近海水体环境DNA沉降对沉积物中纤毛虫分子多样性评估的影响

在陆架海区沉积物中, DNA高通量测序技术可检获大量浮游寡毛类和舞毛类等非底栖纤毛虫,这些源于水体的环境DNA(eDNA)如何影响对沉积物中纤毛虫分子多样性的评估,以及影响程度如何尚不明确。本研究选取了黄海冷水团中的两个站位,通过提取水体和沉积物中DNA和RNA,并采用直接提取法和洗脱法提取沉积物DNA,结合DNA和cDNA测序技术,探讨了水体和沉积物中纤毛虫分子多样性的关系。研究表明,基于洗脱DNA法、直接提取DNA法和cDNA法获得的沉积物中纤毛虫OTUs数分别为451、312和324个,其中211个OTUs同时由三种方法检获;而164个OTUs仅通过洗脱DNA法检获,其中89%为相对丰度低于0.1%的稀有类群。直接提取DNA法所获的寡毛类和舞毛类序列数占比达46%,而在洗脱DNA法和cDNA法中占比仅为12%和10%。沉积物中检获的43%—71%的舞毛类和寡毛类OTUs与浅层水(<40m)共有,仅19%—29%与深层水(>40m)共有,且这些共有的OTUs可同时在浅层水中检获。本研究发现,对沉积物中纤毛虫分子多样性评价造成影响的浮游类群主要来自浅层水,洗脱DNA与cD...     

南海深海氮循环微生物的原位培养与多样性分析

借助自主研发的深海水体原位定植培养系统,在南海3 300 m的深海水体中进行了氮循环微生物的原位培养.通过向富集仓中投加缓释肥(铵盐、硝酸盐和尿素)进行了为期17个月的原位富集.结合高通量测序技术和分离培养的方法,对深海原位富集物及实验室二次富集物进行了微生物多样性分析. 16S rRNA基因高通量测序结果表明,在南海原位富集样品中,细菌以变形菌门丰度最高,富集仓内脱脂棉附着介质和仓内水样中的最优势属分别为希瓦氏菌属(Shewanella)和科韦尔氏菌属(Colwellia);古菌以奇古菌门为主,其中氨氧化古菌(AOA)所占比例很高.通过平板培养分离到17株细菌,主要包括盐单胞菌属(Halomonas)、海杆菌属(Marinobacter)和亚硫酸盐杆菌属(Sulfitobacter)等.通过不同起始氮源(氨氮、硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐)和培养温度(28℃和10℃),对原位富集样品进行实验室二次富集,获得了5个富集菌群.分析发现,它们均具有较好的脱氮效果,可以产生N_2O或N_2;这些菌群均以盐单胞菌属占绝对优势,其次为海源菌属(Idiomarina)或海杆菌属,其中盐单胞菌和海源菌成功获得分离.单菌功能验证表明,分离获得的盐单胞菌具有好氧反硝化能力,其在原位环境下反硝化活性尚有待确认.     

杭州西溪湿地沉积物细菌的群落结构和多样性

采用Illumina Mi Seq高通量测序技术,对杭州西溪湿地4种不同植被下沉积物的细菌多样性进行了研究。通过提取样品基因组DNA,对16S r RNA V3、V4区测序,共获得有效序列67734条,产生2181个OTU,序列平均长度为441 bp,其中大于400bp的序列占99.74%。对97%相似水平的OTU代表序列进行分类学分析,结果表明,沉积物具有很高的细菌多样性,涵盖了30个门252个属的细菌。其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)是各样品的优势类群,所占比例高达30.0%—64.7%。同时,β-变形菌纲、γ-变形菌纲和δ-变形菌纲在变形菌门中占主导地位,在这些类群中发现有大量与N、S等元素代谢相关的菌群,应该在湿地沉积物的元素循环中发挥着重要作用。此外,4个样品中约有10%—15%的序列属于无法确定分类位置(Unclassified)的类群,说明西溪湿地沉积物中蕴藏有较多的潜在新物种。本研究结果将为西溪湿地的保护和修复提供理论和实践依据。     

