    A Study on the Phototrophic Microbial Mat Communities of Sulphur Mountain Thermal Springs and their Association with the Endangered, Endemic Snail Physella johnsoni By Michael Bilyj A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Microbiology Faculty of Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba October 2011 © Copyright 2011, Michael A. Bilyj 1 Abstract The seasonal population fluctuation of anoxygenic phototrophs and the diversity of cyanobacteria at the Sulphur Mountain thermal springs of Banff, Canada were investigated and compared to the drastic population changes of the endangered snail Physella johnsoni. A new species and two strains of Rhodomicrobium were taxonomically characterized in addition to new species of Rhodobacter and Erythromicrobium. Major mat-forming organisms included Thiothrix-like species, oxygenic phototrophs of genera Spirulina, Oscillatoria, and Phormidium and purple nonsulfur bacteria Rhodobacter, Rhodopseudomonas and Rhodomicrobium. Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs comprised upwards of 9.6 x 104 CFU/cm2 of mat or 18.9% of total aerobic heterotrophic bacterial isolates at certain sites, while maximal purple nonsulfur and purple sulfur bacteria were quantified at 3.2 x 105 and 2.0 x 106 CFU/cm2 of mat, respectively. Photosynthetic activity measurements revealed incredibly productive carbon fixation rates averaging 40.5 mg C/cm2/24 h. A temporal mismatch was observed for mat area and prokaryote-based organics to P. johnsoni population flux in a ―tracking inertia‖ manner. 2 Acknowledgements It is difficult to express sufficient gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Vladimir Yurkov for his unfaltering patience, generosity and motivation throughout this entire degree.

    Fermentation and Anaerobic Decomposition in a Hot Spring

    Fermentation and anaerobic decomposition in a hot spring microbial mat by Karen Leigh Anderson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology Montana State University © Copyright by Karen Leigh Anderson (1984) Abstract: Fermentation was investigated in a low sulfate hot spring microbial mat (Octopus Spring) according to current models on anaerobic decomposition. The mat was studied to determine what fermentation products accumulated, where in the mat they accumulated, and what factors affected their accumulation. Mat samples were incubated under dark anaerobic conditions to measure accumulation of fermentation products. Acetate and propionate (ca. 3:1) were the major products to accumulate in a 55&deg,C mat. Other products accumulated to a much lesser extent. Incubation of mat samples of varying thickness showed that fermentation occurred in the top 4mm of the mat. This has interesting implications for fermentative organisms in the mat due to the diurnal changes in mat oxygen concentrations. Fermentation measured in mat samples collected at various temperatures (50&deg,-70°C) showed acetate and propionate to be the major accumulation products. According to the interspecies hydrogen transfer model, the hydrogen concentration in a system affects the types of fermentation products produced. At a 65° C site, with natural high hydrogen levels, and at a 55°C site, with active methanogenesis, fermentation product accumulation was compared. There was a greater ratio of reduced fermentation products to acetate, with the exception of propionate, at 65°C. Ethanol accumulated at the 65°C site, as did lactate, though to a lesser extent.

All green plants and other organisms that produce their own food are the primary producers of food in an ecosystem. They are called autotrophs. An autotroph (AW tuh trohf) is an organism that captures energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to produce food. Autotrophs make energy available for all other organisms in the ecosystem. How do heterotrophs differ from autotrophs? A heterotroph (HE tuh roh trohf), also called a consumer, is an organism that obtains energy by consuming other organisms. A heterotroph that consumes only plants is an herbivore (HUR buh vor). Cows, rabbits, and grasshoppers are herbivores.

Brackish brine (fed by meltwater inside the ice) is an expanding sympagic habitat in summer all over the CAO. We report for the first time the structure of bacterial communities in this brine. They are composed of psychrophilic extremophiles, many of them related to phylotypes known from Arctic and Antarctic regions. Community structure displayed strong habitat segregation between brackish ice brine (IB; salinity 2.4–9.6) and immediate sub-ice seawater (SW; – 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: salinity 33.3 34.9), expressed at all taxonomic levels (class to genus), by dominant phylotypes as well as by the rare biosphere, and with specialists dominating IB and generalists SW. The dominant phylotypes in IB were related to Candidatus Aquiluna and Flavobacterium, those in SW to Balneatrix and ZD0405, and those shared between the habitats to Halomonas, Polaribacter and Shewanella.

    Bioenergetics Module a Anchor 3

    Bioenergetics Module A Anchor 3 Key Concepts: - ATP can easily release and store energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups. This characteristic of ATP makes it exceptionally useful as a basic energy source for all cells. - In the process of photosynthesis, plants convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy stored in the bonds of carbohydrates. - Photosynthetic organisms capture energy from sunlight with pigments. - An electron carrier is a compound that can accept a pair of high-energy electrons and transfer them, along with most of their energy, to another molecule. - Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high- energy sugars and oxygen. - Among the most important factors that affect photosynthesis are temperature, light intensity, and the availability of water. - Organisms get the energy they need from food. - Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen. - Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food. - In the absence of oxygen, fermentation releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP. - For short, quick bursts of energy, the body uses ATP already in muscles as well as ATP made by lactic acid fermentation. - For exercise longer than about 90 seconds, cellular respiration is the only way to continue generating a supply of ATP.
