Spatial distribution, diversity and composition of bacterial communities in sub-seafloor fluids at a deep-sea hydrothermal field of the Suiyo Seamount

Spatial distribution, diversity, and composition of bacterial communities within the shallow sub-seafloor at the deep-sea hydrothermal field of the Suiyo Seamount, Izu-Bonin Arc, Western Pacific Ocean, were investigated. Fluids were sampled from four boreholes in this area. Each borehole was located near or away from active vents, the distance ranging 2–40 m from active vents. In addition, fluids discharging from a natural vent and ambient seawater were sampled in this area. We extracted DNA from each sample, amplified bacterial 16S rRNA genes by PCR, cloned the PCR products and sequenced. The total number of clones analyzed was 348. Most of the detected phylotypes were affiliated with the phylum Proteobacteria, of which the detection frequency in each clone library ranged from 84.6% to 100%. The bacterial community diversity and composition were different between hydrothermal fluids and seawater, between fluids from the boreholes and the vent, and even among fluids from each borehole. The relative abundances of the phylotypes related to Thiomicrospira, Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas were significantly different among fluids from each borehole. The phylotypes related to Thiomicrospira and Alcanivorax were detected in all of the boreholes and vent samples. Our findings provide insights into bacterial communities in the shallow sub-seafloor environments at active deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields.

应用新一代测序技术测定大室别藻苔虫线粒体基因组全序列

线粒体基因组的获得传统上通常是采取长PCR结合鸟枪法或步移法测序。近年来新一代测序技术蓬勃发展,以454,Solexa和SOLiD测序平台为代表。应用新一代高通量测序技术(Solexa)并结合巢式PCR扩增,完成了大室别藻苔虫(Membranipora grandicella)的线粒体基因组全序列。大室别藻苔虫线粒体基因组是目前国际上获得的第一条苔藓动物软壁亚目线粒体基因组全序列,基因组全长为15861 bp,比已完成的4种苔藓动物线粒体基因组略大。大室别藻苔虫线粒体基因组包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和20个转运RNA基因。通过与已测得的苔藓动物进行比较,发现目前已完成的5个苔藓动物线粒体基因组的基因排列顺序显著不同。苔藓动物线粒体基因组基因排列的比较,今后可能会成为探讨该类群系统演化关系的重要信息来源。

Nematode diversity of Qingdao coast inferred from the 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis

The 18S ribosomal DNA gene （18S rDNA） sequences （approxtmately 1300 bp in length） were amplified from the DNA extracted from the free-living marine nematodes collected from the inter-tidal sediment of Qingdao coast in bulk with nematode specific primers. The PCR products were cloned, re-amplified, digested with Rsa I and Hin61 restriction endonucleases and separated in agarose gel. Among 17 restriction fragment length types, types 1, 2 and 6 covered 61.2%, 14.4% and 9.3% of the clones analyzed, respectively, while the remaining 14 only covered 21 clones, which accounted for 15.1% of the total. Twenty-four representative clones were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed by referring to those currently available in RDP and GenBank databases. Although it was hard to assign these sequences to known species or genera due to the lack of the 18S rDNA sequence data of known marine free-living nematodes, the obtained sequences were assigned to the nematodes of Adenophorea. Among them, twelve sequences were close to Pontonema vulgate and Adoncholaimus sp., four to Daptonema procerus and two （identical） to Enoplus brews. Our results showed that free-living marine nematode diversities could be determined by PCR retrieving and analysis of the 18S rDNA sequences and an 18S rDNA sequence could be assigned to a species or a genus only if the 18S rDNA sequences of the free-living marine nematodes were accumulated to some extent.

大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)ISG15基因单核苷酸多态性及与抗病性状的相关性研究

由哈维氏弧菌(Vibrio harveyi)等细菌感染引起的弧菌病对我国大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)的养殖造成了严重危害。通过哈维氏弧菌人工感染大黄鱼建立易感组和抗病组,采用PCR扩增和直接测序法对大黄鱼干扰素刺激基因ISG15双拷贝(ISG15-1和ISG15-2)进行单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)检测和分型,并与其哈维氏弧菌抗性进行关联分析。结果表明,从大黄鱼ISG15-1和ISG15-2基因中分别筛选到10个和4个SNP位点并进行了成功分型。经统计分析,ISG15-1基因的186G/C和318C/T位点以及ISG15-2基因的297G/T位点的基因型频率和等位基因频率在易感群体和抗病群体中均存在极显著差异,表明这3个SNP位点与大黄鱼哈维氏弧菌抗性显著相关。连锁不平衡分析结果显示,ISG15-1的SNPs可形成1个单倍块和11种单倍型,而ISG15-2的SNPs可形成1个单倍块和5种单倍型。其中,ISG15-1基因的单倍型H2(CCCCGGTACC)、H6(TCCCACTGTC)和H9(TCCCAGTGCC)与大黄鱼哈维氏弧菌抗性显著相关;ISG15-2基因的单倍型H1(CCCG)和H4(TCCG)与大黄鱼哈维氏弧菌抗性极显著相关。这些ISG15-1和ISG15-2基因的SNP位点以及单倍型可以作为抗哈维氏弧菌病大黄鱼选育的候选分子标记。