南沙深海沉积物中石油降解菌的分离鉴定和多样性分析

为了解我国南沙海域中石油降解菌的多样性,认识其在环境自净中作用并获得用于石油污染生物修复的菌种资源,以不同链长烷烃及支链烷烃对南沙深海沉积物样品进行富集与烃降解菌的分离鉴定,并结合16S rRNA基因文库和DGGE技术对降解菌群的结构进行了分析.结果表明：通过16S rRNA基因文库构建及PCR-DGGE分析发现,不同链长烷烃富集后的菌群中,食烷菌（Alcanivorax）在各降解菌群中都是绝对优势菌;另外,除烃海杆菌（Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus）、海绵假单胞菌（Pseudomonas pachastrellae）,以及Idiomarina与Kangiella属的细菌也是菌群中较重要的优势菌.此外,通过2种平板培养基从烷烃富集的降解菌群中分离获得了8个不同属的细菌.本研究还首次发现Kangiella属（食烷菌科）的细菌可能参与了烷烃降解.南沙沉积物烷烃降解菌多为γ-Proteobacteria;其中,食烷菌科（Alcanivoraceae）（Alcanivorax与Kangiella属）的细菌在降解菌群中是绝对优势菌,假单胞菌与海杆菌在烷烃降解过程中也起着重要作用.     

基于形态学与核糖体DNA及其cDNA高通量测序的海洋沉积物中纤毛虫多样性比较

高通量测序技术广泛应用于环境真核微生物多样性的研究,可检获较之传统形态学方法更高的多样性。然而,检获的高分子多样性与基于形态的物种多样性在构成上的差异仍然不明。本研究首次对比分析了基于形态学的南黄海沉积物中的纤毛虫物种多样性与基于核糖体18S DNA和c DNA高通量测序的多样性异同。结果表明:形态鉴定获得8纲、20目、30科、36属共97种纤毛虫;DNA测序检获10纲、28目、55科、76属共174个OTUs;而通过c DNA测序获取的纤毛虫多样性最高,获10纲、31目、68科、99属共284个OTUs。研究发现,形态学方法检获的纤毛虫均为底栖生纤毛虫;两种分子手段检获的多样性更高,群落结构更为近似,覆盖了形态鉴定所获的绝大部分类群。但DNA测序还检获了序列比例高达90%的浮游类群,可能源于包囊或死亡沉降的物种;而c DNA测序检获了约7%的浮游纤毛虫序列。较之DNA测序,c DNA法检获的底栖纤毛虫在群落结构上与形态学结果更为接近。本研究表明,分子手段有助于更全面地揭示沉积物中的纤毛虫多样性,DNA测序可同时揭示休眠包囊、胞外DNA及过去群落的信息,而c DNA测序在研究活动纤毛虫多样性上更有优势。

In situ cultivation of deep-sea water with bicarbonate fueled a different microbial community

Some deep-sea microbes may incorporate inorganic carbon to reduce CO₂ emission to upper layer and atmosphere. How the microbial inhabitants can be affected under addition of bicarbonate has not been studied using in situ fixed and lysed samples. In this study, we cultivated 40 L natural bottom water at ~1 000 m depth with a final concentration of 0.1 mmol/L bicarbonate for 40 min and applied multiple in situ nucleic acids collection (MISNAC) apparatus for nucleic acids extraction from the cultivation. Our classification result of the cultivation sample showed a distinct microbial community structure, compared with the samples obtained by Niskin bottle and six working units of MISNAC. Except for notable enrichment of Alteromonas, we detected prevalence of Asprobacter, Ilumatobacter and Saccharimonadales in the cultivation. Deep-sea lineages of Euryarchaeota, SAR406, SAR202 and SAR324 were almost completely absent from the cultivation and Niskin samples. This study revealed the dominant microbes affected by bicarbonate addition and Niskin sampling, which suggested rapid responses of deep-sea microbes to the environmental changes.     

