Gutless pogonophorans are generally thought to live in symbiosis with methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). We identified a 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) and a ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxlase/oxygenase (RuBisCO, E.C.4.1.1.39) gene that encode the form I large subunit (cbbL) from symbiont-bearing tissue of the pogonophoran Oligobrachia mashikoi. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence suggested that the pogonophoran endosymbiont belonged to the -subdivision of Proteobacteria. The endosymbiont was most closely related to an uncultured bacterium from a hydrocarbon seep, forming a unique clade adjacent to the known methanotrophic 16S rDNA cluster. The RuBisCO gene from the pogonophoran tissue was closely related to those of the chemoautotrophic genera Thiobacillus and Hydrogenovibrio. Presence of the RuBisCO gene suggested a methanotrophic symbiosis because some methanotrophic bacteria are known to be capable of autotrophy via the Calvin cycle. In contrast, particulate and soluble methane monooxygenase genes (pmoA and mmoX) and the methanol dehydrogenase gene (mxaF), which are indicators for methanotrophs or methylotrophs, were not detected by repeated trial of polymerase chain reaction. For 16S rRNA and RuBisCO genes, endosymbiotic localizations were confirmed by in situ hybridization. These results support the possibilities that the pogonophoran host has a novel endosymbiont which belongs to the -subdivision of Proteobacteria, and that the endosymbiont has the gene of the autotrophic enzyme RuBisCO. 相似文献

Molecular Characterization of a Deep-Sea Methanotrophic Mussel Symbiont that Carries a RuBisCO Gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In our previous investigation on the genes of 1,5-ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO; EC 4.1.1.39) in deep-sea
chemoautotrophic and methanotrophic endosymbioses, the gene encoding the large subunit of RuBisCO form I (cbbL) had been detected in the gill of a mussel belonging to the genus Bathymodiolus from a western Pacific back-arc hydrothermal vent. This study further examined the symbiont source of the RuBisCO cbbL gene along with the genes of 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rDNA) and particulate methane monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.25; pmoA) and probed for the presence of the ATP sulfurylase gene (EC 2.7.7.4; sopT). The 16S rDNA sequence analysis indicated that the mussel harbors a monospecific methanotrophic Gammaproteobacterium. This
was confirmed by amplification and sequencing of the methanotrophic pmoA, while thiotrophic sopT was not amplified from the same symbiotic genome DNA. Fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated simultaneous occurrence of the symbiont-specific 16S rDNA, cbbL and pmoA, but not sopT, in the mussel gill. This is the first molecular and visual evidence for a methanotrophic bacterial endosymbiont that bears
the RuBisCO cbbL gene relevant to autotrophic CO2 fixation. 相似文献

Lasiurus sindicus is a highly nutritive, drought-tolerant, perennial grass that is endemic to the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. Analysis
of 16S rRNA coding genes of the bacterial isolates enriched in nitrogen-free semisolid medium, from the surface-sterilized
roots of L. sindicus, showed predominance of Gram-negative over Gram-positive bacteria. According to comparative sequence analysis of 16S rDNA
sequence data, Gram-positive bacteria with low GC content (Staphylococcus warneri and Bacillus sp.) and high GC content (Micrococcus luteus, Microbacterium sp.) were identified. Gram-negative bacteria included Azospirillum sp., Rhizobium sp., Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Inquilinus limosus (α-proteobacteria); Ralstonia sp., Variovorax paradoxus, and Bordetella petrii (β-proteobacteria); and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes, Stenotrophomonas sp. (γ-proteobacteria). The occurrence of nifH sequences in Azospirillum sp., Rhizobium sp., and P. pseudoalcaligenes showed the possibility of supplying biologically fixed nitrogen by the root-associated diazotrophs to the host plant. 相似文献

