The methanogen community in biogas reactor running on cattle dung was investigated in two different seasons; summer (April, 36 °C) and winter (December, 24 °C), in the year 2004 by a culture-independent approach. Community structure was determined by phylogenetic analyses of 343 and 278 mcrA clones belonging to summer and winter month libraries, respectively. In summer month’s library, 41.7% clones were affiliated to Methanomicrobiales, 30% to Methanosarcinales, 19% to Methanobacteriales, 5% to Methanococcales and a total of 4.3% clones belonged to unclassified euryarchaeotal lineages. In winter month’s library, Methanomicrobiales encompassed 98.6% clones, and Methanobacteriales included 1.4% of total clone diversity. Biogas plant performance data collected during the winter month indicated significant reduction in daily biogas produced as compared to summer month because of lowering in ambient temperature and associated shift in microbial community. Results from this molecular study showed the existence of highly diverse and complex methanogens communities present in biogas plant. 相似文献

Methanotrophic bacteria play a crucial role in regulating the emission of CH4 from rice fields into the atmosphere. We investigated the CH4 oxidation activity together with the diversity of methanotrophic bacteria in ten rice field soils from different geographic locations. Upon incubation of aerated soil slurries under 7% CH4, rates of CH4 oxidation increased after a lag phase of 1-4 days and reached values of 3-10 micromol d(-1) g-dw(-1) soil. The methanotrophic community was assayed by retrieval of the pmoA gene which encodes the a subunit of the particulate methane monooxygenase. After extraction of DNA from actively CH4-oxidizing soil samples and PCR-amplification of the pmoA, the community was analyzed by Denaturant Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP). DGGE bands were excised, the pmoA re-amplified, sequenced and the encoded amino acid sequence comparatively analyzed by phylogenetic treeing. The analyses allowed the detection of pmoA sequences related to the following methanotrophic genera: the type-I methanotrophs Methylobacter, Methylomicrobium, Methylococcus and Methylocaldum, and the type-II methanotrophs Methylocystis and Methylosinus. T-RFLP analysis detected a similar diversity, but type-II pmoA more frequently than DGGE. All soils but one contained type-II in addition to type-I methanotrophs. Type-I Methylomonas was not detected at all. Different combinations of methanotrophic genera were detected in the different soils. However, there was no obvious geographic pattern of the distribution of methanotrophs. 相似文献

The scope of this research work was to investigate biogas production and purification by a two-step bench-scale biological system, consisting of fed-batch pulse-feeding anaerobic digestion of mixed sludge, followed by methane enrichment of biogas by the use of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis. The composition of biogas was nearly constant, and methane and carbon dioxide percentages ranged between 70.5–76.0% and 13.2–19.5%, respectively. Biogas yield reached a maximum value (about 0.4 m3biogas/kgCODi) at 50 days-retention time and then gradually decreased with a decrease in the retention time. Biogas CO2 was then used as a carbon source for A. platensis cultivation either under batch or fed-batch conditions. The mean cell productivity of fed-batch cultivation was about 15% higher than that observed during the last batch phase (0.035 ± 0.006 gDM/L/d), likely due to the occurrence of some shading effect under batch growth conditions. The data of carbon dioxide removal from biogas revealed the existence of a linear relationship between the rates of A. platensis growth and carbon dioxide removal from biogas and allowed calculating carbon utilization efficiency for biomass production of almost 95%. 相似文献