珊瑚共附生DMSP降解菌的分离及其多样性分析

二甲基巯基丙酸内盐(DMSP)是地球上最丰富的有机硫分子之一,在全球硫循环和气候调节中具有重要的作用。DMSP是“冷室气体”二甲基硫(DMS)最主要的前体物质;在海洋中,DMSP可被多种途径降解,微生物降解是其最重要的途径之一。珊瑚礁是海洋DMS重要的来源之一,珊瑚共附生DMSP降解菌在DMS生产过程中发挥着重要的作用。本研究从多孔鹿角珊瑚(Acropora millepora)、美丽鹿角珊瑚(Acropora formosa)、多棘鹿角珊瑚(Acropora echinata)、指状鹿角珊瑚(Acropora digitifera)、鹿角杯形珊瑚(Pocillopora damicornis)和丛生盔形珊瑚(Galaxea fascicularis) 6种造礁石珊瑚中分离获得珊瑚共附生DMSP降解菌39株,基于16S rRNA基因序列对DMSP降解菌进行系统发育分析,39株DMSP降解菌株分别隶属于4个门、6个纲、19个属,优势属为芽孢杆菌属(Bacillus);通过火焰光度检测器−气相色谱(GC-FPD)联用技术检测DMSP降解产物,分析DMSP降解菌的DMS生产能力,结果显示,9株菌具有高产DMS能力,高产DMS菌株对于珊瑚应对气候变暖的益生作用有待后续深入研究。     

In situ experimental decomposition studies in estuaries: A comparison of Phragmites australis and Fucus vesiculosus

The decomposition rates of Phragmites australis and Fucus vesiculosus were experimentally determined in an estuarine system using the leaf-bag technique. The study was conducted in fifteen sites arranged in five areas, extending from freshwater, outside the tidal range, to the marine environment, near the mouth of the estuary. The leaf-bags (5 mm mesh), were set up with 3.0 g of dried substrate, submerged in the experimental sites at day 0 and collected at days 3, 7, 15, 30 and 60, to follow biomass loss. The biomass loss through the leaching phase (day 3) was about 16% for Phragmites australis and 33% for Fucus vesiculosus and was independent of salinity for both substrates. The difference in the remaining biomass between the two species increased with time and the decomposition rates differed along the salinity gradient. For F. vesiculosus, the decomposition rate was highest near the mouth of the estuary, corresponding to the preferential distribution area of the algae, and decreased towards freshwater. For Phragmites australis, the fastest decay was observed in the mid estuary, where Phragmites australis occurs naturally, confirming previous studies. The decomposition rates measured at different time intervals (0–15, 0–30 and 0–60 days) were always higher for the algae and decreased with time for both species. These results indicate that the use of decomposition rates as a measure of ecosystem integrity or quality status in transitional waters will not be straightforward and must take into account, among others, the test species, the study area positioning along the estuarine gradient, and the time interval for the calculation of the decomposition rate.     

In situ and satellite observations of the eastward migration of the Western Alboran Sea Gyre

During October 2003 an intensive oceanographic survey (BIOMEGA) was carried out in the Alboran Sea, coinciding with a migration event of the Western Alboran Sea Gyre (WAG). The observations gathered during that cruise constitute the first field evidence of a migrated stage of the WAG. In this work we present the main differences between the 3D hydrodynamic fields observed during BIOMEGA and those corresponding to a WAG located at its usual position. The migration of the gyre was followed by satellite (altimetry and sea surface temperature) imagery. The causes of the gyre migration are explored in terms of the quasi-geostrophic tendency equation, in particular of the dynamics governing scales larger than the Rossby radius of deformation. It is shown that the steady state gyre must be almost equivalent barotropic and that the key process to break down the stationarity would be a density advection at gyre scale. The mechanisms to explain the migration of the WAG proposed by previous authors are discussed in light of the explanation proposed in this work.     

In situ determination on food consumption and ecological conversion efficiency of a marine fish species, Hyporhamphus sajori

The food consumption and ecological conversion efficiency of a species marine pelagic andsmall size fish, Hyporhamphus sajori, were determined by using in situ stomach content method presented by Eggers. The results showed that: (1) the fish was taken in food all day, so empty-stomach rate was very low, taking up about 4.5% of the total determined fish number. However, the fish still has significant daily feeding rhythm. A feeding peak was found 0:00 o'clock at night, but feeding level was always high in the daytime; (2) relationship between instantaneous food content in stomach and corresponding time could be described as S_t = a ·e ~(-b ·t). There was not significant difference of instantaneous gastric evacuation rate between two determinations, with average value being 0.13 × 10~(-2)g/ (g·d) (wet weight); (3) the daily food consumption tended to change in irregular waving form, with average value being (10.16×l0~(-2)±1.19×l0~(-2) g/ (g·d) (wet weight) or (55.56 × 10~(-2) ±6.51 × 10~(-2) kJ/     