Characterization of Viable Bacteria from Siberian Permafrost by 16S rDNA Sequencing 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Abstract
Viable bacteria were found in permafrost core samples from the Kolyma-Indigirka lowland of northeast Siberia. The samples
were obtained at different depths; the deepest was about 3 million years old. The average temperature of the permafrost is
−10°C. Twenty-nine bacterial isolates were characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, cell morphology,
Gram staining, endospore formation, and growth at 30°C. The majority of the bacterial isolates were rod shaped and grew well
at 30°C; but two of them did not grow at or above 28°C, and had optimum growth temperatures around 20°C. Thirty percent of
the isolates could form endospores. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolates fell into four categories: high-GC Gram-positive
bacteria, β-proteobacteria, γ-proteobacteria, and low-GC Gram-positive bacteria. Most high-GC Gram-positive bacteria and β-proteobacteria,
and all γ-proteobacteria, came from samples with an estimated age of 1.8–3.0 million years (Olyor suite). Most low-GC Gram-positive
bacteria came from samples with an estimated age of 5,000–8,000 years (Alas suite).

The phylogenetic diversity of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO, E.C. 4.1.1.39) large-subunit genes of deep-sea microorganisms was analyzed. Bulk genomic DNA was isolated from seven samples, including samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and various deep-sea habitats around Japan. The kinds of samples were hydrothermal vent water and chimney fragment; reducing sediments from a bathyal seep, a hadal seep, and a presumed seep; and symbiont-bearing tissues of the vent mussel, Bathymodiolus sp., and the seep vestimentiferan tubeworm, Lamellibrachia sp. The RuBisCO genes that encode both form I and form II large subunits (cbbL and cbbM) were amplified by PCR from the seven deep-sea sample DNA populations, cloned, and sequenced. From each sample, 50 cbbL clones and 50 cbbM clones, if amplified, were recovered and sequenced to group them into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). A total of 29 OTUs were recorded from the 300 total cbbL clones, and a total of 24 OTUs were recorded from the 250 total cbbM clones. All the current OTUs have the characteristic RuBisCO amino acid motif sequences that exist in other RuBisCOs. The recorded OTUs were related to different RuBisCO groups of proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, and eukarya. The diversity of the RuBisCO genes may be correlated with certain characteristics of the microbial habitats. The RuBisCO sequences from the symbiont-bearing tissues showed a phylogenetic relationship with those from the ambient bacteria. Also, the RuBisCO sequences of known species of thiobacilli and those from widely distributed marine habitats were closely related to each other. This suggests that the Thiobacillus-related RuBisCO may be distributed globally and contribute to the primary production in the deep sea. 相似文献

The RpoS sigma factor in proteobacteria regulates genes in stationary phase and in response to stress. Although of conserved
function, the RpoS regulon may have different gene composition across species due to high genomic diversity and to known environmental
conditions that select for RpoS mutants. In this study, the distribution of RpoS homologs in prokaryotes and the differential
dependence of regulon members on RpoS for expression in two γ-proteobacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were examined. Using a maximum-likelihood phylogeny and reciprocal best hits analysis, we show that the RpoS sigma factor
is conserved within γ-, β-, and δ-proteobacteria. Annotated RpoS of Borrelia and the enteric RpoS are postulated to have separate evolutionary origins. To determine the conservation of RpoS-dependent
gene expression across species, reciprocal best hits analysis was used to identify orthologs of the E. coli RpoS regulon in the RpoS regulon of P. aeruginosa. Of the 186 RpoS-dependent genes of E. coli, 50 proteins have an ortholog within the P. aeruginosa genome. Twelve genes of the 50 orthologs are RpoS-dependent in both species, and at least four genes are regulated by RpoS
in other γ-proteobacteria. Despite RpoS conservation in γ-, β-, and δ-proteobacteria, RpoS regulon composition is subject
to modification between species. Environmental selection for RpoS mutants likely contributes to the evolutionary divergence
and specialization of the RpoS regulon within different bacterial genomes. 相似文献