Three stable methane-oxidizing enrichment cultures, SB26, SB31, and SB31A, were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and by serological and molecular techniques. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of both type I and type II methanotrophs in SB31 and SB31A enrichments; only type II methanotrophs were found in SB26 enrichment. Methylosinus trichosporium was detected in all three enrichments by the application of species-specific antibodies. Additionally, Methylocystis echinoides was found in SB26 culture; Methylococcus capsulatus, in SB31 and SB31A; and Methylomonas methanica, in SB31. The analysis with pmoA and nifH gene sequences as phylogenetic markers revealed the presence of Methylosinus/Methylocystis group in all communities. Moreover, the analysis of pmoA sequences revealed the presence of Methylomonas in SB31. Methylocella was detected in SB31 and SB31A enrichments only by nifH analysis. It was concluded that the simultaneous application of different approaches reveals more reliable information on the diversity of methanotrophs. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of pasteurisation, as set by the European regulation EC 1774/2002, on selected pathogens and indicator organisms. Unpasteurised substrate (biowaste), including animal by-products from a full-scale biogas plant was heat treated under laboratory conditions at 70 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 30 min and 60 min. Heat treatment at 55 degrees C for 60 min was not sufficient to achieve a hygienically acceptable product. Heat treatment at 70 degrees C for 30 min and 60 min was effective in reducing pathogenic bacteria, Ascaris suum eggs, Swine vesicular disease virus and indicator organisms. However, this level of pasteurisation will still not reduce the quantity of Clostridia spores, or completely inactivate heat-resistant viruses such as Porcine parvovirus or Salmonella phage 28B. The results still give cause for some concern regarding the use of digested residue from biogasplants in agriculture. 相似文献

The present study, based on sequences of cpDNA (trnL-F & psbA-trnH) and nrDNA (ITS) and morphology, examined the evolutionary relationships in Blumea and its position among related genera. The results confirmed that the closest relatives of Blumea are Caesulia, Duhaldea and Pentanema p.p., and showed that the monotypic genera Blumeopsis and Merrittia are nested within Blumea. In Blumea s.l., two major, well-supported clades were recognised and a single species, the widespread Blumea balsamifera, that could not be placed with certainty relative to the two main clades. The two main clades differ in habit, ecology and
distribution. The Blumea densiflora clade contains shrubs and subshrubs of evergreen forests, distributed from continental Asia to New Guinea and Polynesia,
whereas the Blumea lacera clade is a widespread paleotropical group that comprises mostly annual, weedy herbs of open forests and fields. 相似文献

为了研究人工湿地处理中碳/氮水平的废水时植物种类及多样性对系统甲烷释放及功能基因丰度的影响,我们构建了实验尺度的人工湿地微宇宙实验系统。选取千屈菜(Lythrum salicaria L.)和海寿花(Pontederia cordata L.)2种人工湿地常用、景观效果好的植物,在系统中配置了单种处理和两物种混种处理。结果表明:千屈菜与海寿花混种系统的甲烷释放强度(8.78 mg CH_4 m~(-2) d~(-1))高于两物种单种系统的平均值(6.97 mg CH_4 m~(-2) d~(-1))(P0.001),同甲烷释放一样,混种系统的mcrA基因绝对丰度(977541.6 copies/g dw soil)也高于两物种单种系统的平均值(585146.8 copies/g dw soil),但混种系统的pmoA基因绝对丰度(326956.6 copies/g dw soil)低于两物种单种系统的平均值(1043616.0 copies/g dw soil)(P0.001)。此外,混种系统的微生物量、植物生物量高于两物种单种系统的平均值(P0.01),但出水铵态氮浓度低于两物种单种系统的平均值(P0.05),出水总有机碳浓度和硝态氮浓度在单混种系统间无显著差异(P0.05)。千屈菜单种系统和海寿花单种系统间的甲烷释放强度、pmoA基因绝对丰度、微生物量、植物生物量和出水铵态氮浓度存在显著差异(P0.05),但mcrA基因绝对丰度、出水总有机碳和硝态氮浓度无显著差异(P0.05)。为了达到人工湿地的高净化效率,需要将千屈菜与海寿花混合种植,但混合种植强化甲烷释放。通过植物种类和丰富度对各指标变异的解释度(ω~2)分析发现,植物种类对甲烷释放、pmoA基因绝对丰度、出水铵态氮的影响大于植物丰富度,但对mcrA基因绝对丰度的影响小于植物丰富度。 相似文献

