  • Heat Resistant Thermophilic Endospores in Cold Estuarine Sediments
    Heat resistant thermophilic endospores in cold estuarine sediments Emma Bell Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering February 2016 Abstract Microbial biogeography explores the spatial and temporal distribution of microorganisms at multiple scales and is influenced by environmental selection and passive dispersal. Understanding the relative contribution of these factors can be challenging as their effects can be difficult to differentiate. Dormant thermophilic endospores in cold sediments offer a natural model for studies focusing on passive dispersal. Understanding distributions of these endospores is not confounded by the influence of environmental selection; rather their occurrence is due exclusively to passive transport. Sediment heating experiments were designed to investigate the dispersal histories of various thermophilic spore-forming Firmicutes in the River Tyne, a tidal estuary in North East England linking inland tributaries with the North Sea. Microcosm incubations at 50-80°C were monitored for sulfate reduction and enriched bacterial populations were characterised using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, functional gene clone libraries and high-throughput sequencing. The distribution of thermophilic endospores among different locations along the estuary was spatially variable, indicating that dispersal vectors originating in both warm terrestrial and marine habitats contribute to microbial diversity in estuarine and marine environments. In addition to their persistence in cold sediments, some endospores displayed a remarkable heat-resistance surviving multiple rounds of autoclaving. These extremely heat-resistant endospores are genetically similar to those detected in deep subsurface environments, including geothermal groundwater investigated from a nearby terrestrial borehole drilled to >1800 m depth with bottom temperatures in excess of 70°C.

The influx of endospores of thermophilic microorganisms to cold marine sediments offers a natural model for investigating passive dispersal in the ocean. We investigated the activity, diversity and abundance of thermophilic endospore-forming sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in Aarhus Bay by incubating pasteurized sediment between 28 and 85 1C, and by subsequent molecular diversity analyses of 16S rRNA and of the dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase (dsrAB) genes within the endospore-forming SRB genus Desulfotomaculum. The thermophilic Desulfotomaculum community in Aarhus Bay sediments consisted of at least 23 species-level 16S rRNA sequence phylotypes. In two cases, pairs of identical 16S rRNA and dsrAB sequences in Arctic surface sediment 3000 km away showed that the same phylotypes are present in both locations. Radiotracer- enhanced most probable number analysis revealed that the abundance of endospores of thermophilic SRB in Aarhus Bay sediment was ca.

  • Anaeromicrobium Sediminis Gen. Nov., Sp. Nov., a Fermentative Bacterium Isolated from Deep-Sea Sediment
    NOTE Zhang et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017;67:1462–1467 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.001739 Anaeromicrobium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov., a fermentative bacterium isolated from deep-sea sediment Xiaobo Zhang,1,2,3† Xiang Zeng,1,2,3† Xi Li,1,2,3 Karine Alain,4,5,6 Mohamed Jebbar4,5,6 and Zongze Shao1,2,3,* Abstract A novel anaerobic, mesophilic, heterotrophic bacterium, designated strain DY2726DT, was isolated from West Pacific Ocean sediments. Cells were long rods (0.5–0.8 µm wide, 4–15 µm long), Gram-positive and motile by means of flagella. The temperature and pH ranges for growth were 25–40 C and pH 6.5–9.0, while optimal growth occurred at 37 C and pH 7.5, with a generation time of 76 min. The strain required sea salts for growth at concentrations from 10 to 30 g lÀ1 (optimum at 20 g lÀ1). Substrates used as carbon sources were yeast extract, tryptone, glucose, cellobiose, starch, gelatin, dextrin, fructose, fucose, galactose, galacturonic acid, gentiobiose, glucosaminic acid, mannose, melibiose, palatinose and rhamnose. Products of fermentation were carbon dioxide, acetic acid and butyric acid. Strain DY2726DT was able to reduce amorphous iron hydroxide, goethite, amorphous iron oxides, anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate and crotonate, but did not reduce sulfur, sulfate, thiosulfate, sulfite or nitrate. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DY2726DT was affiliated to the family Clostridiaceae and was most closely related to the type strains of Alkaliphilus transvaalensis (90.0 % similarity) and Alkaliphilus oremlandii (89.6 %).

However, our knowledge of these microbial populations in the deep subseafoor sedimentary biosphere remains limited. Here, we present a cultivation experiment of 2-km-deep subseafoor microbial communities in 20-million- year-old lignite coalbeds using a continuous-fow bioreactor operating at 40 °C for 1029 days with lignite particles as the major energy source. Chemical monitoring of efuent samples via fuorescence emission-excitation matrices spectroscopy and stable isotope analyses traced the transformation of coalbed-derived organic matter in the dissolved phase. Hereby, the production of acetate and 13C-depleted methane together with the increase and transformation of high molecular weight humics point to an active lignite-degrading methanogenic community present within the bioreactor. Electron microscopy revealed abundant microbial cells growing on the surface of lignite particles. Small subunit rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that diverse microorganisms grew in the bioreactor (e.g., phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Chlorofexi, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes, Tenericutes, Ignavibacteriae, and SBR1093).

Using high temperature incubation experiments and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, geographic and temporal thermospore dispersal in marine sediments was explored. Thermospores detected in surface sediments across the North Atlantic are likely to originate from multiple warm temperature habitats, and are viable in sediments buried ~15 000 years ago.

This study Lotta Purkamo, explored the cultivable microbial diversity in anaerobic enrichment cultures from cores Geological Survey of Finland, Finland recovered during the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 357 from *Correspondence: ◦ Anne Postec the Atlantis Massif (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 30 N). 16S rRNA gene survey of enrichment ◦ [email protected] cultures grown at 10–25 C and pH 8.5 showed that Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were generally dominant. However, cultivable microbial diversity significantly differed Specialty section: This article was submitted to depending on incubation at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa), or hydrostatic pressures Extreme Microbiology, (HP) mimicking the in situ pressure conditions (8.2 or 14.0 MPa). An original, strictly a section of the journal anaerobic bacterium designated 70B-AT was isolated from core M0070C-3R1 (1150 Frontiers in Microbiology meter below sea level; 3.5 m below seafloor) only from cultures performed at 14.0 MPa.
