production of acid, growth of acidophilic Fe- and S-oxidizing bacteria, and enhanced weathering until wet up and freezing of the till and underlying waste rock as a permafrost. Greater sulfide oxidation was observed above the till cover because of greater exposure to the annual freeze-thaw cycle. An examination of the bacterial communities at the genus level indicates the prevalence of Pseudomonas, Rhodanobacter, Sideroxydans, and Thiobacillus in the waste rock. Pseudomonas spp. were dominant in the drier and more extreme temperature environment above the till cover, while Thiobacillus spp. were dominant in the more sulfide-rich, wetter/frozen environment below the till. A decreasing trend in Thiobacillus spp. from the exterior to the interior and an opposing trend in Acidithiobacillus spp. suggest greater acid generation deeper in the waste rock further from the extreme temperature variation of the tundra climate. The presence of the till cover moderated temperature variations, enhanced the initial rate of sulfide oxidation, and allowed for greater microbial diversity, but the freezing of the till cover and underlying waste rock drastically reduced sulfide oxidation and the generation of acid rock drainage. These results highlight the importance of temperature on microbially catalyzed acid production and our ability to use the extreme temperatures of the tundra climate to minimize potential environmental effects from mining through formation of waste rock permafrost.

盐胁迫对花生种子际细菌菌群结构的调控

盐胁迫影响种子萌发和植株形态建成,提高盐胁迫下花生种子萌发速率和成苗健苗率是盐碱地花生高产高效栽培的重要环节之一,花生种子际土壤细菌菌群结构与种子萌发关系密切。为揭示盐胁迫对花生种子际微生物菌群结构的影响,以耐盐花生品种（花育25号,HY25）和盐敏感花生品种（花育20号,HY20）为试验材料,采用盆栽实验和高通量测序技术,研究不同耐盐性品种种子萌发吸胀吸水阶段种子际细菌菌群结构的变化。结果表明,种子际土壤细菌群落以变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）、放线菌门（Actinobacteria）、拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）及芽单胞菌门（Gemmatimonadetes）等为优势菌门,盐胁迫处理可以不同程度的提高厚壁菌门和放线菌门的相对丰度。在属水平上,盐胁迫可以增加有益菌芽胞杆菌属（Bacillus）的相对丰度,增强盐胁迫下种子存活能力,提高萌发率。细菌功能预测结果显示,信号转导机制、免疫系统和防御机制等相关功能在盐胁迫处理后明显增强,可能是促进花生萌发并增强花生胁迫应答的重要原因之一。种子际优势菌群的鉴定及机理分析可为通过改良种子际土壤微生物环境,提高花生耐盐性和出苗健苗率提供重要的借鉴意义,同时为开发利用盐碱地提供参考。     

Bacterial Community Structure and Function Shift in Rhizosphere Soil of Tobacco Plants Infected by Meloidogyne incognita

Root-knot nematode disease is a widespread and catastrophic disease of tobacco. However, little is known about the relationship between rhizosphere bacterial community and root-knot nematode disease. This study used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and PICRUSt to assess bacterial community structure and function changes in rhizosphere soil from Meloidogyne incognita-infected tobacco plants. We studied the rhizosphere bacterial community structure of M. incognita-infected and uninfected tobacco plants through a paired comparison design in two regions of tobacco planting area, Yuxi and Jiuxiang of Yunnan Province, southwest China. According to the findings, M. incognita infection can alter the bacterial population in the soil. Uninfested soil has more operational taxonomic unit numbers and richness than infested soil. Principal Coordinate Analysis revealed clear separations between bacterial communities from infested and uninfested soil, indicating that different infection conditions resulted in significantly different bacterial community structures in soils. Firmicutes was prevalent in infested soil, but Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria were prevalent in uninfested soil. Sphingomonas, Streptomyces, and Bradyrhizobium were the dominant bacteria genera, and their abundance were higher in infested soil. By PICRUSt analysis, some metabolism-related functions and signal transduction functions of the rhizosphere bacterial community in the M. incognita infection-tobacco plants had a higher relative abundance than those uninfected. As a result, rhizosphere soils from tobacco plants infected with M. incognita showed considerable bacterial community structure and function alterations.     

