Abstract: | Metagenomic analyses were conducted to evaluate the biodiversity of oyster shell bacteria, under storage conditions, on the basis of 16s rDNA sequences. Temperature was recorded during a one year storage period, and the highest temperature (about 60 degrees C) was observed after five months ofstorage. Bacterial diversity was greatest in the initial stage sample, with 33 different phylotypes classified under seven phyla (Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and unclassified bacteria), with 42.22% ofphylotypes belonging to Proteobacteria. The lowest diversity was found in the high temperature (fermentation) stage sample, with 10 different phylotypes belonging to Firmicutes (78.57%) and Bacteroidetes. In the final stage sample, bacteria were found belonging to Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, and some were unclassified bacteria. Of the bacteria constituting the final stage metagenome, 69.70% belonged to Firmicutes. Our results show that bacteria belonging to phylum Firmicutes were predominant during fermentation, and during the final stages of oyster shell storage, which suggests that these bacteria supposed to be the key players for oyster shell biodegradation. |