Ciliates represent a diversified group of protists known to establish symbioses with prokaryotic micro-organisms. They are mainly phagotrophs and symbiotic relationships with bacteria can give them an important advantage in chemosynthetic environments. The aim of this study is to describe the thiotrophic association that occurs between the peritrich ciliate Pseudovorticella sp. and potential sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Investigations at microscopic scale (LM, SEM, TEM) showed ectosymbiotic bacteria covering the surface of the body of Pseudovorticella sp. According to 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis, these ectosymbiotic bacteria belong to γ-proteobacteria and are phylogenetically close to the symbiont of the recently described Zoothamnium ignavum, which inhabits shallow-water wood falls. FISH experiments, using symbiont specific probes, clearly indicate that these ectosymbiotic bacteria are also ingested into food vacuoles. Electron lucent granules observed in TEM in the cytoplasm of the ectosymbiotic bacteria have been identified as sulfur granules by Raman microspectrometry analyses. Raman microspectrometry analyses confirmed the thiotrophic nature of this relationship already suggested by the results obtained by TEM and phylogeny. A complete sulfur map was then performed to investigate the sulfur distribution in the zooid. Results show that the relationship between this protist and its bacterial partner is a thiotrophic ectosymbiosis. 相似文献

Information about seasonal bacterial composition and diversity is of great value for exploitation of marine biological resources
and improvement of ecological environment. Here PCR-amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) of 16S rRNA
genes was used to evaluate seasonal bacterial diversity and community composition in Bohai Bay. A total of 24 bacterial communities
were sampled from seawater and sediment of three representative sites in a whole seasonal cycle: spring (April), summer (July),
autumn (October), and winter (January). Bacterial Genomic DNA was extracted and PCR-amplified to obtain 16S rDNA fragments
which were cloned to construct 24 16s rDNA libraries. Clones of each library were selected randomly for PCR–RFLP analysis
of rDNA fragments, and eventually 101 genotypes were identified by RFLP fingerprintings. These 101 genotypes were sequenced
and their respective phylotype was identified through the Blast tool of NCBI (similarity 96–100%) and phylogenetic analyses.
Among our phylotypes, 80.2% belonged to the genera α-Proteobacteria, β-proteobacteria,γ-Proteobacteria, δ-Proteobacteria,
ε-proteobacteria, Flavobacteria, Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroides, Verrucomicrobia, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Sequence
analyses revealed that 47.5% (48) of clone sequences were similar to those of uncultured marine bacteria in the environment.
In addition, bacterial diversity and composition clearly displayed seasonal variety. More genera were discovered in summer
than any other seasons, and some special species appeared only in specific season. 相似文献

In order to assess bacterial diversity within four surface sediment samples (0–5 cm) collected from the Pacific Arctic Ocean,
16S ribosomal DNA clone library analysis was performed. Near full length 16S rDNA sequences were obtained for 463 clones from
four libraries and 13 distinct major lineages of Bacteria were identified (α, β, γ, δ and ε-Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Planctomycetes, Spirochetes, and Verrucomicrobia). α, γ, and δ-Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria were common phylogenetic groups from all the sediments. The γ-Proteobacteria were the dominant
bacterial lineage, representing near or over 50% of the clones. Over 35% of γ-Proteobacteria clones of four clone library
were closely related to cultured bacterial isolates with similarity values ranging from 94 to 100%. The community composition
was different among sampling sites, which potentially was related to geochemical differences. 相似文献

Microbial Diversity in Sediments Collected from the Deepest Cold-Seep Area, the Japan Trench 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The Japan Trench land slope at a depth of 6,400 m is the deepest cold-seep environment with Calyptogena communities. Sediment samples from inside and beside the Calyptogena communities were collected, and the microbial diversity in the sediment samples was studied by molecular phylogenetic techniques.
From DNA extracted directly from the sediment samples, 16S rDNAs were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction method. The
sequences of the amplified 16S rDNAs selected by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis were determined and compared
with sequences in DNA databases. The results showed that 33 different bacterial 16S rDNA sequences from the two samples analyzed
fell into similar phylogenetic categories, the α-, γ-, δ-, and ɛ-subdivisions of Proteobacteria, Cytophaga, and gram-positive
bacteria; some of the 16S rDNA sequences were common to both samples. δ- and ɛ-Proteobacteria-related sequences were abundant
in both sediments. These sequences are mostly related to sulfate-reducing or sulfur-reducing bacteria and epibionts, respectively.
Eight different archaeal 16S rDNA sequences were cloned from the sediments. The majority of the archaeal 16S rDNA sequences
clustered in Crenarchaeota and showed high similarities to marine group I archaeal rDNA. A Methanococcoides burtonii–related sequence obtained from the sediment clustered in the Euryarchaeota indicating that M. burtonii–related strains in the area of Calyptogena communities may contribute to production of methane in this environment. From these results, we propose a possible model
of sulfur circulation within the microbial community and that of Calyptogena clams in the cold-seep environment.

