AbstractRich geochemical datasets generated over the past 30 years have provided fine-scale resolution on the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) coastal hypoxic (≤ 2 mg of O2 L-1) zone. In contrast, little is known about microbial community structure and activity in the hypoxic zone despite the implication that microbial respiration is responsible for forming low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditioXSns. Here, we hypothesized that the extent of the hypoxic zone is a driver in determining microbial community structure, and in particular, the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). Samples collected across the shelf for two consecutive hypoxic seasons in July 2013 and 2014 were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, oligotyping, microbial co-occurrence analysis and quantification of thaumarchaeal 16S rRNA and archaeal ammonia-monooxygenase (amoA) genes. In 2014 Thaumarchaeota were enriched and inversely correlated with DO while Cyanobacteria, Acidimicrobiia and Proteobacteria where more abundant in oxic samples compared to hypoxic. Oligotyping analysis of Nitrosopumilus 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that one oligotype was significantly inversely correlated with dissolved oxygen (DO) in both years and that low DO concentrations, and the high Thaumarchaeota abundances, influenced microbial co-occurrence patterns. Taken together, the data demonstrated that the extent of hypoxic conditions could potentially influence patterns in microbial community structure, with two years of data revealing that the annual nGOM hypoxic zone is emerging as a low DO adapted AOA hotspot.

Here, we report a 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence analysis presenting the microbial community in sediments from the Suyeong River and Suyeong Bay, Republic of Korea. The dominant phyla in all sediment samples were Proteobacteria (39.69 to 53.62%) and Bacteroidetes (29.78 to 33.89%).

Aquaculture places contamination pressure on the coastal environment. We investigated the microbial community structure changes in sediment in an ascidian Styela clava farm. Data profiling of the 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence shows that the microbial diversity of sediment in the Styela clava farm is dominated by Proteobacteria phyla (relative abundance, 95.34 to 97.85%).

Alkaline hot springs are unique extreme habitats resemble the early Earth and present a valuable resource for the discovery of procaryotic community diversity and isolation of the novel thermophilic Bacteria and Archaea. One of the model for the possible origin of biochemistry in alkaline hot springs revealed the acetyl-CoA pathway of CO2 fixation might be the most ancient form of carbon metabolism. Recent phylogenetic studies have suggested that the phylum Acetothermia is one of the deep branches of the Bacteria domain. Firstly Acetothermia (Candidate division OP1) was characterized in a culture independent molecular phylogenetic survey based on the 16S rRNA gene of the sulfide-rich hot spring, Obsidian Pool, a 75 to 95oC hot spring. Two nearly complete genomes of Acetothermia were established based on genome-resolved metagenomic analysis and its capability of implementing acetogenesis through the ancient reductive acetyl-CoA pathway by utilizing CO2 and H2 was revealed. Although genomic, proteomic and metagenomic approaches investigate basic metabolism and potentional energy conservation of uncultivated candidate phyla but ecological roles of these bacteria and general patterns of diversity and community structure stay unclear. General hydrochemical and geological characterization of alkaline thermal springs of the Baikal Rift zone with high silica concentrations and a nitrogen dominated gas phase is provided. Previous microbiogical studies based on culture-dependent methods recovered a large number of bacterial strains from thermal springs located in Baikal Rift zone. We combined microbial communities analysis by using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing, biogeochemical measurements, sediment mineralogy and physicochemical characteristics to investigate ecosystems of alkaline hot springs located in the Baikal Rift zone. Uncultivated bacteria belonging to the phylum Acetothermia, along with members of the phyla Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, were identified as the dominant group in hydrothermal sediments communities in the alkaline hot springs of Baikal Rift zone. In bottom sediments of the Alla hot spring, about 57% of all classified sequences represent this phylum. Geochemistry of fluids and sample type were strongly correlated with microbial community composition. The Acetothermia exhibited the highest relative abundance in sediment microbial community associated with alkaline thermal fluids enriched in Fe, Zn, Ni, Al and Cr.

ABSTRACTCassava/peanut intercropping is a popular cultivation method in southern China and has the advantages of apparently increased yield and economic efficiency compared with monoculture, however, the ecological benefits of this method are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intercropping on the physicochemical properties and microbial community structures of soil. Field trials were performed to determine the effects of cassava/peanut intercropping on rhizospheric soil nutrient content, enzyme activities, microbial quantity and microbial community structure. The microbial community was characterized by 16S rRNA tag-based high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. Results showed that cassava/peanut intercropping could improve the physicochemical properties of rhizospheric soil by increasing the available nutrient content, pH, bacterial quantity, and some enzyme activities and by altering the microbial community structure. 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that the microbial community structure varied between the intercropping and monoculture systems. Nitrospirae, Verrucomicrobia and Gemmatimonadetes were more abundant in the intercropping system than in the monocultures. Redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that the abundances ofDA101,PilimeliaandRamlibacterwere positively correlated with environmental parameters such as available nitrogen and pH, and these were dominant genera in the rhizospheric soil of the intercropped peanut plants.

Abstract. Microbial methane oxidation process (methanotrophy) is the primary control on the emission of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. In terrestrial environments, aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are mainly responsible for oxidizing the methane. In marine sediments the coupling of the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate reduction, often by a consortium of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate reducing bacteria, was found to consume almost all the upward diffusing methane. Recently, we showed geochemical evidence for AOM driven by iron reduction in Lake Kinneret (LK) (Israel) deep sediments and suggested that this process can be an important global methane sink. The goal of the present study was to link the geochemical gradients found in the porewater (chemical and isotope profiles) with possible changes in microbial community structure. Specifically, we examined the possible shift in the microbial community in the deep iron-driven AOM zone and its similarity to known sulfate driven AOM populations. Screening of archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed Thaumarchaeota and Euryarchaeota as the dominant phyla in the sediment. Thaumarchaeota, which belongs to the family of copper containing membrane-bound monooxgenases, increased with depth while Euryarchaeota decreased. This may indicate the involvement of Thaumarchaeota, which were discovered to be ammonia oxidizers but whose activity could also be linked to methane, in AOM in the deep sediment. ANMEs sequences were not found in the clone libraries, suggesting that iron-driven AOM is not through sulfate. Bacterial 16S rRNA sequences displayed shifts in community diversity with depth. Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi increased with depth, which could be connected with their different dissimilatory anaerobic processes. The observed changes in microbial community structure suggest possible direct and indirect mechanisms for iron-driven AOM in deep sediments.
