In addition, the sequence of the dsrAB gene homologs of the sulfite reducer Desulfitobacterium dehalogenans was determined. In contrast to previous reports, comparative analysis of all available DsrAB sequences produced a tree topology partially inconsistent with the corresponding 16S rRNA phylogeny. For example, the DsrAB sequences of -several Desulfotomaculum species (low G؉C gram-positive division) and two members of the genus Thermode sulfobacterium (a separate bacterial division) were monophyletic with ␦-proteobacterial DsrAB sequences.

  • Core Sulphate-Reducing Microorganisms in Metal-Removing Semi-Passive Biochemical Reactors and the Co-Occurrence of Methanogens
    microorganisms Article Core Sulphate-Reducing Microorganisms in Metal-Removing Semi-Passive Biochemical Reactors and the Co-Occurrence of Methanogens Maryam Rezadehbashi and Susan A. Baldwin * Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of British Columbia, 2360 East Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-604-822-1973 Received: 2 January 2018; Accepted: 17 February 2018; Published: 23 February 2018 Abstract: Biochemical reactors (BCRs) based on the stimulation of sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are emerging semi-passive remediation technologies for treatment of mine-influenced water. Their successful removal of metals and sulphate has been proven at the pilot-scale, but little is known about the types of SRM that grow in these systems and whether they are diverse or restricted to particular phylogenetic or taxonomic groups. A phylogenetic study of four established pilot-scale BCRs on three different mine sites compared the diversity of SRM growing in them. The mine sites were geographically distant from each other, nevertheless the BCRs selected for similar SRM types. Clostridia SRM related to Desulfosporosinus spp. known to be tolerant to high concentrations of copper were members of the core microbial community. Members of the SRM family Desulfobacteraceae were dominant, particularly those related to Desulfatirhabdium butyrativorans. Methanogens were dominant archaea and possibly were present at higher relative abundances than SRM in some BCRs. Both hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic types were present. There were no strong negative or positive co-occurrence correlations of methanogen and SRM taxa. Knowing which SRM inhabit successfully operating BCRs allows practitioners to target these phylogenetic groups when selecting inoculum for future operations.

A dense plate of phototrophic purple sulfur bacteria is found at the chemocline, but to date the rest of the Mahoney Lake microbial ecosystem has been underexamined. In particular, the microbial community that resides in the aphotic hypolimnion and ⁄ or in the lake sediments is unknown, and it is unclear whether the sulfate reducers that supply sulfide for phototrophy live only within, or also below, the plate. Here we profiled distribu- tions of 16S rRNA genes using gene clone libraries and PhyloChip microarrays. Both approaches suggest that microbial diversity is greatest in the hypolimnion (8 m) and sediments. Diversity is lowest in the photosynthetic plate (7 m). Shallower depths (5 m, 7 m) are rich in Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteo- bacteria, while deeper depths (8 m, sediments) are rich in Crenarchaeota, Natronoanaerobium, and Verrucomi- crobia. The heterogeneous distribution of Deltaproteobacteria and Epsilonproteobacteria between 7 and 8 m is consistent with metabolisms involving sulfur intermediates in the chemocline, but complete sulfate reduction in the hypolimnion.

Alm Nature Microbiology volume1, Article number: 16130 (2016) | Download Citation Abstract Much remains unknown about what drives microbial community structure and diversity. Highly structured environments might offer clues. For example, it may be possible to identify metabolically similar species as groups of organisms that correlate spatially with the geochemical processes they carry out. Here, we use a 16S ribosomal RNA gene survey in a lake that has chemical gradients across its depth to identify groups of spatially correlated but phylogenetically diverse organisms. Some groups had distributions across depth that aligned with the distributions of metabolic processes predicted by a biogeochemical model, suggesting that these groups performed biogeochemical functions. A single-cell genetic assay showed, however, that the groups associated with one biogeochemical process, sulfate reduction, contained only a few organisms that have the genes required to reduce sulfate. These results raise the possibility that some of these spatially correlated groups are consortia of phylogenetically diverse and metabolically different microbes that cooperate to carry out geochemical functions.

Recent discoveries have highlighted the importance of the gastrointestinal microbiome in mediating the bidirectional communication between the central and enteric nervous system via circulating factors. Using shotgun sequencing, we investigated the gut microbiome composition in the R6/1 transgenic mouse model of HD from 4 to 12 weeks of age (early adolescent through to adult stages). Targeted metabolomics was also performed on the blood plasma of these mice (n=9 per group) at 12 weeks of age to investigate potential effects of gut dysbiosis on the plasma metabolome proƒle.

  • 1 Characterization of Sulfur Metabolizing Microbes in a Cold Saline Microbial Mat of the Canadian High Arctic Raven Comery Mast
    Characterization of sulfur metabolizing microbes in a cold saline microbial mat of the Canadian High Arctic Raven Comery Master of Science Department of Natural Resource Sciences Unit: Microbiology McGill University, Montreal July 2015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master in Science © Raven Comery 2015 1 Abstract/Résumé The Gypsum Hill (GH) spring system is located on Axel Heiberg Island of the High Arctic, perennially discharging cold hypersaline water rich in sulfur compounds. Microbial mats are found adjacent to channels of the GH springs. This thesis is the first detailed analysis of the Gypsum Hill spring microbial mats and their microbial diversity. Physicochemical analyses of the water saturating the GH spring microbial mat show that in summer it is cold (9°C), hypersaline (5.6%), and contains sulfide (0-10 ppm) and thiosulfate (>50 ppm). Pyrosequencing analyses were carried out on both 16S rRNA transcripts (i.e. cDNA) and genes (i.e. DNA) to investigate the mat’s community composition, diversity, and putatively active members. In order to investigate the sulfate reducing community in detail, the sulfite reductase gene and its transcript were also sequenced. Finally, enrichment cultures for sulfate/sulfur reducing bacteria were set up and monitored for sulfide production at cold temperatures. Overall, sulfur metabolism was found to be an important component of the GH microbial mat system, particularly the active fraction, as 49% of DNA and 77% of cDNA from bacterial 16S rRNA gene libraries were classified as taxa capable of the reduction or oxidation of sulfur compounds.