Propionate was used as fuel to enrich an electrochemically-active microbial consortium in a microbial fuel cell, and the bacterial
consortium was analyzed by culture-independent methods including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the 16S
rDNA, and by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). MFCs fed with propionate produced a current of 4.88 ± 0.1 mA stably
on 100 mg propionate/l as COD within 3 weeks of the enrichment. When the MFCs were fed with H2-saturated fuel containing propionate, the current dropped to 3.82 ± 0.07 mA. The maximum current generated was up to 8.8 mA
when MFCs were fed with 200 mg propionate/l as COD. The DGGE of 16S rDNA showed that propionate-enriched MFCs have a different
bacterial population from that enriched with acetate and from the inoculum used for enrichment. The major member (42%) of
the consortium was an unidentified bacterium followed by γ, β, and δ-proteobacteria. 相似文献

Bacterial communities associated with decomposing rhizomes of Phragmites australis were investigated in Lake Fertő (Neusiedlersee, Hungary). Alkaliphilic and alkalitolerant strains were isolated on cellulose-containing
alkaline medium spread with dilutions of scrapings taken from the surface of the decaying plant material. Fifty-one strains
were grouped by numerical analysis based on physiological tests and BIOLOG sole carbon source utilization data. The strains
identified by 16S rDNA sequence comparisons included members of low G+C Gram positives (Marinibacillus marinus, Bacillus cereus, and Exiguobacterium aurantiacum), high G+C Gram positives (Nesterenkonia halobia and Dietzia natronolimnea), α-proteobacteria (Pannonibacter phragmitetus), and γ-proteobacteria (Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes and Halomonas venusta). Most of the strains were characterized by aerobic chemoorganotrophic respiratory metabolism and utilized several different
carbon sources, although no direct cellulolytic activity was observed. Results of the pH and salt tolerance tests revealed
optimuma in most cases at pH 11 and at the presence of 2.5–5% NaCl. These bacteria probably occupy niches in the aerobic,
alkaline, water-influenced environments on the decomposing reed surfaces. 相似文献

The biological oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds is a critically important process in global sulfur biogeochemistry. In
this study, we enriched from marine sediments under denitrifying conditions, chemolithotrophic sulfur oxidizers that could
oxidize a variety of reduced sulfur compounds: thiosulfate, tetrathionate, sulfide, and polysulfide. Two major phylotypes
of 16S rRNA gene (>99% identity in each phylotype) were detected in this enrichment culture. In order to characterize sulfide
oxidation, we sequenced and characterized one fosmid clone (43.6 kb) containing the group I sulfide-quinone reductase (sqr) gene. Interestingly, four putative rhodanese genes were found in this clone. Furthermore, comparative alignment with the
closest genome of Thiomicrospira crunogena XCL2 revealed that three homologous genes were located within the vicinity of the sqr gene. Fosmid clones harboring carbon fixation (cbbL and cbbM) and denitrification (narG) genes were screened, and the phylogeny of the functional genes was analyzed. Along with the comparison between the sqr-containing fosmid clones and the relevant -proteobacteria, our phylogenetic study based on the 16S rRNA gene and carbon fixation
genes suggest the prevalence of chemolithotrophic -proteobacteria in the denitrifying cultures. The findings of this study
imply that a combination of cultivation and metagenomic approaches might provide us with a glimpse into the characteristics
of sulfur oxidizers in marine sediments. 相似文献

