The Hydrocarbon Biodegradation Potential of Faroe-Shetland Channel Bacterioplankton
THE HYDROCARBON BIODEGRADATION POTENTIAL OF FAROE-SHETLAND CHANNEL BACTERIOPLANKTON Angelina G.

ABSTRACT The Faroe-Shetland Channel (FSC) is an important gateway for dynamic water exchange between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Nordic Seas. In recent years it has also become a frontier for deep-water oil exploration and petroleum production, which has raised the risk of oil pollution to local ecosystems and adjacent waterways. In order to better understand the factors that influence the biodegradation of spilled petroleum, a prerequisite has been recognized to elucidate the complex dynamics of microbial communities and their relationships to their ecosystem. This research project was a pioneering attempt to investigate the FSC’s microbial community composition, its response and potential to degrade crude oil hydrocarbons under the prevailing regional temperature conditions. Three strategies were used to investigate this. Firstly, high throughput sequencing and 16S rRNA gene-based community profiling techniques were utilized to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of the FSC bacterioplankton. Monitoring proceeded over a period of 2 years and interrogated the multiple water masses flowing through the region producing 2 contrasting water cores: Atlantic (surface) and Nordic (subsurface). Results revealed microbial profiles more distinguishable based on water cores (rather than individual water masses) and seasonal variability patterns within each core. -

The cosmopolitan diatoms Thalassiosira and Chaetoceros often dominate phytoplankton communities in marine systems. Past studies of diatom-bacterial associations have employed community- level methods and culture-based or natural diatom populations. Although bacterial assemblages attached to individual diatoms represents tight associations little is known on their makeup or interactions.

Thalassomonas Agarivorans Sp. Nov., a Marine Agarolytic Bacterium Isolated from Shallow Coastal Water of An-Ping Harbour, Taiwan
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2006), 56, 1245–1250 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.64130-0 Thalassomonas agarivorans sp. nov., a marine agarolytic bacterium isolated from shallow coastal water of An-Ping Harbour, Taiwan, and emended description of the genus Thalassomonas Wen Dar Jean,1 Wung Yang Shieh2 and Tung Yen Liu2 Correspondence 1Center for General Education, Leader University, No. 188, Sec. 5, An-Chung Rd, Tainan, Wung Yang Shieh Taiwan [email protected] 2Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University, PO Box 23-13, Taipei, Taiwan A marine agarolytic bacterium, designated strain TMA1T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected in a shallow-water region of An-Ping Harbour, Taiwan. It was non-fermentative and Gram-negative. Cells grown in broth cultures were straight or curved rods, non-motile and non-flagellated. The isolate required NaCl for growth and exhibited optimal growth at 25 6C and 3 % NaCl. It grew aerobically and was incapable of anaerobic growth by fermenting glucose or other carbohydrates. Predominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 (17?5 %), C17 : 1v8c (12?8 %), C17 : 0 (11?1 %), C15 : 0 iso 2-OH/C16 : 1v7c (8?6 %) and C13 : 0 (7?3 %). The DNA G+C content was 41?0 mol%. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data accumulated in this study revealed that the isolate could be classified in a novel species of the genus Thalassomonas in the family Colwelliaceae. The name Thalassomonas agarivorans sp. nov. is proposed for the novel species, with TMA1T (=BCRC 17492T=JCM 13379T) as the type strain. Alteromonas-like bacteria in the class Gammaproteobacteria however, they are not exclusively autochthonous in the comprise a large group of marine, heterotrophic, polar- marine environment, since some reports have shown that flagellated, Gram-negative rods that are mainly non- they also occur in freshwater, sewage and soil (Agbo & Moss, fermentative aerobes. -

The effects of these blooms on marine ecosystem functioning, and particularly on the dynamics of the heterotrophic bacteria are still unclear. The response of the bacterial community from a Mediterranean coastal lagoon to th e addition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the jellyfish Aurelia aurita, corresponding to an enrichment of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by 1.4, was assessed during 22 days in microcosms (8 liters). -
Bacterial Diversity and Biogeography of the Cold-Water Gorgonian Primnoa Resedaeformis in Norfolk and Baltimore Canyons Christina A
617 Bacterial diversity and biogeography of the cold-water gorgonian Primnoa resedaeformis in Norfolk and Baltimore canyons Christina A. Kellogg* and Michael A. Gray U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701, USA Abstract Much attention has been paid to the bacterial associates of the cold-water reef- forming scleractinian coral, Lophelia pertusa. However, many other cold-water coral species remain microbiological terra incognita, including the locally abundant, habitat-forming Atlantic octocoral Primnoa resedaeformis. During research cruises in 2012 and 2013, we collected samples from 10 individual coral colonies in each of Baltimore and Norfolk Canyons in the western Atlantic Ocean. DNA was extracted from each sample and the V4-V5 variable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene were amplified and then subjected to 454 pyrosequencing. Samples were dominated by Proteobacteria followed by smaller amounts of Firmicutes, Planctomycetes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. Bacterial community sequences were found to cluster based on submarine canyon of origin. Norfolk Canyon bacterial communities had much higher representation of Gammaproteobacteria, particularly the family Moraxellaceae, compared to Baltimore Canyon communities that were dominated by Alphaproteobacteria, particularly the family Kiloniellaceae. These data provide a first Figure 2. Primnoa resedaeformis, a cold-water octocoral Figure 3.

Deming, Chair John A. Baross Virginia E. Armbrust Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Oceanography i © Copyright 2014 Jeff Shovlowsky Bowman ii Statement of Work This thesis includes previously published and submitted work (Chapters 2−4, Appendix 1). The concept for Chapter 3 and Appendix 1 came from a proposal by JWD to NSF PLR (0908724). The remaining chapters and appendices were conceived and designed by JSB. JSB performed the analysis and writing for all chapters with guidance and editing from JWD and co- authors as listed in the citation for each chapter (see individual chapters). iii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank Jody Deming for her patience and guidance through the many ups and downs of this dissertation, and all the opportunities for fieldwork and collaboration. The members of my committee, Drs. John Baross, Ginger Armbrust, Bob Morris, Seelye Martin, Julian Sachs, and Dale Winebrenner provided valuable additional guidance. The fieldwork described in Chapters 2, 3, and 4, and Appendices 1 and 2 would not have been possible without the help of dedicated guides and support staff. In particular I would like to thank Nok Asker and Lewis Brower for giving me a sample of their vast knowledge of sea ice and the polar environment, and the crew of the icebreaker Oden for a safe and fascinating voyage to the North Pole. -
Three Manganese Oxide-Rich Marine Sediments Harbor Similar Communities of Acetate-Oxidizing Manganese-Reducing Bacteria

In this study, the acetate-utilizing manganese-reducing microbiota in geographi- cally well-separated, manganese oxide-rich sediments from Gullmar Fjord (Sweden), Skagerrak (Norway) and Ulleung Basin (Korea) were analyzed by 16S rRNA-stable isotope probing (SIP). Manganese reduction was the prevailing terminal electron-accepting process in anoxic incubations of surface sediments, and even the addition of acetate stimulated neither iron nor sulfate reduction. The three geographically distinct sediments harbored surprisingly similar communities of acetate- utilizing manganese-reducing bacteria: 16S rRNA of members of the genera Colwellia and Arcobacter and of novel genera within the Oceanospirillaceae and Alteromonadales were detected in heavy RNA-SIP fractions from these three sediments. Most probable number (MPN) analysis yielded up to 106 acetate-utilizing manganese-reducing cells cm À 3 in Gullmar Fjord sediment.
