Monitoring And Control

AbstractThe cumulative effects of anthropogenic stress on freshwater ecosystems are becoming increasingly evident and worrisome. In lake sediments contaminated by heavy metals, the composition and structure of microbial communities can change and affect nutrient transformation and biogeochemical cycling of sediments. In this study, bacterial and archaeal communities of lake sediments under fish pressure contaminated with heavy metals were investigated by the Illumina MiSeq platform. Despite the similar content of most of the heavy metals in the lagoon sediments, we found that their microbial communities were different in diversity and composition. This difference would be determined by the resilience or tolerance of the microbial communities to the heavy metal enrichment gradient. Thirty-two different phyla and 66 different microbial classes were identified in sediment from the three lagoons studied. The highest percentages of contribution in the differentiation of microbial communities were presented by the classes Alphaproteobacteria (19.08%), Cyanophyceae (14.96%), Betaproteobacteria (9.01%) y Actinobacteria (7.55%). The bacteria that predominated in sediments with high levels of Cd and As were Deltaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Coriobacteriia, Nitrososphaeria and Acidobacteria (Pomacocha), Alphaproteobacteria, Chitinophagia, Nitrospira and Clostridia (Tipicocha) and Betaproteobacteria (Tranca Grande). Finally, the results allow us to expand the current knowledge of microbial diversity in lake sediments contaminated with heavy metals and to identify bioindicators taxa of environmental quality that can be used in the monitoring and control of heavy metal contamination.

Invisible to the naked eye lies a tremendous diversity of organic molecules and organisms that make major contributions to important biogeochemical cycles. However, how the diversity and composition of these two communities are interlinked remains poorly characterized in fresh waters, despite the potential for chemical and microbial diversity to promote one another. Here we exploited gradients in chemodiversity within a common microbial pool to test how chemical and biological diversity covary and characterized the implications for ecosystem functioning. We found that both chemodiversity and genes associated with organic matter decomposition increased as more plant litterfall accumulated in experimental lake sediments, consistent with scenarios of future environmental change. Chemical and microbial diversity were also positively correlated, with dissolved organic matter having stronger effects on microbes than vice versa. Under our experimental scenarios that increased sediment organic matter from 5 to 25% or darkened overlying waters by 2.5 times, the resulting increases in chemodiversity could increase greenhouse gas concentrations in lake sediments by an average of 1.5 to 2.7 times, when all of the other effects of litterfall and water color were considered. Our results open a major new avenue for research in aquatic ecosystems by exposing connections between chemical and microbial diversity and their implications for the global carbon cycle in greater detail than ever before.