A molecular phylogeny of the wild onions (Allium; Alliaceae) with a focus on the western North American center of diversity 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS and ETS) sequences from 39 native Californian (USA) Allium species and congeners were combined with 154 ITS sequences available on GenBank to develop a global Allium phylogeny with the simultaneous goals of investigating the evolutionary history (monophyly) of Allium in the Californian center of diversity and exploring patterns of adaptation to serpentine soils. Phylogenies constructed with ITS alone or ITS in combination with ETS provided sufficient resolution for investigating evolutionary relationships among species. The ITS region alone was sufficient to resolve the deeper relationships in North American species. Addition of a second marker (ETS) further supports the phylogenetic placements of the North American species and adds resolution within subgenus Amerallium, a clade containing many Californian endemics. Within the global phylogeny, the native North American species were found to be monophyletic, with the exception of Allium tricoccum and Allium schoenoprasum. All native Californian species included in the analysis fell into a monophyletic subgenus Amerallium section Lophioprason, although endemic Californian species were not monophyletic due to the inclusion of species with ranges extending beyond the California Floristic Province. The molecular phylogeny strongly supports previous morphology-based taxonomic groupings. Based on our results, serpentine adaptation appears to have occurred multiple times within section Lophioprason, while the ancestor of the Californian center of diversity may not have been serpentine-adapted. 相似文献

The third-stage (L3) larvae of Anisakis, which are the etiological agents of human anisakiasis, have been categorized morphologically into Anisakis Type I larvae and Anisakis Type II larvae. Genetic analysis has allowed easy identification of these larvae: Anisakis Type I larvae include the species Anisakis simplex sensu stricto, Anisakis pegreffii, Anisakis simplex C, Anisakis typica, Anisakis ziphidarum, and Anisakis nascettii, whereas Anisakis Type II larvae include the species Anisakis physeteris, Anisakis brevispiculata, and Anisakis paggiae. Since human consumption of raw fish and squid is common in Japan, we investigated Anisakis L3 larvae in 44 specimens of Beryx splendens from Japanese waters. A total of 730 Anisakis L3 larvae collected from B. splendens were divided morphologically into 4 types: Type I, Type II, and 2 other types that were similar to Anisakis Type III and Type IV described by Shiraki (1974). Anisakis Type II, Type III, and Type IV larvae all had a short ventriculus, but their tails were morphologically different. In addition, data from genetic analysis indicated that Anisakis Type II, Type III, and Type IV larvae could be identified as A. physeteris, A. brevispiculata, and A. paggiae, respectively. Therefore, A. physeteris, A. brevispiculata, and A. paggiae can be readily differentiated not only by genetic analysis but also by morphological characteristics of L3 larvae. 相似文献

Cryptoperidiniopsis brodyi is a common heterotrophic dinoflagellate known to often co-occur with Pfiesteria species in eastern U.S. estuaries. In this study, C. brodyi from Australia and Pfiesteria piscicida from ballast water from Indonesia were characterized by morphological and genetic analyses. Two P. piscicida strains originating from ballast water samples showed little genetic differences compared to P. piscicida from other countries and their morphology was identical. This finding indicates a potential inflow of P. piscicida into Australian estuaries via ballast water. Nine cultures of C. brodyi were established from Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia. All C. brodyi cultures exhibited identical thecal plate patterns and could not be discriminated from other non-Australian strains. In contrast, two distinct genotypes could be identified by rDNA sequence analyses which were distinct from the U.S. genotype of C. brodyi. A previous survey using PCR-based methods reported a wide distribution of Pfiesteria shumwayae in Australia. However, the present study demonstrated that SSU rDNA-based P. shumwayae-specific primers produce false-positive PCR reactions with Australian C. brodyi. These results suggest that genetic variants of C. brodyi are widely distributed in Australia and Australian genotypes of C. brodyi had previously been misidentified as P. shumwayae. This finding also indicates that previous Australian distribution studies of P. shumwayae using SSU rDNA-based primers are potentially erroneous and need to be revisited. 相似文献

The genus Reynoutria is represented by four taxa in the Czech Republic – R. japonica var. japonica and compacta, R. sachalinensis and R. × bohemica. Using isoenzyme analysis, we determined the degree of genotype variability in all taxa and compared clones of R. japonica var. japonica from the Czech Republic with those from Great Britain. While the rarely occurring tetraploid variety R. japonica var. compacta possesses low variability, the octoploid female clone of R. japonica var. japonica is genetically uniform in the 93 clones sampled and belongs to the same genotype that is present in the whole Europe. R. japonica var. japonica can be fertilized by the pollen of tetraploid R. sachalinensis and a hexaploid hybrid R. × bohemica is produced. In R. sachalinensis, 16 genotypes were found in the 50 clones sampled. R. × bohemica is genetically the most diverse taxon in the study area, with 33 genotypes recorded among 88 clones sampled. 相似文献

