Sequence Similarities

A novel Gram-negative, orange-pigmented, slightly halophilic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain T30T, was isolated from sediment from the South China Sea. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain T30T was a member of the genus Erythrobacter, sharing highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Erythrobacter aquimaris JCM 12189T (99.5 %) and Erythrobacter vulgaris DSM 17792T (99.0 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain T30T and closely related strains of Erythrobacter species ranged from 14.5 to 56.9 %.The isolate lacked bacteriochlorophyll a and contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone. The major fatty acids of this strain were C18 : 1 ω7c (38.2 %) and C16 : 1 ω7c /C16 : 1 ω6c (17.4 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content of strain T30T was 59.5 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data, a novel species, Erythrobacter nanhaisediminis sp. nov., is proposed; the type strain is T30T (=CGMCC 1.7715T=JCM 16125T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterial isolate, strain NH36AT, was isolated from a sandy sediment sample from the South China Sea. Colonies of the isolate were dark orange on M2 agar. Optimal growth was observed at pH 7.0–8.5, 30 °C and in the presence of 0.5–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The major fatty acids were C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c). The DNA G+C content was 38.9 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain NH36AT was most closely related to members of the genus Arenibacter, exhibiting 94.3–96.2 % sequence similarity to the type strains of Arenibacter species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, this organism should be classified as a representative of a novel species in the genus Arenibacter. The name Arenibacter nanhaiticus sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is NH36AT (=LMG 24842T=CCTCC AB 208315T=MCCC 1A04137T).

AbstractMarine picoplankton, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic picoplankton, drive many biogeochemical processes, such as carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem. Despite the fact that picoplankton is prevalent, its diversity and spatial distribution from the Straits of Malacca (SM) to the South China Sea (SCS) remain poorly investigated. This work explores the phylogenetic diversity and community structure of picoplankton in relation to environmental factors from the SM to the SCS. To this end, the Illumina MiSeq sequencing technique was applied to 16S and 18S rRNA genes. The results showed significant differences in the dynamics of picoplankton between the open sea and the strait region. Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria constituted a larger part of the prokaryotic group. Within Cyanobacteria, the abundance of Prochlorococcus in the open sea was significantly higher than that of Synechococcus, while the opposite trend was observed in the strait. Dinoflagellata, Cnidaria, Retaria, Tunicata, and Arthropoda dominated among the eukaryotic taxa. High-throughput sequencing data indicated that salinity, temperature and NO2-N were the key factors determining the prokaryotic community structure, while temperature and dissolved oxygen determined the eukaryotic community structure in the studied region. The network analysis demonstrated that the cooperation and competition were also important factors affecting the picoplankton community.

Aerosol Loading

Abstract. Recent studies have regarded atmospheric deposition as an increasingly important source of nutrients to the ocean. The South China Sea (SCS), where aerosol loading is among the highest in the world, however, is poorly studied particularly on the in situ changes of phytoplankton community structures in response to atmospheric deposition. By conducting a series of microcosm bioassays at different hydrographical locations and simulating different aerosol event scales, we observed both positive and negative responses induced by the input of East Asia (EA) aerosol with high nitrogen (N) and trace metal contents, in terms of both community structure and physiological characteristics of phytoplankton. High levels of aerosol loading profoundly relieved phytoplankton nitrogen and trace metal limitations in SCS, and thus increased total phytoplankton biomass, enhanced their physiological indicators (e.g. photosynthetic efficiency) and shifted phytoplankton assemblages from being dominated by picoplankton to microphytoplanton, especially diatoms. However, under low levels of aerosol loading, the composition shift and biomass accumulation were not apparent, suggesting that the stimulation effects might be counterbalanced by enhanced grazing mortality indicated by increased abundance of protist grazers. Trace metal toxicity of the aerosols was also an important negative factor to phytoplankton growth, especially picocyanobacteria, implicated by the high copper (Cu) concentration in the microcosm that surpassed the toxicity threshold of marine cyanobacteria. Moreover, the magnitude and duration of the deposition event, as well as the hydrographical and trophic conditions of receiving waters are also important factors when predicting the influence of an aerosol deposition event. Our results demonstrated that the EA aerosol deposition events could profoundly change nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics in SCS and highlighted the need for achieving an accurate comprehension of atmospheric nutrient on the biogeochemical cycles of the oceans.