Influence of Long Term Irrigation with Pulp and Paper Mill Effluent on the Bacterial Community Structure and Catabolic Function in Soil

Microbial communities play a vital role in maintaining soil health. A multiphasic approach to assess the effect of pulp and paper mill effluent on both the structure and function of microbial soil communities is taken. Bacterial communities from agricultural soils irrigated with pulp and paper mill effluent were compared to communities form soils irrigated with well water. Samples were taken from fields in the state of Uttarakhand, India, where pulp and paper mill effluent has been used for irrigation for over 25 years. Comparisons of bacterial community structure were conducted using sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene from both isolates and clone libraries attained from the soil. Community-level physiological profiling was used to characterize the functional diversity and catabolic profile of the bacterial communities. The multiphasic approach using both physiological and molecular techniques proved to be a powerful tool in evaluating the soil bacterial community population and population differences therein. A significant and consistent difference in the population structure and function was found for the bacterial communities from soil irrigated with effluent in comparison to fields irrigated with well water. The diversity index parameters indicated that the microbial community in pulp and paper mill effluent irrigated fields were more diverse in both structure and function. This suggests that the pulp and paper mill effluent is not having a negative effect on the soil microbial community, but in fact may have a positive influence. In terms of soil health, this finding supports the continued use of pulp and paper mill effluent for irrigation. This is however only one aspect of soil health which was evaluated. Further studies on soil resistance and robustness could be undertaken to holistically evaluate soil health in this situation.

Effects of Environmental Factors on Anammox Bacterial Community Structure in Sediments of a Freshwater Aquaculture Farm,Yangcheng Lake

Previous studies have reported wide distribution of anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) bacteria in various ecosystems. However, little is known about the distribution of anammox bacteria under varying environmental conditions in intensive aquaculture systems. In Yangcheng Lake, a famous crab farm situated in the Yangtze River Delta, sediment samples were collected in October (feeding period) and January (nonfeeding period) to analyze the distribution and diversity of anammox bacteria and their relationships with environmental factors. Based on the functional biomarker of Anammox bacteria, hzo gene, anammox bacterial clone libraries were constructed and their abundances were determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR). The Anammox bacteria were detected in the lake with the abundances ranging from 0.70 × 10⁵ to 6.05 × 10⁵ copies per gram of sediment. Sequences from eight clone libraries yielded seven unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs), distantly related to the Candidatus Jettenia genera with a similarity of about 91%. The Anammox bacterial community structures, diversities and abundances varied spatiotemporally with environmental conditions. In October, the level of the nitrogen compounds, the diversity, evenness and abundance of Anammox bacteria were higher than in January. The predominant OTU of samples changed from HZO-OTU-1 (34.25%) in January to HZO-OTU-2 (28.90%) in October. Moreover, the site (SW) nearing to sewage inlet was lack of HZO-OTU-7 in January. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that the pore water NO₂^? concentration, ammonium to nitrogen oxides ratio (NH₄⁺/NO_x^?) and total organic carbon to total nitrogen ratio (TOC/TN) contributed most to Anammox bacterial community structures variances. Pearson correlations analysis revealed that the Anammox bacteria abundance had positive co-relationships with TN, NH₄⁺, NO₃^? concentrations, and negative correlation with TOC/TN in porewater.

Influence of Feed Components on Symbiotic Bacterial Community Structure in the Gut of the Wood-Feeding Higher Termite Nasutitermes takasagoensis

The influence of carbon sources on bacterial community structure in the gut of the wood-feeding higher termite Nasutitermes takasagoensis was investigated. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses revealed that the bacterial community structure changed markedly depending on feed components at the phylum level. Spirochaetes was predominant in the clone libraries from wood- and wood powder-fed termites, whereas Bacteroidetes was the largest group in the libraries from xylan-, cellobiose-, and glucose-fed termites, and Firmicutes was predominant in the library from xylose-fed termites. In addition, clones belonging to the phylum Termite Group I (TG1) were found in the library from xylose-fed termites. Our results indicate that the symbiotic relationship between termite and gut microorganisms is not very strong or stable over a short time, and that termite gut microbial community structures vary depending on components of the feeds.     