The deep-sea tube worm Riftia pachyptila Jones possesses a multi-hemoglobin system with three different extracellular Hbs: two dissolved in the vascular blood, V1 (ca. 3,500 kDa) and V2 (ca. 400 kDa), and one in the coelomic fluid, C1 (ca. 400 kDa). V1 Hb consists of four heme-containing, globin chains (b–e) and four linker chains (L1–L4). V2 and C1 Hbs are exclusively built from globin chains, six for V2 (a–f) and five for C1 (a–e). The complete amino acid sequence of the isolated monomeric globin chain b, common to all Riftia Hbs, has been determined by automated Edman degradation sequencing of the peptides derived by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, and CNBr. This polypeptide chain is composed of 144 amino acid residues, providing a Mr of 16, 135.0 Da. Moreover, the primary sequence of chain b revealed 3 Cys residues at position 4, 75, and 134. Cys-4 and Cys-134 are located at positions where an intra-chain disulfide bridge is formed in all annelid, vestimentiferan, or pogonophoran chains, but Cys-75 is located at a unique position only found in three globin chains belonging to Lamellibrachia and Oligobrachia, a vestimentiferan and a pogonophoran. In both groups, Hbs can bind sulfide reversibly to fuel the chemosynthetic process of the symbiotic bacteria they harbor. Sulfide-binding experiments performed on purified Hb fractions (i.e., V1, V2, and C1 Hbs) suggest that free Cys residues on globin chains, and the numerous Cys found in linker chains, as determined previously by ESI-MS, may be the sulfide binding-sites. Blocking the free Cys by N-ethylmaleimide, we confirmed that free cysteines were involved in sulfide-binding but did not account for the whole sulfide-binding capacity of V1 Hb. Furthermore, a phylogenetic tree was constructed from 18 globin-like chains of annelid, vetimentiferan, and pogonophoran extracellular Hbs to clarify the systematic position of tubeworms. Riftia chain b clearly belongs to the “strain A” family with 30 to 80% identity with the other sequences analyzed. Its position in the tree confirmed a close relationship between vestimentiferan, pogonophoran, and annelid Hbs. Proteins 29:562–574, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We studied the diversity of all forms of the RuBisCO large subunit-encoding gene cbbL in three RuBisCO uncharacterized hydrothermal vent communities. This diversity included the archaeal cbbL and the forms IC and ID, which have not previously been studied in the deep-sea environment, in addition to the forms IA,
IB and II. Vent plume sites were Fryer and Pika in the Mariana arc and the Suiyo Seamount, Izu-Bonin, Japan. The cbbL forms were PCR amplified from plume bulk microbial DNA and then cloned and sequenced. Archaeal cbbL was detected in the Mariana samples only. Both forms IA and II were amplified from all samples, while the form IC was amplified
only from the Pika and Suiyo samples. Only the Suiyo sample showed amplification of the form ID. The form IB was not recorded
in any sample. Based on rarefaction analysis, nucleotide diversity and average pairwise difference, the archaeal cbbL was the most diverse form in Mariana samples, while the bacterial form IA was the most diverse form in the Suiyo sample.
Also, the Pika sample harbored the highest diversity of cbbL phylogenetic lineages. Based on pairwise reciprocal library comparisons, the Fryer and Pika archaeal cbbL libraries showed the most significant difference, while Pika and Suiyo showed the highest similarity for forms IA and II
libraries. This suggested that the Fryer supported the most divergent sequences. All archaeal cbbL sequences formed unique phylogenetic lineages within the branches of anaerobic thermophilic archaea of the genera Pyrococcus, Archaeoglobus, and Methanococcus. The other cbbL forms formed novel phylogenetic clusters distinct from any recorded previously in other deep-sea habitats. This is the first
evidence for the diversity of archaeal cbbL in environmental samples. 相似文献