In order to assess the phylogenetic diversity of the endosymbiotic microbial community of the gills of marine bivalve Bathymodiolus azoricus, total DNA was extracted from the gills. The PCR fragments corresponding to the genes encoding 16S rRNA, ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (cbbL), and particulate methane monooxygenase (pmoA) were amplified, cloned, and sequenced. For the 16S rDNA genes, only one phylotype was revealed; it belonged to the cluster of thiotrophic mytilid’s symbionts within the Gammaproteobacteria. For the RuBisCO genes, two phylotypes were found, both belonging to Gammaproteobacteria. One of them was closely related to the previously known mytilid symbiont, the other, to a pogonophore symbiont, presumably a methanotrophic bacterium. One phylotype of particulate methane oxygenase genes was also revealed; this finding indicated the presence of a methanotrophic symbiont. Phylogenetic analysis of the pmoA placed this endosymbiont within the Gammaproteobacteria, in a cluster including the methanotrophic bacterial genus Methylobacter and other methanotrophic Bathymodiolus gill symbionts. These results provide evidence for the existence of two types of endosymbionts (thioautotrophic and methanotrophic) in the gills of B. azoricus and demonstrate that, apart from the phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes, parallel analysis of functional genes is essential. 相似文献

Celebrity with a neglected taxonomy: molecular systematics of the medicinal leech (genus Hirudo) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The medicinal leech is the most famous representative of the Hirudinea. It is one of few invertebrates widely used in medicine and as a scientific model object. It has recently been given considerable conservation effort. Despite all attention there is confusion regarding the taxonomic status of different morphological forms, with many different species described in the past, but only two generally accepted at present. The results of the phylogenetic analysis of a nuclear (ITS2+5.8S rRNA) and two mitochondrial gene sequences (12S rRNA, COI) suggest that the genus Hirudo is monophyletic. It consists, apart form the type Hirudo medicinalis and the East Asian Hirudo nipponia, of three other, neglected species. All of them have already been described either as species or morphological variety, and can readily be identified by their coloration pattern. The type species is in weakly supported sister relation with Hirudo sp. n. (described as variety orientalis) from Transcaucasia and Iran. Sister to them stands Hirudo verbana from southeastern Europe and Turkey, which is nowadays predominantly bred in leech farms and used as 'medicinal leech.' The North African Hirudo troctina is the sister taxon to this group of Western Eurasian species, whereas the basal split is between H. nipponia and the Western Palaearctic clade. 相似文献

Methane monooxygenase (MMO) is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of methane to methanol in methanotrophic bacteria. In addition, this enzyme complex oxidizes a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic compounds in a number of potentially useful biotransformations. In this study, we have used biochemical data obtained from purification and characterization of the soluble MMO from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath), to identify structural genes encoding this enzyme by oligonucleotide probing. The genes encoding the and subunits of MMO were found to be chromosomally located and were linked in this organism. We report here on the analysis of a recombinant plasmid containing 12 kilobases of Methylococcus DNA and provide the first evidence for the localization and linkage of genes encoding the methane monooxygenase enzyme complex. DNA sequence analysis suggests that the primary structures of the and subunit of MMO are completely novel and the complete sequence of these genes is presented. 相似文献

