Santiago-Vázquez This project was conducted to identify culturable bacteria isolated from sponges affected in the 2016 massive die-off at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). The FGBNMS was considered a healthy reef system until sport divers reported on July 25th 2016 green, hazy water with huge patches of white mats on corals, sponges, other vertebrates and dead animals littering the bottom of East Flower Garden Bank. To help elucidate the root cause of this event, affected and unaffected sponge samples of Agelas clathrodes and Xestospongia muta sponges from East bank were examined for their associated microbial communities using culture-dependent methods. MALDI – TOF – MS and 16S rDNA sequencing were used to identify representative isolates. MALDI – TOF – MS and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis showed the presence of Bacillus firmus, Pseudovibrio spp., Halanaerobium spp., Microbulbifer vi variabilis, and Microbulbifer spp. in unaffected samples. Bacillus firmus could help sponges by nitrogen fixation and producing secondary metabolites that protects sponges from predators and Halanaerobium sehlinense is fermentative bacteria. The role of Halanaerobium sehlinense in sponges is not yet clear. Affected samples showed the presence of Vibrio spp. and Halanaerobium sehlinense. Vibrio spp. which occurs naturally in sea water as opportunistic pathogenic bacteria exhibits stronger proteolytic (caseinase), phospholipase and hemolytic activities. These potential pathogens may have contributed into massive die-off at East bank of FGBNMS. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables

  • Regeneration of Unconventional Natural Gas by Methanogens Co
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Regeneration of unconventional natural gas by methanogens co‑existing with sulfate‑reducing prokaryotes in deep shale wells in China Yimeng Zhang1,2,3, Zhisheng Yu1*, Yiming Zhang4 & Hongxun Zhang1 Biogenic methane in shallow shale reservoirs has been proven to contribute to economic recovery of unconventional natural gas. However, whether the microbes inhabiting the deeper shale reservoirs at an average depth of 4.1 km and even co-occurring with sulfate-reducing prokaryote (SRP) have the potential to produce biomethane is still unclear. Stable isotopic technique with culture‑dependent and independent approaches were employed to investigate the microbial and functional diversity related to methanogenic pathways and explore the relationship between SRP and methanogens in the shales in the Sichuan Basin, China. Although stable isotopic ratios of the gas implied a thermogenic origin for methane, the decreased trend of stable carbon and hydrogen isotope value provided clues for increasing microbial activities along with sustained gas production in these wells. These deep shale-gas wells harbored high abundance of methanogens (17.2%) with ability of utilizing various substrates for methanogenesis, which co-existed with SRP (6.7%). All genes required for performing methylotrophic, hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogenesis were present. Methane production experiments of produced water, with and without additional available substrates for methanogens, further confrmed biomethane production via all three methanogenic pathways. Statistical analysis and incubation tests revealed the partnership between SRP and methanogens under in situ sulfate concentration (~ 9 mg/L). These results suggest that biomethane could be produced with more fexible stimulation strategies for unconventional natural gas recovery even at the higher depths and at the presence of SRP.

  • Evaluation of 16S Rrna Primer Sets for Characterisation of Microbiota in Paediatric Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evaluation of 16S rRNA primer sets for characterisation of microbiota in paediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder L. Palkova1,2, A. Tomova3, G. Repiska3, K. Babinska3, B. Bokor4, I. Mikula5, G. Minarik2, D. Ostatnikova3 & K. Soltys4,6* Abstract intestinal microbiota is becoming a signifcant marker that refects diferences between health and disease status also in terms of gut-brain axis communication. Studies show that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have a mix of gut microbes that is distinct from the neurotypical children. Various assays are being used for microbiota investigation and were considered to be universal. However, newer studies showed that protocol for preparing DNA sequencing libraries is a key factor infuencing results of microbiota investigation. The choice of DNA amplifcation primers seems to be the crucial for the outcome of analysis. In our study, we have tested 3 primer sets to investigate diferences in outcome of sequencing analysis of microbiota in children with ASD. We found out that primers detected diferent portion of bacteria in samples especially at phylum level; signifcantly higher abundance of Bacteroides and lower Firmicutes were detected using 515f/806r compared to 27f/1492r and 27f*/1495f primers. So, the question is whether a gold standard of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio is a valuable and reliable universal marker, since two primer sets towards 16S rRNA can provide opposite information. Moreover, signifcantly higher relative abundance of Proteobacteria was detected using 27f/1492r. The beta diversity of sample groups difered remarkably and so the number of observed bacterial genera. An advent of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies has revolutionized an investigating of human microbiota1.

  • 1 Microbial Transformations of Organic Chemicals in Produced Fluid From
    Microbial transformations of organic chemicals in produced fluid from hydraulically fractured natural-gas wells Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Morgan V. Evans Graduate Program in Environmental Science The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Professor Paula Mouser, Advisor Professor Gil Bohrer, Co-Advisor Professor Matthew Sullivan, Member Professor Ilham El-Monier, Member Professor Natalie Hull, Member 1 Copyrighted by Morgan Volker Evans 2019 2 Abstract Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies have greatly improved the production of oil and natural-gas from previously inaccessible non-permeable rock formations. Fluids comprised of water, chemicals, and proppant (e.g., sand) are injected at high pressures during hydraulic fracturing, and these fluids mix with formation porewaters and return to the surface with the hydrocarbon resource. Despite the addition of biocides during operations and the brine-level salinities of the formation porewaters, microorganisms have been identified in input, flowback (days to weeks after hydraulic fracturing occurs), and produced fluids (months to years after hydraulic fracturing occurs). Microorganisms in the hydraulically fractured system may have deleterious effects on well infrastructure and hydrocarbon recovery efficiency. The reduction of oxidized sulfur compounds (e.g., sulfate, thiosulfate) to sulfide has been associated with both well corrosion and souring of natural-gas, and proliferation of microorganisms during operations may lead to biomass clogging of the newly created fractures in the shale formation culminating in reduced hydrocarbon recovery. Consequently, it is important to elucidate microbial metabolisms in the hydraulically fractured ecosystem.

Quinn Li, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT GEOMICROBIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF SALINE LAKES ON THE TIBETAN PLATEAU, NW CHINA: LINKING GEOLOGICAL AND MICROBIAL PROCESSES By Hongchen Jiang Lakes constitute an important part of the global ecosystem as habitats in these environments play an important role in biogeochemical cycles of life-essential elements. The cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in these ecosystems are intimately linked to global phenomena such as climate change. Microorganisms are at the base of the food chain in these environments and drive the cycling of carbon and nitrogen in water columns and the sediments. Despite many studies on microbial ecology of lake ecosystems, significant gaps exist in our knowledge of how microbial and geological processes interact with each other. In this dissertation, I have studied the ecology and biogeochemistry of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau, NW China. The Tibetan lakes are pristine and stable with multiple environmental gradients (among which are salinity, pH, and ammonia concentration). These characteristics allow an assessment of mutual interactions of microorganisms and geochemical conditions in these lakes. Two lakes were chosen for this project: Lake Chaka and Qinghai Lake. These two lakes have contrasting salinity and pH: slightly saline (12 g/L) and alkaline (9.3) for Qinghai Lake and hypersaline (325 g/L) but neutral pH (7.4) for Chaka Lake.