Deep-sea mussels of the genus Bathymodiolus (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) harbor symbiotic bacteria in their gills and are among the dominant invertebrate species at cold seeps and hydrothermal vents. An undescribed Bathymodiolus species was collected at a depth of 3,150 m in a newly discovered cold seep area on the southeast Atlantic margin, close to the Zaire channel. Transmission electron microscopy, comparative 16S rRNA analysis, and fluorescence in situ hybridization indicated that this Bathymodiolus sp. lives in a dual symbiosis with sulfide- and methane-oxidizing bacteria. A distinct distribution pattern of the symbiotic bacteria in the gill epithelium was observed, with the thiotrophic symbiont dominating the apical region and the methanotrophic symbiont more abundant in the basal region of the bacteriocytes. No variations in this distribution pattern or in the relative abundances of the two symbionts were observed in mussels collected from three different mussel beds with methane concentrations ranging from 0.7 to 33.7 μM. The 16S rRNA sequence of the methanotrophic symbiont is most closely related to those of known methanotrophic symbionts from other bathymodiolid mussels. Surprisingly, the thiotrophic Bathymodiolus sp. 16S rRNA sequence does not fall into the monophyletic group of sequences from thiotrophic symbionts of all other Bathymodiolus hosts. While these mussel species all come from vents, this study describes the first thiotrophic sequence from a seep mussel and shows that it is most closely related (99% sequence identity) to an environmental clone sequence obtained from a hydrothermal plume near Japan. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to characterize the bacterial community composition in the bulk soil, rhizosphere soil and root tissue of the tomato plant (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill). 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from the bacterial community was amplified using PCR, and sequence analysis of 16S rDNA clones was subsequently used for bacterial identification and phylogenetic classification. Phylogenetic analysis of clones (total of 68) from the bulk soil, rhizosphere and root tissues showed that about 50% of the bacteria belonged to the α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria or Cytophaga–Flavobacterium–Bacteroides (CFB) phyla, with only one high G+C clone identified. A number of diverse bacteria were identified within Proteobacteria, while 87% of the bacteria belonged to the genus Flavobacterium within the CFB phylum, which is a unique finding for tomato plants. Our results will be of interest to those wanting to identify bacteria that can promote plant growth or resistance to diseases. 相似文献

Two form ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) genes from the obligately autotrophic, marine hydrogen
oxidizer Hydrogenovibrio marinus were sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequences of both RuBisCOs revealed that they are similar to those of sulfur oxidizers
(Thiobacillus) and a purple sulfur bacterium (Chromatium vinosum). According to the 16S rRNA gene sequences, H. marinus is also affiliated with these microorganisms, members of Thiomicrospira being the closest relatives. Sequence similarities of the 16S rRNA genes and of the RuBisCO genes among these γ-Proteobacteria
suggest a common autotrophic ancestry. An ancestor of purple sulfur bacteria might be a common root of H. marinus and related sulfur oxidizers.

To study the structure of microbial communities in the biological hydrogen production reactor and determine the ecological
function of hydrogen producing bacteria, anaerobic sludge was obtained from the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in
different periods of time, and the diversity and dynamics of microbial communities were investigated by denaturing gradient
gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The results of DGGE demonstrated that an obvious shift of microbial population happened from the
beginning of star-up to the 28th day, and the ethanol type fermentation was established. After 28 days the structure of microbial
community became stable, and the climax community was formed. Comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequences from reamplifying
and sequencing the prominent bands indicated that the dominant population belonged to low G+C Gram-positive bacteria (Clostridium sp. andEthanologenbacterium sp.), β-proteobacteria (Acidovorax sp.), γ-proteobacteria (Kluyvera sp.), Bacteroides (uncultured bacterium SJA-168), and Spirochaetes (uncultured eubacterium E1-K13), respectively. The hydrogen
production rate increased obviously with the increase ofEthanologenbacterium sp.,Clostridium sp. and uncultured Spirochaetes after 21 days, meanwhile the succession of ethanol type fermentation was formed. Throughout
the succession the microbial diversity increased however it decreased after 21 days. Some types ofClostridium sp.Acidovorax sp.,Kluyvera sp., and Bacteroides were dominant populations during all periods of time. These special populations were essential for the
construction of climax community. Hydrogen production efficiency was dependent on both hydrogen producing bacteria and other
populations. It implied that the cometabolism of microbial community played a great role of biohydrogen production in the
reactors. 相似文献