纳米Fe3O4对生菜生长及土壤细菌群落结构的影响

纳米Fe₃O₄的广泛应用增加了其暴露到农田环境的可能性,因此亟待研究纳米Fe₃O₄对农业生态环境的影响.本研究采用盆栽试验方式,研究不同浓度纳米Fe₃O₄颗粒(1、10、100 mg·kg^-1)对生菜生长及土壤细菌群落的影响,并与相应浓度的普通Fe₃O₄处理进行对比.通过测定植物光合速率常数、植株Fe含量来评价植物生长;采用高通量测序技术研究土壤细菌群落结构及组成.结果表明: 不同浓度纳米Fe₃O₄的影响不同.低浓度纳米Fe₃O₄能提高植物生物量,增强植物叶片光合速率,增加土壤中黄单胞菌目的相对丰度,降低蓝细菌、鞘脂杆菌纲的相对丰度,但对群落多样性指数影响不显著.高浓度纳米Fe₃O₄抑制作物生长,提高植株中Fe积累及土壤电导率,降低细菌群落系统发育多样性,降低黄单胞菌目、鞘脂杆菌纲相对丰度,增加蓝细菌相对丰度.此外,一些土壤功能微生物对纳米Fe₃O₄及普通Fe₃O₄处理的响应也存在差异,说明不同粒径及浓度的Fe₃O₄均会对土壤微生物群落产生影响,并可能影响地上部分植物性状.因此,在评估纳米颗粒的生物学效应时需较多关注土壤微生物.

Influence of carbon source and inoculum type on anaerobic biomass adhesion on polyurethane foam in reactors fed with acid mine drainage

This paper analyzes the influence of carbon source and inoculum origin on the dynamics of biomass adhesion to an inert support in anaerobic reactors fed with acid mine drainage. Formic acid, lactic acid and ethanol were used as carbon sources. Two different inocula were evaluated: one taken from an UASB reactor and other from the sediment of a uranium mine. The values of average colonization rates and the maximum biomass concentration (C_max) were inversely proportional to the number of carbon atoms in each substrate. The highest C_max value (0.35 g TVS g⁻¹ foam) was observed with formic acid and anaerobic sludge as inoculum. Maximum colonization rates (v_max) were strongly influenced by the type of inoculum when ethanol and lactic acid were used. For both carbon sources, the use of mine sediment as inoculum resulted in a v_max of 0.013 g TVS g⁻¹ foam day⁻¹, whereas 0.024 g TVS g⁻¹ foam day⁻¹ was achieved with anaerobic sludge.

Bacterial and Archaeal Community Structure in the Surface Diatom Sediments of Deep Freshwater Lake Baikal (Eastern Siberia)

Diatom sediment records of large lakes can be used to decipher the history of ancient phytoplankton. The upper layer of the sediment is an important area of remineralization of the sedimenting phytoplankton biomass. It hosts a bacterial community different from those of both the water column and deeper sediment layers. In this work, we analyzed the structure and diversity of the communities of Bacteria and Archaea in the surface sediment core containing valves of diatoms, the major producers in Lake Baikal. Pyrosequencing of the bacterial V3–V4 region of the 16 S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and archaeal V1–V3 16 S rRNA gene regions yielded 29,168 and 36,997 reads, respectively. In total, we have identified 33 bacterial phyla; uncultured Actinobacteria were the most abundant in the upper layers, while lower sediment was dominated by Firmicutes and Alphaproteobacteria. The composition of the archaeal community changed with depth, but was generally dominated by Crenarchaeota from the classes Marine Group I and Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotic Group, as well as Euryarchaeota from the class Thermoplasmata. These dominant bacterial and archaeal taxa are presumed to participate in the destruction of buried organic matter, which eventually leads to degradation of the diatom valves.     

阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落谱系结构及其影响因子

为探究阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落的构建机制,该研究选取净亲缘关系指数(NRI)作为谱系结构指数,在对阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落野外调查的基础上,以群落物种组成为基础数据,计算各样地群落的NRI,并分析NRI在经纬度梯度上的变化趋势及其与土壤因子和水热因子的关系。结果表明:(1)阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落谱系结构在阿拉善高原东南部以发散状态为主,在阿拉善高原西部和北部地区以聚集状态为主。(2)阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落的NRI随经度的升高而减小,随纬度的升高而增大。(3)阿拉善荒漠土壤质地、土壤容重、土壤pH值和土壤有机碳含量与其群落谱系结构均无显著相关性;在降水因子和温度因子中,与群落谱系结构相关系数最大的分别为年降水量和年温度变化范围(最暖月最高温与最冷月最低温的差值),其中:年降水量与NRI呈显著负相关关系,年温度变化范围与NRI呈显著正相关关系,且最暖月最高温和最冷月最低温与NRI均有显著相关性,推测年温度变化范围对阿拉善灌丛群落谱系结构的影响是通过最暖月最高温和最冷月最低温起作用的。研究发现,阿拉善高原东南部区域的荒漠灌丛群落构成主要受竞争排斥的作用,其西部和北部地区的群落构成主要受环境过滤的影响;阿拉善荒漠灌丛群落的谱系结构主要受年降水量和极端温度的影响。