One group of mantellid frogs from Madagascar (subgenus Pandanusicola of Guibemantis) includes species that complete larval development in the water-filled leaf axils of rainforest plants. This group consists of six described species: G. albolineatus, G. bicalcaratus, G. flavobrunneus, G. liber, G. pulcher, and G. punctatus. We sequenced the 12S and 16S mitochondrial rRNA genes ( approximately 1.8 kb) from multiple specimens (35 total) of all six species to assess phylogenetic relationships within this group. All reconstructions strongly supported G. liber as part of the Pandanusicola clade, even though this species does not breed in plant leaf axils. This result confirms a striking reversal of reproductive specialization. However, all analyses also indicated that specimens assigned to G. liber include genetically distinct allopatric forms that do not form a monophyletic group. Most other taxa that were adequately sampled (G. bicalcaratus, G. flavobrunneus, and G. pulcher) likewise consist of several genetically distinct lineages that do not form monophyletic groups. These results suggest that many of the recognized species in this group are complexes of cryptic species. 相似文献

The methanogenic community in hydrothermally active sediments of Guaymas Basin (Gulf of California, Mexico) was analyzed by PCR amplification, cloning, and sequencing of methyl coenzyme M reductase (mcrA) and 16S rRNA genes. Members of the Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales dominated the mcrA and 16S rRNA clone libraries from the upper 15 cm of the sediments. Within the H2/CO2- and formate-utilizing family Methanomicrobiales, two mcrA and 16S rRNA lineages were closely affiliated with cultured species of the genera Methanoculleus and Methanocorpusculum. The most frequently recovered mcrA PCR amplicons within the Methanomicrobiales did not branch with any cultured genera. Within the nutritionally versatile family Methanosarcinales, one 16S rRNA amplicon and most of the mcrA PCR amplicons were affiliated with the obligately acetate utilizing species Methanosaeta concilii. The mcrA clone libraries also included phylotypes related to the methyl-disproportionating genus Methanococcoides. However, two mcrA and two 16S rRNA lineages within the Methanosarcinales were unrelated to any cultured genus. Overall, the clone libraries indicate a diversified methanogen community that uses H2/CO2, formate, acetate, and methylated substrates. Phylogenetic affiliations of mcrA and 16S rRNA clones with thermophilic and nonthermophilic cultured isolates indicate a mixed mesophilic and thermophilic methanogen community in the surficial Guaymas sediments. 相似文献

【目的】内蒙古岗更诺尔湖退化为碱地、草地情景下,研究好氧甲烷氧化过程及其微生物群落的变化规律。【方法】针对湖泊沉积物及其退化后形成的碱地、草地土壤,在不同初始甲烷浓度下培养,研究其甲烷氧化速率,通过实时荧光定量PCR、高通量测序技术分析甲烷氧化菌的群落构成及其变化规律。【结果】湖泊退化过程中,沉积物和碱地的土壤理化性质、甲烷氧化速率变化规律基本一致,但与草地土壤有显著差异。在微生物属水平,甲烷氧化菌Methylococcus的丰度显著增加,在沉积物、碱地和草地中的丰度分别为19.2%、48.8%和78.3%,而Crenothrix的丰度明显降低,依次为54.7%、32.1%、和13.9%。进一步室内模拟不同初始浓度下甲烷氧化过程,发现沉积物中Crenothrix和Methylocaldum的增幅最大;碱地土壤中Methylococcus和Methylomonas的增幅远高于其他甲烷氧化菌;而在草地土壤中,Crenothrix增加高达7.81%,增幅达196倍。这些显著增加的微生物可能在不同浓度甲烷氧化过程中发挥了重要作用。【结论】湖泊退化过程中,甲烷氧化潜力降低。沉积物中的甲烷氧化菌发生了显著分异,Methylococcus逐渐成为碱地和草地的优势微生物,而Crenothrix则逐渐成为弱势类群。然而,草地土壤氧化高浓度甲烷过程中,数量上占弱势的Crenothrix迅速变为优势类群,可能发挥了重要作用。 相似文献

We describe an episode of Leptotrichia trevisanii bacteraemia in a neutropenic hemato-oncology patient receiving chemotherapy for Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts-2 (RAEB-2). Although Leptotrichia spp. colonize the oral cavity and genitourinary tract, serious episodes of bacteraemia might occur in immunocompromised patients, particularly in those with severe neutropenia. Therefore, microbiologists should consider the possibility of Leptotrichia spp. septicemia in patients with blood cultures positive for gram negative bacilli, when routine microbiology tests fail to reveal a correct identification of the organism. 相似文献