南黄海和渤海近海海域中华哲水蚤的现场摄食研究

桡足类是海洋生态系统中初级生产者和较高营养级消费者之间的关键联系环节,掌握桡足类的现场食物组成对于准确评估海洋食物网中的营养关系和能量转移至关重要。本研究中,我们以中华哲水蚤这一在中国、日本以及韩国近海具有重要生态地位的大型哲水蚤属桡足类为研究对象,应用之前开发的基于PCR的克隆技术,通过分析中华哲水蚤所摄食生物的18S rDNA序列,研究了中华哲水蚤的现场食物组成。结果揭示了南黄海（Y19站位）和渤海（B49站位）中华哲水蚤食物组成的多样性。共检测出43个操作分类单元（OTUs）,分别隶属于13个类群：硅藻（Bacillariophyta）、甲藻（Dinoflagellata）、硅鞭藻（Dictyochophyceae）、金藻（Chrysophyta）、Katablepharidophyta、浮生藻（Pelagophyceae）、无根虫（Apusozoa）、水螅水母（Hydrozoa）、栉水母（Ctenophora）、棘皮动物（Echinodermata）、被囊动物（Tunicata）、毛颚动物（Chaetognatha）以及海洋真菌。结果还表明,当发生藻类暴发时,中华哲水蚤可以摄食引发藻类暴发的藻种。当周围海域浮游植物的丰度相对较低时,中华哲水蚤可以选择摄食各种后生动物尤其是水螅水母和栉水母的卵、幼虫或者有机碎屑。我们的研究结果表明中华哲水蚤是一种杂食性桡足类,它对食物的选择依赖其生活海域中食物的可获得性。     

In situ experimentation at the water/sediment interface in the deep sea: 1. Submersible experimental instrumentation developed for sampling and incubation

In order to make progress in the study of processes in deep-sea ecosystems, we have developed a strategy for the use of submersibles in conjunction with free vehicles. The BIOCYAN programme, which was conducted by French oceanographers at a permanent station in the Bay of Biscay, involved the use of submersibles for benthic ecological studies. It lead to the development of a variety of equipment for sampling and experimental studies. The submersible Cyana has a limited equipment workload, so the initial step was to develop a free vehicle which could function as a shuttle to act as an independent transport for equipment to be used from the submersible. Two other devices have been developed for sampling with precision the surficial layers of the sediment, one of which can be used in conjunction with an injection module to measure rates of processes in situ by incubations, following injection with labelled substrates. These devices, the free-lift shuttle, tube corers, a blade box corer and the associated injection module are described.     

条斑紫菜外生细菌的遗传多样性

为研究藻际微生物多样性与紫菜健康养殖的关系,从江苏南通(养殖)、山东青岛(野生)、浙江温州(养殖)三地的条斑紫菜叶状体和江苏东台条斑紫菜贝壳丝状体及其周围的海水样品中分离了条斑紫菜外生细菌。根据菌落特征和菌体形态将获得的63株细菌分为21种表型。16SrDNA-V3片段DGGE分析结合序列测序比对结果表明:这些菌株与假交替单孢菌(Pseudoalteromonas)、嗜冷单胞菌(Psychrobacter)和芽孢杆菌(Bacillus)等10属相应菌株具有较高的同源性。通过对条斑紫菜外生细菌区系多样性分析得出:条斑紫菜藻体外生细菌组成与生活环境相关,但不同于周围海水细菌群落;不同来源(地点)、不同生理状况(健康与病烂)和不同生长阶段(叶状体和丝状体)的条斑紫菜外生菌种群组成差异较大。许多外生细菌对常见测试菌、海水养殖动物致病菌和人致病菌具有抑菌活性,其抑菌特点与紫菜生理性状相关。从健康条斑紫菜样品分离的外生菌中假交替单孢菌占优势,病烂紫菜未分离到假交替单孢菌,提示假交替单孢菌可能与紫菜健康生长有密切关系。
