Moss Habitats Distinctly Affect Their Associated Bacterial Community Structures As Revealed by the High-Throughput Sequencing Method World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (2018) 34:58 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11274-018-2436-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Moss habitats distinctly affect their associated bacterial community structures as revealed by the high-throughput sequencing method Su Wang1 · Jing Yan Tang1 · Jing Ma1 · Xue Dong Li1 · Yan Hong Li1 Received: 23 September 2017 / Accepted: 17 March 2018 © Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract To better understand the factors that influence the distribution of bacteria associated with mosses, the communities inhabit- ing in five moss species from two different habitats in Beijing Songshan National Nature Reserve were investigated using the high-throughput sequencing method. The sequencing was performed based on the bacterial 16S rRNA and 16S rDNA libraries. Results showed that there are abundant bacteria inhabiting in all the mosses sampled. The taxonomic analysis of these bacteria showed that they mainly consisted of those in the phyla Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, and seldom were from phylum Armatimonadetes, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. The hierarchical cluster tree, based on the OTU level, divided the bacteria associated with all samples into two branches according to the habitat types of the host (terrestrial and aquatic). The PCoA diagram further divided the bacterial compositions into four groups according to both types of habitats and the data sources (DNA and RNA). There were larger differences in the bacterial community composition in the mosses col- lected from aquatic habitat than those of terrestrial one, whether at the DNA or RNA level. Thus, this survey supposed that the habitat where the host was growing was a relevant factor influencing bacterial community composition. In addition, the bacterial community detected at the RNA level was more sensitive to the habitat of the growing host, which could also be proved by the significantly differences in the predicted function by PICRUSt and the metabolically active dominant genera between different groups. This study expands the knowledge about the interactions between mosses and microbes.

A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

Naturk. Ser. A Nr. 589 15 S. Stuttgart, 10. 8. 1999 New Views on the Relationships among European Pleurocarpous Mosses By Lars Hedenäs, Stockholm With 2 figures Summary An overview is given of the results of higher level cladistic studies of pleurocarpous moss- es, and the implications of these for the classification of severel larger families represented in Europe. Starting with the more ancestral taxa, the traditional Isobryales forms a basal grade, followed by another grade including taxa with capsules of Brachytbecwm-sha.pc. The latter grade includes taxa such as the Brachytheciaceae, Ctenidiaceae, and Hylocomiaceae, as well as the subfamily Heterocladioideae of the Thuidiaceae. The Amblystegiaceae, Rhytidiaceae, the temperate members of the Hypnaceae, and the Thuidiceae (excl. the Heterocladioideae) form a monophyletic group, with the Plagiotheciaecae as their sister group. The few European members of the Callicostaceae, Hokeriaceae, Leucomiaceae, and Sematophyllaceae belong to another monophyletic group with mainly tropical and subtropical members. The tropical members of the traditionally heterogeneous Hypnaceae are not closely related to the temper- ate members found in Europe. Zusammenfassung Die Arbeit stellt die Ergebnisse einer Stammbaumanalyse der Großgruppen pleurokarper Moose und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Einteilung einiger größerer in Europa vertretener Fa- milien dar.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems.

Precipitation and Particulate Matter Properties S1.1 Precipitation Categorization In this study, we have segregated our precipitation samples into four different categories, such as (1) snows, (2) hails/thunderstorms, (3) long-lasted rains, and (4) weak rains. For this categorization, we have considered both our observation-based as well as the disdrometer-assigned National Weather Service (NWS) 20 code. Initially, the precipitation samples had been assigned one of the four categories based on our manual observation. In the next step, we have used each NWS code and its occurrence in each precipitation sample to finalize the precipitation category. During this step, a precipitation sample was categorized into snow, only when we identified a snow type NWS code (Snow: S-, S, S+ and/or Snow Grains: SG). Likewise, a precipitation sample was categorized into hail/thunderstorm, only when the cumulative sum of NWS codes for hail was 25 counted more than five times (i.e., A + SP ≥ 5; where A and SP are the codes for soft hail and hail, respectively).

  • Fontinalis Antipyretica Greater Water-Moss Key 324
    Hypnales Fontinalis antipyretica Greater Water-moss Key 324 Sharply keeled leaf 4 mm Sharply keeled leaf in cross- section 0.5 mm 4 mm Identification This is our largest aquatic moss, with shoots (1.5–) 5–8 mm wide and often exceeding 15 cm in length. The leaves are 4–5 mm long and strongly folded inwards along the midline, with the fold-line forming a prominent keel. The shoots are usually 3-sided, with the keels forming the angles and the overlapping halves of adjacent leaves forming the sides. The leaf lacks a nerve (though it is not easy to unfold the keel and demonstrate this) and its tip is bluntly pointed and untoothed. Capsules are very uncommon, and almost hidden amongst the leaves, occurring only on plants which have undergone a period of exposure above the water. Similar species No other aquatic mosses have strongly keeled leaves like those of F. antipyretica. Like many aquatics, however, the species is very variable and not all plants have shoots which are as neatly 3-sided as the illustrated plants. However, even slender forms and those with more distantly spaced leaves have at least a moderately well- developed keel. Habitat F. antipyretica grows in a wide range of still, slowly or rapidly flowing water bodies, including lakes and ponds, canals, streams and rivers. Plants are usually attached to stones, rocks or waterside trees, but sometimes occur in loose masses on the bottom of shallow, still waters. It tolerates a wide range of water quality, but is usually replaced by F. squamosa (p.

[email protected], tel.:+3580294157792 Abstract Two closely related tropical genera from the pleurocarpous moss family Neckeraceae are revised: the second largest genus in the family, Neckeropsis, currently with 29 species, and Himantocladium, comprising six species. Twenty-one species of Neckeropsis and five of Himantocladium were included in this study, which is based on phylogenetic analyses using sequence level data from the plastid (rps4)-trnT-trnL-trnF cluster and rpl16 as well as nuclear ITS1 & 2. Neckeropsis ap- peared as polyphyletic. Neckeropsis s. str. comprises 12 species and a further four species, not included in the analysis, are tentatively retained in the genus based on morphology.

Delineation of Clade1 and Clade3 from Clade2 was supported by robust clustering and high bootstrap values of more than 90% and 100% in all the phylogenetic methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity shared by Clade1 and Clade2 was 88 to 93%, Clade1 and Clade3 was 88 to 91% and Clade2 and Clade3 was 89 to 92%. Based on robust phylogenetic clustering, less than 93.0% sequence similarity, unique in silico restriction patterns, presence of distinct signature nucleotides and signature motifs in their 16S rRNA gene sequences, two more genera were carved to accommodate species of Clade1 and Clade3. The name Hymenobacter, sensu stricto, was retained to represent 17 species of Clade2. For members of Clade1 and Clade3, the names Siccationidurans gen. nov. and Parahymenobacter gen. nov. were proposed, respectively, and species belonging to Clade1 and Clade3 were transferred to their respective genera.
